Yeah, but if we ever got put on a writing staff the corset and candy budget would drive the production into the ground.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Kudos, Misha! Well done.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Cool article. One quibble:
Another story in the book, written and drawn by Jim Stanton, is nearly wordless and illustrated with '90s-style computer-rendered images.
It's Jim Starlin, and although those particular pages may be computer-rendered, he's been using pretty much the same style since he did Warlock back in the mid-seventies.

Oh, *crap*, to the error. I even had it double-checked by a geek.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, crap, indeed. But I still thought it was a fabulous article even on my very first time through it, before I did that big fat doubletake and scrolled back up to read the byline again.

I didn't even notice the byline first time through and liked it.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
did anyone hear Joss on Fresh Air yesterday? I could barely hear it as the phone decided to ring several times and people wanting stuff done and such.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
He was on Talk of the Nation, not Fresh Air, and you can listen to it online here.
I went to High School with Kyle Baker. I think he was a year behind me.

"What's the rumpus?"
Hey comic talkin' dudes. Raise your hand if you just saw some of John Cassaday's pages for the first issue of Astonishing X-Men. Anyone? Just me, then? Too bad for you, I guess. Glad I'm me, who has seen them.
'Cause the pages are SO sweet. I'm in heaven. I guess WIZARD is gonna do a preview of a few pages to give you a taste... I'm so impressed with his pencils I might just NOT take a year between issues. Seriously. From the heart.
And Kitty. She definitely shared Buffy's shouldering the fate of the world and dealing with grown-up issues way young and proving herself and really grounding the book with a relatable kid in (as pointed out) a spiderman way. I'm definitely old school when it comes to Kitty. Which will undoubtedly piss some people off. I hated her suddenly seeming to be the same age as everyone else, all Dodson-voluptuous and kinda generic. So slight reboot in that I liked the girl who kind of turned her back on superheroing for a while and is getting back into it, a college age girl who's not anything like, say, Emma. And I adore the way John draws her.
Actually everyone looks wonderful -- John gets the humanity without losing the hero. Me smart to be so lucky.
Me tired. hope you like ASTONISHING. -j.
