Buffistas

You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

DC solicitations are up for October, and there is a guest star in Outsiders that I can't believe

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

From Metafilter:

Holy Shit.

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?

Superman: The Man of Steel, by John Byrne.

Is it good?

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.

Hmmm. I lent Red Son to a co-worker, and he came out of it wanting to know more about Superman (like where he's from, etc) -- it was totally a Batman story to me, so I'm at a loss.

So I'm looking for a Superman: Year One that's actually good, and that way I'll buy it and lend it to him. I currently have no little resentment towards Byrne. I'll flip through it in a bookstore and see.

Thanks!
