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

I'm guessing he's a little busy now that Serenity is shooting.

Oh, sure. Likely excuse. Working. Since when has that ever prevented people from chatting on Buffy fan boards? (:

Elsewhere on the net, and many, many years ago, there was information being passed around on how to perform a mystical ritual to summon Grant Morrisson. I'm really, really not making that up.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Elongated Man

Worst. Superhero. Name. Ever.

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

Havoc's costume? Still dumb. (Can't believe a costume that lame hasn't changed once in 15+ years.)

It has, actually. Check out Peter David's X-factor run after 72 or 73. Havok spent some time in a suit that, while not necessairily better, was much more in line with the style of the time. (He had an onion on his belt).

Yeah, but a great character.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is there any reason for the Elongated Man to exist now that DC owns the rights to Plastic Man?

I just had a fleeting urge to search for Plastic/Elongated slash.

Thankfully, the urge passed before I could act.

He's been played more recently as a more mature detective type, and it sounds like Meltzer's going to put him in the forefront.

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

Also, "Identity Crisis" comes out today. DC comics murder mystery, written by Brad Meltzer, who's work on "Green Arrow" seriously kicked. Supposed to feature the "Satellite Era" JLA--Green Arrow, Hawkman, Atom, Black Canary, Zatanna and Elongated Man. Previews look awesome.

Oh shit. That's right.

Well, crap. I'll be twitching all day until I can boogie off to get my pulls.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My list for today:

Nightwing 94
Identity Crisis 1
Green Arrow 39
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight 180
See if lame little store still has any copies of Astonishing X, which I still haven't picked up.

And a new scanner to, uh, do things I would never ever do.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It has, actually. Check out Peter David's X-factor run after 72 or 73. Havok spent some time in a suit that, while not necessairily better, was much more in line with the style of the time. (He had an onion on his belt).

What time period was that? All I know if he first appeared in the 60s and I'm now up to the mid-eighties and he's still wearing the same really dumb-looking outfit.

Also, Rogue looks really odd (and rather middle-aged) with her initial hairstlyle.

Not sure why people were up in arms about Mystique in the movies beating the crap out of people, because she seems to do it quite a lot in the comics so far (when she's not using a gun, anyway.)
