Dude. A friend of mine said she'd alert me when the X-Men reboot happens this summer so I can start collecting again, and it didn't actually occur to me until just now that it means... Joss.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not batty (really! for once!) but there's an interesting essay up at Sequential Tart about teaching Transmetropolitan in a college writing class.
Or, maybe mostly interesting to me. But still.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Just re-read Batman: Year One

Does anyone have some recs of comics that would be good for a 7 year old? My nephew is in the hospital recovering from having his tonsils taken out, and I thought that comics would be a good thing to send him. I don't think he's had any exposure to comics before, so I'd like to start him off. (and he never seems thrilled when I buy him books.)
Nothing too boobalicious, gory, and nothing with bugs, please.

Any of the comics based on the Animated Adventures of Superman or Batman would be good, I would think. Or the comics based on Batman: Beyond.

Yes. I even read "The Batman Adventures" every month right now, and I love it. Too bad it's about to get canned. *sigh*

Ah, hell.
I forgot to remind the boy to pick up my effin' Nightwing #92. Crap.
Hmm.
Emergency shopping may be in order.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
There was a minor fight in my office today over whether Nightwing is anything more than a pale imitation of his mentor. The best comment in it went to the design technology lead, who sagely commented, "Let Nightwing be Nightwing."

I don't read it myself - but my comic shop guy rec'd Thundercats when I wanted to get my 9-year-old nephew some comics and he really loves the series.

Hey. New board.
Does anyone have some recs of comics that would be good for a 7 year old?
Bone. Definitely.
Also, Beanworld.
Disclaimer: I like indy comics. Neither of these have superheroes. Move along if you want superheroes.
