Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Technically, Holli, Ultimates is a reboot, seperate from the rest of Marvel.

Shrift, you have read the first two collections of Authority? That is all the Warren Ellis stuff. The next two collections are Mark Millar, with a rotating cast of artists. Some issues are brill, others less so.

Stay away from the current incarnation of Authority.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Is it just me? I mean, aren't these people supposed to have a higher calling? At least the DC crowd has the courtesy to repress their massive psychological problems, so they stay bottled up where they belong and mostly don't interfere with fighting crime.

Not just you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The only Ultimate I've read is Ultimate X-Men, and I really like it.

You know, I had the distinct suspicion the moment I wrote that sentence that I'd already consumed the Warren Ellis run. I decided to go to bed in ignorance. The harsh light of morning sucks.

I'm going to attempt to hook Jilli. Pete should live in fear.

You'd think Bats would be a natural for her.

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

How is Katana doing? How's her sword? They did wrap up Halo's story, right? I don't remember how that shook out.

Not really sure. Only glanced at it in the store, but she seems back to normal. Evidently Halo is up and around, too these days, but I know not where.

The only Ultimate I've read is Ultimate X-Men, and I really like it.

Ultimate Fantastic Four. Seriously. It rocks.

Victor's like, an addict grandsire who knows how many times over now.

And me without a commission.

You'd think Bats would be a natural for her.

I think *Dick* would be a natural for her. I mean, she could spend hours picturing his pretty self in eyeliner.

And me without a commission.

Sad, isn't it? DC should pay you.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Oh, it's just that I haven't bothered to get an Ann Arbor library card, and I don't really have that much time to read for pleasure as it is.

Polter-Cow? You're in Ann Arbor?

Mah brothah!

You know Bob?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I'm more curious if he knows Jonathan, or John, or John, or John. All of whom I owe e-mail, as it happens.
