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

Maybe that's why UXM bugs be, but I like USM-- I liked Spidey anyway, and the X-men have never really been my thing.

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.

Anybody else watch Teen Titans this week? Overall, I didn't care for it. There were some good laughs, but they were overshadowed for me by the gross-out bits and the Starfire and Silkie relationship story to was just annoying.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Kalshane, I did (I'm loyal to the 'toon Teen Titans), and I wasn't crazy about the ep, either. Though I did crack up at the Sesame Street "Barkley" shoutout, and the things that Killer Moth said during that exchange.

Art Crawl!!!

Carter Hall is Hawkman?

Because I read that and went to a Tamlinn place. (Now thinking I misspelled that. Is it Tamlin? -- You know the one, with the Fairy Queen and Janet and hanging on and the shapeshifting.)

Just picked up last week's comics today -- delayed by 'flu. Saw the Bunny Suit!Anya action figure. It was adorable! And comes with a bunny!

Also, I enjoyed Astounishing. Does the next arc start next month?

The best thing about 'tec 800 was the Oracle stuff at the very end. Did Bats push Catwoman off that building?

Is there new Powers this week? Also, the Batgirl has the beginning of the Robin x-over, right?

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

Sumi, as Bruce and Selina have been having the occasional fuckfest since at least Hush (which usually goes something like this: lean in for kissing, Bruce breaks away and makes lame excuses, Selina either says something bitter or slaps him. Later, rinse, repeat with occasional actual snogging and shagging if the plot arc demands it, at which point, watch Plei try to figure out where Selina's clothing went, why the blanket's there, and why the hell they did it on the couch when they're both ubertall, watch Jilli roll her eyes at Plei) I read it as "Bruce gives into the embrace, then gives her a 'Maybe later' before swooping off to Fight Crime." with a side of "I really am not thrilled with this art."

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

Because I read that and went to a Tamlinn place. (Now thinking I misspelled that. Is it Tamlin? -- You know the one, with the Fairy Queen and Janet and hanging on and the shapeshifting.)

Tam Lin. Heh, I had the same jolt from the other side when I first heard Fairport's "Tam Lin." I think the character got his name from the song. Not directly - they just pinched it.

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

Hmm, no comments on Astounishing? I liked it, but didn't love it. I can't wait to see what comes next. And mildly intrigued that the part of Faith will be played by Emma Frost.

Also, anyone have any bets on who Emma was talking to conspiratorially ?

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

Huh. There are bets? I just assumed it was Scott.

Maybe it's YET ANOTHER Magneto clone run amok. Dude has so many doppelgangers running around, I hear Dr. Doom is about to hit him with a trademark infringement lawsuit .
