Ooh! On a more positive note, Fables is also fabulous! Particullarly if you're a major folklore geek, like me.
Fables is probably my favorite comic right now, especially since my beloved Transmetropolitan has ended.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I s'pose this is appropriate place as any to stick this, but I've enjoyed the movie Titan AE for a fairly long time. It's a good movie, snarky, with a decent storyline and animation, and the voiceover cast is stellar.
And five minutes ago, when I'm looking at the credits, guess who helped write it? Our very own Joss.
Life's pretty cool.

I don't think Joss takes much credit for Titan AE, though, because I think that was one of his scripts that was torn apart in the Hollywood process (see other items such as X-Men and Alien 3 (or 4, I can't remember).

I bet, tho, that the snarky lines I like are Jossisms.

In my attempts to catch up on posts, I now have no idea who the comics recommendations are for, but here's my two cents:
The comics recs where for me, and thank you. I'm going to have to try and find out where I can get hold of them! Is Gaiman the Neil Gaiman who wrote 'Good Omens' with Terry Pratchett? Because if so, I think I'll start there. I loved that book!

Same Neil.
In my personal fantasy world, he would write a Buffy episode.
Mmm. Neil.

That would be great! He's one of the best fantasy writers around, to judge from what I've read (and since no comics, I guess I've missed out on some major bits).

Fairly major.
Hmm. Perhaps I should re-read American G-ds tonight.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
In my personal fantasy world, when they finally make the Good Omens movie they'll cast JM as Crowley and ASH as Aziraphale. That would kick ass.

It's a remora, dimwit.
and Julia Sawalha as Anathema Device, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyer as Adam.
Of course in actuality they'd probably end up putting MB in "American Gods" with Michael Jackson as Anansi.
