Moses, Solomon, Samson, and Esther, and "of course" they would be brought together under the sign of the *cross*?
Oy.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Yeah, I know. My friend is Jewish, and actually thought it was funny.

As for Powers, I picked up Who Killed Retro Girl? and proceeded to mainline everything Powers immediately thereafter. Which leads me to:
ita, ask shrift about the crack that is Ultimate Spidey.
Brian Michael Bendis. Curse him. He is now on my list of writers for whom I eventually will pick up anything with his name on it.
I picked up Batman and Catwoman: Trail of the Gun Part 1 last Wednesday. I wasn't terribly impressed. Actually, I was bored until Batman showed up, and that wasn't until the very end. It felt clunky with exposition.

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

Does that mean you'll be reading "Avengers," because I just picked up #500, the beginning of his "Avengers Disassembled" and, uhm, wow.
And I'm not sure that's a good "wow." Although I'm hooked.

Damn you, wee Victor, I had no idea he was writing "Avengers" until just now!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, no comments on the 'toon Teen Titans? Visually, it was the wittiest one after Mad Mod, IMO. Plus, I'm assuming that's the closest confirmation we're going to get that this Robin is Dick Grayson, because I don't think they'll state it flat-out.
And I just loved Raven grooving on the dark version of the city.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And I just loved Raven
"Cool! Uh...I mean, oops."
I enjoyed it. I chatted with Ple about the Dick factor. It was good - Emmett's watched it about five times now.
I just bought Who Killed Retro Girl tonight after we watched Harry Potter on IMAX. (I can't believe I missed the chance to see Crouching Tiger there on IMAX. That would've kicked ass.)

Uh-huh. I think #500 was his first issue and, uhm, there's a body count.

So was I. I'm always Cyclops on these things.
Which is odd since Scott Summers is the mutant least likely to write poetry, I would think.

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

Least likely to write good poetry, I think. I wouldn't be too surprised to learn he has crappy angsty love verses tucked away somewhere.
