Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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

I bought a TPB of Fables, as well as #8 (it was there for list, and earlier than the TPB, so I did).

Which trade?

totally didn't see the last page coming, and damn, nice job.

Yeah. My pusher recommended it to me, saying it was the kind of cliffhanger you totally should not be allowed to have earned in your very first issue, but it still works.

What's the defining characteristic of the Wildstorm imprint?

I was wondering that myself, as I realized Ex Machina was Wildstorm, not Vertigo.

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

Which trade?

Love Stories, I think? The one that starts off with Jack and the sack and the Grim Reaper.

Ah, Storybook Love. That's the only one I have, I think.

#8 probably falls somewhere during Animal Farm.

That sounds as good a description as any. Quite confusing -- revolution, guns, talking pigs.

My initial estimation of Brian K Vaughn -- good writer, really likes the word "retard."

Thanks for the recs. I'm really enjoying those I've tried so far.

Sweet! I'm glad.

I've read the first two issues of Murderer?, the first of which I'd already read, being the Ten-Cent Adventure I got for Free Comic Book Day.

Greg Rucka is really good.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

P-C, I just re-read Murderer the other day in my quest to figure out What Makes Tim Tick.

Perhaps I will find out myself! I don't know much about Tim. Except that he was a Boy Stalker.

He's a little tightly-wound control freak who seems, at times, more Bat than Batman himself. And I love him so.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

When I looked at the New Comics Release List it said that Astounishing #7 had been moved from this week to December 22.

Annoyance! That's why they didn't have it at the comic book store yesterday.

So, something ridiculously cool happened to me, and David said he'd explode if I didn't post about it soon.

I had lunch with Neil Gaiman.
