Mmm. The fourth issue of Serenity Rose was sure good.
I'm very happy to be back in a place with a good comic store. I'll be able to read this thread again!
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Hey. New board.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I finnaly got to read the new Astounishing, and I absolutely *loved* the panel where Logan, Hank and Emma first see Colossus. Oh man. The looks on their faces were priceless. The bit back at the school, with the kid who was "cured" was pretty moving, as was Peter and kitty's conversation. The whole thing felt very Jossy, moreso even than earlier issues. I think it was something about the timing on the jokes, combined with the angst.

What Holli said on Astounishing.
How long is Joss' run? Why am I seriously worried that he's been given orders to leave it hanging to keep people buying the title?

Art Crawl!!!
I think it's 12 issues.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want more than 12 issues! Damn him, what else is he going to do?

Cool, 'cause there was a thing on the letters page about "Concluding Issue 6" or some such.
Am I right that it's a new title that will go on after his run?

Maybe this arc is concluding in Issue #6 and a new one is starting in #7.
I don't know if this title is continuing after this.

Hey. New board.
There's definitely a trade coming out with the first six issues, right? Seems likely that they'll make it arcy then do something new for the last six. That's how the Ultimates work - arcs for 5-6 issues, and a trade for each arc.

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.
Well, I'm sure if the sales are good and Joss wants to keep doing it, Marvel will sign him on for more issues.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
The most surprising thing about the return of Colossus is that no one saw it coming from Joss. He's said before that Peter was one of his least favorite characters. Not that I'm complaining, mind, just surprised. I figured that Joss of all people would let that particular plot thread be.
