SA -- if I were to send a large envelope to you in Wales (say, the size of a comic book), would it get to you? I was unsure from your LJ entry whether packages have to be sent to your Berea address, and if so, whether an 8.5 x 11 envelope counts as a package.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
There's a lot I don't know about the continuity of the Books of Magic, and so I'm probably not getting a lot what I'm reading, but I do really like the artwork and the questions it raises.
Life During Wartime is outside of the continuity of other Tim Hunter bboks, unless they pull something nifty out of thir hat. So, really, you don't need to know anything.

Yes it would! I just figured people would rather send it cheaper. But my parents and BF's have been sending me parcels, so it's all good.

No, I know. I just think they're making reference to certain Major Plot Points that I'm missing, stuff other people who'd read BoM would have picked up.

Not really. For the most part, the only characters that are shared are Tim (wildly different) Molly (doesn't even look the same!) Constantine (Who, really, aside from the being the big Mr. in Charge, is pretty much the same as he always is) and Zatanna (Who should not be blonde.)
I see no reference to earlier plotlines.

Well, that makes me feel rather better. When I read it, it certainly seems like I'm going in blind.
What do you think of it thus far?

It's OK. Think it's dragging out a bit too much. Want some action.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I have the same complaint about Ex Machina.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey! Things blew up! That was action!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read an LJ entry that said that DC was using the deaths of Digger and Drake Sr. as smokescreens for their pervasive misogyny.
At least I think that's what they said.
Those folk who thought IC was refrigerator stuffing -- does that opinion still hold?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think the targeting of Drake mitigated that somewhat, though the choice of leading off with Sue's death, then her earlier victimization, then Jean Loring's attempted murder before having any male victims put them in an uncomfortable position.
