I think I went into the store mid-shelving. Because I picked up Outsiders #12 instead of 13. I just grabbed what was behind the "new" sign. At least Secret War has memorable covers, because they had "new" in front of that too, and I got her to correct it.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Amych! That is tragic.
Hey, my last issue arrived in the mail last night. The whole run of Prodigal is MINE.

Eden Studios, the people that have done the Buffy and Angel RPGs, just released in "Eden Studio Presents #1" a background set called "Spacefarers & Prairie Folk" using the same rules as the previous games.
Any resemblance to Firefly is entirely coincidental.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The whole run of Prodigal is MINE.

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.
Huh. I'm guessing they tried for the liscense and couldn't get it.

Willing to bet FOX withheld the license till after the movie, in order to better determine its value...

Major Disaster: "I'm a f$*#!ing super hero!"
This is what I mean. And he always has/had that skewed viewpoint at the meetings. 'When I was a super villain, we hated it when the heroes would ...' kind of thing. Very cool.
Also among the books discussed here that I pulled and reread was the WTWS issue of Young Justice. having bought it well before I started catching Buffy reruns, I missed out on a lot.
Unnamed character who shall be known as AH2: 'I develop a romantic fixation on Cissie's character? Where did that come from?!'
Character who's name I can't remember who shall be known as SMG2: 'Chill, Ok. Joe wrote this one, and Joe knows what he's doing. Trust Joe.'
Heh.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Oh! That arc of JLA also had wonderful Batman. Nightwing hugs him!
Actually, that's when I was first introduced to a bunch of characters I now really like-- Kyle, Ollie, Zatanna, Ray Palmer, and a few others. I'm still a little unclear on the actual plot, though.

Again, that's the thing with Kelly. His plots tend not to be very straightforward, occasionally leaning over into the nonsensical, but his characters and dialogue are strong, and when he actually connects on a plot, he hits pretty hard. The Nightwing Bats hug also had some accompanying talk of 'rules' that should play well with certain posters who have rather definite opinions on Batships.
