I just peeked around, and I'm not sure the other Marvel people have numbers yet, or that if they did they'd be comparable -- the X-issue is the first of a new set of Official Handbooks.

Pfft.

Oh, and here:

Kitty's speed is the speed of a normal human -- that's not under debate.

That's meant to be a question -- also, for calibration, 2 is normal human.

Also, she and Kitty have a contentious history. I think she basically kidnapped her at one time, and forced her to join the Hellions, back when Emma wasn't a good guy.

Then there was the whole "Who's school will Kitty go to?" issue, and I don't think Emma ever forgave her for picking Xavier's.

Yeah, I'm mostly Marvel as well, with Vertigo and Image exceptions.

Oh yeah. DUH. Image. How could I forget Image? And America's Best & sometimes Top Cow. Only very rarely on those 2.

...so at used stores today I found both Dark Knight Returns and Dark Knight Strikes again. Oh and Catwoman: Her Sister's Keeper. But I didn't buy any of them, because I didn't like the condition they were in.

...off to email resume and read Y - the Last Man.

Damn you and your gf Gloomcookie! DDAAMMMNNN YYYYOOOUUUU!!

I still have to return your copy of "Who Killed Retro Girl?" though I wanna keep it and love it forever and ever, and I picked up "Roleplay".

I'm a Powers addict, now, you pusher, you.

Damn you.

And thanks.

I've been reading Alias lately and am really liking that as well. The art isn't that great IMO, though.

Alias is pretty cool, yeah. The storylines are nice and dark, but since they're not as wham-bam as Powers, they don't end up being as anticlimactic. The art is weird, yeah. Feels dirty. After you get through it, check out Pulse, which is great so far.

How could I forget Image?

Heh. Actually, with Powers moving to Marvel, I won't have that anymore.

Sweet, we got another one! Yeah, "Who Killed Retro Girl?" hooked me pretty good. And "Role-play" isn't bad either. Leetle creepy, really.

Now I have to get you people into Fables. Fables, people. It's so awesome. And 100 Bullets. Superwackyconspiracyfun.

I'm another mostly Marvel, with a little Vertigo. But I can't think of any Image books I've loved.

Did Top Cow do Rising Stars? Because I loved that one. Also, I read some Wildstorm comics - mostly Warren Ellis's run on Stormwatch and the Authority, and Planetary.

Yay MM!!! One of us...one of us!! P-C, I have the Pulse ready to go once I finish Alias.

Other comics I read are Courtney Crumrin, Dead @ 17, Ghouly Boys (new one and it's so adorable), and Private Beach (just read a trade paperback and really enjoyed it - hilarious).

But I can't think of any Image books I've loved.

I'm a Spawn girl.

I'm fairly split between DC and Marvel. If I get back into any Vertigo, then I will be flashing right back to university.

That's what I'm doing anyway. I'm just not done yet. I thought I was scanning the racks with a fresh eye, but when I picked up Firestorm #1, I realised I'm just flashing back to the early 90s.

Still, Outsiders and Titans and X-Men are cool again. Where does a former devotee of Books Of Magic and Sandman go? Is Hellblazer still good?

Where does a former devotee of Books Of Magic and Sandman go?

Well, if you like/can tolerate the manga art style, there's a rather adorable Death American manga.

Where does a former devotee of Books Of Magic and Sandman go?

Have you tried Fables? I like that a lot.
