I need Fray 7 & 8. I have this problem wherein I refuse to buy TPBs of things I have the single issues for. So I've got Fray 1-6, but not 7 & 8, and refuse to get the TPB. I've got Promethea 1-6, 12, and 13, so I refuse to get the first two TPBs. It's an issue.

I would rather read comics than clean, today.

It's an issue.

Hee hee hee.

It's an issue.

Hee hee hee.

Puns abound.

Good things about cleaning, part one:

I just found Nightcrawler Marvel Icons #2. Didn't even know I had it.

Remember when I said that Pete had picked up the new issue of Dork Tower: Clanbook Mopey? Everyone should go buy it. This is why.

Ah, Jilli, someday I shall meet you, and you can be Gother Than I, but we can be silly goths. I think we need Plei, too.

Dude, the voices in that panel are spot-on.

Hee.

Dude, the voices in that panel are spot-on.

I wish I knew who Gilly's older brother is based off of. He reminds me a lot of my Evil Queer Twin, Alex.

Clovis is famous! or, you know, more widely so.

I have questions about the Astounishing X-Men, and general X-Men backstory, as I know virtually nothing about the X-verse (other than that Scott Summers is a ginormous TOOL).

#1: Who is Emma? (I can't remember how long we're supposed to whitefont, dang it.) I know that one of the other X-Men said that she used to be a villain, but obviously isn't now. What's the what?

#2: So we have Wolverine busting in on Scott and Emma in bed, getting all pissy and in their faces. Now, I knew -- just from the movie, but I'm assuming from the way that Logan acted in the comic, it's comic canon as well -- that Jean Gray and Cyclops were an item (married?), but there was sparkage between Jean and Logan. Got that. Apparently she died? What up with that?

Those might be my only questions for the time being.

Heh. Oh, Ple, question #2 alone opens up all kinds of backstory, retcons, resets and asspulls, not to mention the difference between regular and Ultimate X-Men.
