What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Rogue looks limited too.

I don't think so.

"GOING ROGUE" PART 4 (OF 6)

That says to me it's part 4 of the first arc, not a limited series. I believe you're right about Starjammers, though. I didn't catch a definite statement, but it has a "Part" label with no title for an arc.

I believe Rogue has been solicited as a mini-series. As for the other titles, Marvel has been kind of coy lately about titles, often introducing them with the implication that they will be ongoing, but when sales figures come in, making adjustments to the lower-selling ones and calling them a mini-series. Or the title may be part of their non-direct-market marketing plan, and a mini-series may be exteneded to an ongoing for no visible reason (this has happened with the Thor, Son of Asgard title). Emma Frost is an ongoing, but appears to be headed for cancellation. Marvel has been in the habit lately of not annoucning the cancellations, just not soliciting them after an easily-collectible stopping point.

Have any of these characters (Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Starjammers) had their own titles/miniseries in the past? Mystique and Emma, was this the first time they'd been launched? I've never really thought about comics being launched and cancelled like TV shows, really. Mostly because I've generally read the successful ones. The only anomaly was Alias, which turned into The Pulse. And Daredevil, I really began with Volume II, #1.

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.

Rogue and Gambit have both had mini-series in the past. I don't know about the rest.

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

The Starjammers have had a couple minis before. Jubilee, I think, is a first. I have vague notions that there may once have been a Mystique miniseries before, but I may just be thinking of old X-Factor stories.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Still no Outsiders on the New Comics Release List! Are we never to see a new Outsiders again?

For some reason, I think I read somewhere that it's due next week.

And thanks to SA supplying me with Outsiders CRACK, I have read all the current issues, and I'm dying for the next one. I *love* the writing in it -- possibly more than TT, which is saying a lot, because TT is my fave right now.

It's to balance out the Powers fans who got two in one month. Comic karma.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Plei will be dying any moment now.

Or, you know, a week later, when I get back to the country.

Delayed dying over here!

Oh, and Plei what about the sequence in Bats where (whitefont)

I thought I heard the sound of a thousand slashers, giggling, and deciding how best to frame their icons.

Gulacy has been quoted that he "knows what the fans want" and will draw the title the he has been, regardless of the way the title was before.

He can suck my dick. I mean, I can deal with the cheesecake (Benes, I'm looking at you) if it's at least well done, but ugly cheesecake? Fuck that. Someone needs to slap that boy.

I'm not sure what sort of crack, but it's a bit like their offices were hijacked by ficcers. On crack.

Lots of crack. I watched the last two episodes last night. I blinked a lot. And perhaps giggled.

Re: whatever the number of the most recent GL was... Dear Marz. Please stop. I know, there's just one more issue, but please, please stop. Stop. Stop. In fact, please stop writing. What's next for you? An excuse to shove a woman in a dishwasher? Renaming Major Force Major Appliance? Dude, you have no magic in your heart. Also, the art sucked.

Heh. When I read that scene, I had SA on the couch next to me, and I went OMG!squee! and showed her the sequence and said "That is SO going to be the base of a gazillion LJ icons tomorrow."
