Buffistas

I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

"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

I've always liked Cyclops, even though the rod up his ass has a rod up its ass. He reminds me of Season 3 Wesley; the guy was never popular, so he decided not to look for popularity and insist on being right instead. And really, the only reason Cyclops started getting written as a prick in the first place was because Wolverine came on the scene and they wanted to contrast the two.

And I'll say this about Wolverine: I think he's one of the most fun and interesting characters the Marvel Universe ever put out, but I am really, really, really sick of seeing him in every title every gorram month. It's getting pathetic.

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

I always thought Cyclops started out boring, and became a prick. So it's better than what he was. I like not liking him.

There is a great deal of Wolverine, all over the place. And not usefully used much of the time.

Still, half-assed Wolverine is better than Birdboy at his ... is best the right word?

Art Crawl!!!

My reaction it IC #6 is much the same as Victor's.

And did Batman just arrive at the same conclusion as the ME, despite not seeing teeny tiny footprints in anyone's brain? And isn't that concept -- - the death by teeny tiny footprints -- way squicky?

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

Retcon? We're probably the only two people in this room that know that word, and I'm going to pretend I don't. You're on your own.

Heh heh. Yeah....

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

One bit of trivia I noticed for IC #6. The news reporter covering the Drake murder is named Teri Phyllis, which is a combination of the first names of two of the actresses who've played Lois Lane over the years.

Hey. New board.

I liked Astounishing 6, now that I finally read it. That's really all I have to say.

I also wanna know who the hell Emma was talking to.

So I just read IC#6, Nightwing #99, and Green Arrow #44, and my brain is basically running around, bumping into walls, and going, "Eeee!"

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

I've read just IC#6 so far, and my brain is going MEEP real loud.

Art Crawl!!!

I hated the artwork in Nightwing this month.

I suppose we're getting the same artists next month?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I hated the Nightwing art, too, as well as whoever drew Timmay in IC.

In NW, I loved Alfred's "Richard John Grayson! Get back into bed this instant!"

I have to think about IC for a while before I can formulate my thoughts.
