Bah. New comics day, and there's nothing on the list that I want.
Fie upon thee, comic-book makers!
Though I have Batgirl: Year One on its way to me from B&N.com.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm only getting Ultimate X-Men. And I think I need to make a proper list of the graphic novesl I want.

Art Crawl!!!
Not even Batgirl,Teppy? Not even the next installment of Judd Winick's Batman story?
I may pickup Bruce Wayne: Murderer today because one of the lots of Nightwing I bought on ebay came with one issue of Bruce Wayne: Fugitive . . .

I haven't been reading either title, and I figure I should save up my money for next month's mega-colossal multi-title crossover.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I am about to reread The Dark Knight Returns, but when I was first trying comics as a snobby college student, I found it a lot less compelling as an argument for comics as literature than either Sandman or Watchmen, as witness the fact that I only really read more superhero comics last month. Just a datapoint.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Sweet Zombie Jebus, you *are* a pusher, aren't you?
Pimp.
You around tonight?
I'll be in your area to pick up my crack, and needs must return Pete's copy of Firestorm.

Finally! My library informs me that Cataclysm is waiting for me to pick up! I think I've been on the waiting list for at least 2 months.
It seems a little odd to be reading it *after* NML, but my library does not seem to realize that it's all about mememememe, and therefore lets other people check out whatever they want, without even thinking of whether Steph Lang might want it.
What are they thinking?

Well, I'm not even sure what value judgments/other criteria I'm applying to the word "literature," but both Sandman and Watchmen cleave much closer to in in my eyes than pretty much anything in the general superhero arena -- Dark Knight Returns is a damned impressive piece of work, but I think I need a word that's not literature, but still implies worthy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Micole, you need to read Starman.
