Hec and I missed out on IC#1. I wouldn't care so much, but he'd be all bouncy if we could have your extra.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's yours. Send an address to my profile address and I'll put it in the mail this weekend.
Cheapest wedding present ever. And late.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The local Newbury's had bothered to put out today's books yet when I was there tonight. Bother.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Random wondering: Is/was Louis E. Grieve somebody in particular? I mean, aside from being the namesake of a fictional high school? Neither google nor my internal brain serves up either a 'verse character or an obvious subject for a tribute (the way it would be if it were, say, Julie Schwartz HS). But doesn't sound to me like a generic made-up name, either.

Thrive to spite them
I went to "my" store after work---Batman and Catwoman were SOLD OUT. Asked about The Outsiders, was told it came out last week and they were sold out. For some reason I thought it didn't come out last week.
Buy Astonishing X Men, Superman, Wonder Woman, a back issue of BoP, and um issue 1 of some X men title I'm blanking on.
Then I go sit in the car and read Astonishing. Well, not so much read as skim through until the last few pages and the last panel killed me. DEAD. guh!
Then I went to the other store that's open after 5:30 and they didn' thave Batman or Catwoman. But I found the one War GAmes issue I am missing, but dind't buy it because I didn't have any cash on me and they don't allow debit card purchases under a certain amount.
I'm starting a file at my store so this doesn't happen again.

Yeah, that's pretty much what got me there. "Are you sold out of XYZPDQF again?" "You know, we could save that for you next time...."

Art Crawl!!!
Okay - -my store NEVER got the new Outsiders!
And hadn't any news about it either. WTF?
I picked up the two War Games comics + Astounishing + the new Flash + GL 177.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure there was no new Outsiders.
I got Catwoman (ick), Batman (yum so far), Astounishing (oh), Excalibur (it's failed the four issue test -- no more), Ultimate FF (once I get up to #12, I'll start collecting it in books. Like it, but not that much), and Ultimate Elektra (hmm).

Finally saw JLU. Very lame, but I thought it was very funny having Jason Hervey and Fred Savage voice Hawk and Dove.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
re: Astounishing -- is there any chance someone could give me a quick and dirty explanation of Colossus, and why I should have been more impacted? That last panel sure was Joss, though, wasn't it?
re: Batman -- I almost lost my shit when I saw Nightwing grabbing Tim. SA was here, and she was reading back issues of Teen Titans, and I was reading this week's titles, and we'd keep interrupting each other to point out things that we found important, or full of HoYay, or shocking. She had pretty much the same reaction that I did at the Batman panel.
