move out and draw fire

I just finished tpb's 4 and 5 of Transmet. Still don't know what I think of it, but it's starting to come together for me. I think the actual moral of the story may be close to "Being a Bastard Works!"

My continuing complaint is that Channon and Yelena are kind of in a limbo place...on the one hand, they seem like supporting characters, with enough screen time and stories to be valid characters. On the other hand, the writing makes them not characters in their own right but caricatures of a male POV of women.

However, it's gotta be a first that I could even think literary criticism like that about a comic book.

Also noted that Patrick Stewart wrote the intro to tpb #5, and used the phrase "laughed like a drain" which I thought was a Buffista thing. Is it a Brit thing?

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

We got it from Fay, so I think it's a Brit thing. Maybe it's just a Fay and Patrick Stewart thing, though, which would be even cooler.

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

Does anyone know where I can buy one of these? Also interested in the Pumpkinhead one, and wondering if DC put any others out. I already have the Dream 2 pack and Death.

eBay gives me no love.

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

Heh. We've got one, but Thessaly would never part with it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

t Cues up theme from Mission Impossible...

Dangerous, but how loyal?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Oh, man, that's sweet. Reminds me of the Endless 7-pack of figurines I saw at a comic shop about three years ago, before I'd read any Sandman at all. Now I wanna have a look at 'em again, because I barely remember what they were like.

Alas, they are often bribable...

Have you seen them all, Mr Broom?

I hadn't realised there was a Goldie. Damn, I want it too.
