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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My used trade score today? Two Fables trades, Animal Farm and Storybook Love. And now, they have NML 2-5. Still missing #1. If it does show up there, it's going to be hard to resist picking them all up and buying. Hell, I almost did it now. I don't even have very much idea what it's about or why it's so great. Also, they had Officer Down. Is that one good?
I did some issue-reading. Seaguy is fucking ridiculous. It's relentlessly weird. It's generally enjoyable, but I feel like I'm missing the point. Unless Grant Morrison just feels like having fun.
Sleeper went over my head. I don't know who any of the characters are or what's going on or why it's going on or anything.
Ex Machina is very cool. I'll be following it.

Art Crawl!!!
I need to read Officer Down -- I'm guessing that it is a post-NML story.

It is.
Post-NML, that is. And yes, you do. I'm not a fan of a lot of the art in it, which is a shame, because I like the writing.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this is weird. What is the Platonic TPB for Superman? What's the Superman: Year One?

It's OK. It's John Byrne, and not even Byrne at his best.
His wanks about how Supes powers work are annoying, but his Lex Luthor is more Platonic than his Superman is.
