I just ordered X-Men checks. Alas, there is no Magneto-scene check.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

I had a small pull list this week:
Detective #804 continues the excellent, but very bleak, Lapham run. I wish the editors could have coordinated stories better, as Dr. Freeze is appearing in too many titles.
Justice League Elite #9 was pretty effective, with interexting bits for Green Arrow and Batgirl. I'm still confused by some of the action in the story, though.
Lex Luther: Man of Steel #1 was a solid effort. I like the take from Lex's point of view, but I am uncertain exactly where this fits in continuity. (They mention the Science Spire, which is being built in The Question, but don't mention anything about the Presidency or exile, so I'm guessing this is set in the short past).
Deadshot #4 is enjoyable, if a bit predictable, but I'm only picking it up for the Green Arrow appeances anyway, but I'm glad it's not disappointing.
No Marvel this week for me, although my shop tried to get me to purchase Ultimate Iron Man.
Did anybody pick up Seven Soldiers of Victory #0? It looks like we're in for a wild ride.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Iron Man 's gone Ultimate now? Huh. Is he basically the Tony Stark from The Ultimates ?

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

It's fun. Grant Morrison weirdness, re-imagined old heroes and a giant spider. All in all, a surprisingly gripping and moving story.

Freeeeaaaky. Did you people know that the new Dr. Strange action figure is being modeled on Goth funny man & musician Voltaire? Pete just sent me the link to the story: [link]

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
That's . . . . odd.

Dr. Strange is popular enough to merit an action figure? I thought I was one of about twelve people buying his titles all thise years...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
There are twelve of you?
The only Strange title I ever bought regularly was Defenders, mostly because it was fun to see the hoops they needed to jump through so they could get Strange, Submariner, and the Hulk in the same room every issue

Dr. Strange is a much loved character, but in that "gee, I love Dr. Strange when he appears in other people's books" sort of way.

Neilalien is the blog you want to go to if you are a Dr. Strange fan - the site also has decent comics commentary in general. I've been picking up the JMS-penned Strange revamp, and am mightily disappointed.
