Need, because I no longer just want them.

Oh, I know this feeling well.

Signed,
Went to the bookstore tonight to buy regular books, walked out with regular books plus two Batman trades, a Green Arrow by Winick, and a Daredevil by Kevin Smith.

I may have to seize the cat.

You have a magical bosom with both the power to nurture and to destroy.

Me too.

Since Magneto ran the school for a while, this doesn't even ping the radar of Huh?

Yes but for some very visceral reason I can't explain, I doubt Emma's goodness much more than I would ever doubt Magneto. I guess because I think of Magneto as broken-and-thus-evil, and Emma as just-a-big-bitch. Kitty love blinding me again.

I am SO proud of myself.

I walked in and picked up Y - the Last Man TPB #2 and 3 back issues of Promethea, but I left with Essential X-Men #5. Why am I proud, since I spent exactly the same amt. of money? Because I got SO many more comics for it.

15 issues vs. 26 or something.

Plus, this store doesn't have a huge group of Promethea followers so I think I'll be ok to pick those up later.

I also ogled lots of other TPBs including SiP #1 but bought none of them. Good me! I deserve a treat. Perhaps a cookie.

And I'm so excited to be reading X-Men as new as 1985! 1986! Woo!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hey, my beloved fellow geeks! I have an actual question, and not just fangirl burbles.

I've been reading a LOT of Starman over the last week (must see if Dana can be convinced to read this, for there is an argument about Sondheim that she'd love). Anyhow, I was struck by the similarity between what happens with Jack and Mist and what happened with Ollie and Shado in Green Arrow. (Use of whitefont probably not needed for two old storyline, but...) Are there other examples you guys know of where the hero of the piece, while not conscious or aware of his surroundings, is raped/taken advantage of by a previously moderately sympathetic villainess who bears his child as a result?

I'm curious if this is common enough to be a standard trope.

Hey, *she* brought up the situation -- I just applied it to a recent example!

I liked Guardian Devil well enough, but it's not moving me to become a regular reader. There's something about Matt Murdock's pathos that doesn't quite grab me. Or maybe it's his ethos?

I am, however, happily reading Green Arrow and crushing on Oliver Queen.

Bendis and Mack write him much darker.

Steph, actually, I wasn't until YOU brought it up. So there.

It's just something that went swirly in my head as I bagged and boarded things this weekend and thought not-so-deep thoughts. Then I was trying to figure examples in standard literature or mythology as possible roots, but spaced before I could recall them.
