Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

I am thoroughly enjoying Bendis' Avengers run, but it may because this is the first Avengers title I've read, so I have no history with the characters. But so far, it's pure Bendis. Great humor and lots of "holy shot" moments.

Ah, yes. In that case, it probably doesn't matter that they don't actually resemble any of the characters that are supposed to be in the book.

That, and the frickin' "Magic space Aliens" appearing from nowhere and killing an awesome character for no good reason--Hawkeye--is the stupidest thing I've ever read in a comic book. And I'm including the stories where red kryptonite turned Superman into a mutant ape, and Lana Lang was transfomed into a half-bee superheroine.

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

Now wait a minute. Insect Queen was a perfectly cromulent character. Not red K, either. It was a magic ring.

Ah. I stand corrected, DXM. But either way, I like her more than what Bendis did to Avengers.

Truth to tell, I've had dental surgery I've liked more than what he's done to Avengers.

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

Looks like I'm getting Uncanny, Astounishing and not a damned thing else. I have flipped through Jubilee, and it looks not bad. Not compelling, but not bad.

I'm tempted to pick up 'Tec #800 to see the immediate aftermathiness of War Games. Haven't decided yet.

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.

AXM and USM for me today.

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

I'm willing to get my news about the end of War Games second hand. What with my disgruntledness and all.

So, y'all gotta share.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Finally read IC #5.

I... I... TIMMY. NOOOOO.

Holli, did you read TT #17 yet?
