From Neil Gaiman's blog: his speech at the Harveys.
I love this part:
"Right now I actually believe that the best thing about comics may well be that it is a gutter medium. We do not know which fork to use, and we eat with our fingers. We are creators of a medium, we create art in an art-form, which is still alive, which is powerful, which can do things no other medium can do.
"I don't believe that a fraction of the things that can be done with comics have yet been done.
"For now, I think we've barely scratched the surface.
"And I think that's exciting. I don't know where comics as a medium will go in the future. But I want to be amazed, and I'm pretty sure that I shall be."
I like the topic unspecific:
Most of the things I've got right over the years, I got right because I'd got them wrong first.
Scott? Still looking the same age he did in the 70s.
I thought Scott was actually looking a bit older, receding hairline and a bit saggy around the shoulders. But yeah, point taken.
The ultimate result would be a team of geriatric mutants, those who survived to old age, and that would be a highly amusing comic.
I can see people making it out of puberty and gelling at around 24, unless they need to get white hair, but then they gel there, but with a 25 year old body.
Kitty looks to have gelled at an age that prevents her from having had enough time to do what she did.
I don't mind much, but I'm never sure what to remember and what not to at the best of times.
Thanks to Target, I now have teeny Teen Titans (set #1), who will turn my work computer monitor into Titans Tower, and thanks to my cousin's BD gift to me (a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble), I have Batgirl: Year One on its way to me.
I'm thoroughly Bat-family-saturated.
You *think* so now.
Word. Last week, I was in chat with a bunch of other comics fangirls and I actually confounded them with a reference.
I'm becoming one of those scary people you ping for esoteric canon questions.
t facepalm
Shrift, I've been making Insect Reflection level DC jokes for a fair while now.
Paul just pats me on the head.
Um.. White Queen? When did she get the power to, um, change into diamond or whatever it was that she did in
Astounishing
#2?
Unbeknownst to the X-Men, she and Scott have been married for quite some time, and it was their diamond anniversary.
