I have a plan.

thomash, did you read both parts of Hush? Because your question is answered in book 2.

Nope, just book one I guess. Though I didn't notice the TPB saying book 1. I guess that's why I was wondering if there was more to it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You know, I remember reading Stray Toasters, and being totally absorbed in it, and waiting impatiently for the next issue to come out, but I can't remember anything about it. Just an image or two here and there. I did love it while I was reading it, though.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It's worth digging up again. What finally surprised me was that the story turned out to be a lot more conventional than it looked like it was going to be, but there were so many lovely asides, detours and tangents that the cumulative effect was amazing. Plus, I'm a big fan of Bill S's art. He wasn't a bad writer, though.

Has he been doing ANYTHING lately? After BIG NUMBERS died prematurely, the only things I remember him doing (other than occasional single panels) were MOBY DICK for the short-lived revival of Classics Illustrated and a set of Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theory trading cards. Oh, and he did a story in the Sandman Eternals hardcover, right?

eta, Delirium, natch. The bio in there says he was working on a Batman mini-series. Anything ever come of that, or is it still in the works?

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

Where can I find out which Batgirl TPBs collect which issues? I had figured they'd be sequential, but I picked one up in the store which started at around 16, and skipped a couple before it got to, I think, 24.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Particularly the issue when Evie (? - it's been ages since I could bring myself to read the series) is reading the stories from the person in the cell next door, and everything that follows. Moore already had me, but that broke me, just like the character in question.

That was an amazing story. "Valerie" - I think.

Bill Sienkiewicz does a hell of a lot, but a lot of it isn't comics these days. He does album covers, storyboards--tons of stuff.

And yeah, he did Delirium in Endless Nights.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

He (Sienkiewicz) did a story in the The Escapist #2. (I really hate his artwork.)

Did anybody pick up Escapist #3? I flipped through it, but it didn't grab me at.

You've probably already seen them, but I was just flipping through an article with her today.
