I'm so glad all the talk was the DC sols, so I can laugh and laugh and laugh instead of being sad that traffic prevented my comics-getting.

I have a new favorite superhero: Sprocket Man!!!
Was anyone, at the end of Ex Machina, reminded of Giles about to be decapitated?
UXM was pretty good, and Nightcrawler and Colossus are totally gay.
Ultimates was here and there. I wasn't paying attention for about half the issue, but then things started happening at the end. Or something. Losing interest.
Dude, what Nightcrawler is is totally clueless. Not only is he completely in the dark about Colossus, he doesn't get that being a carny with blue fur and a tail might move him out of first place in line for teenage girls to wibble over .
I wibble.
You're not a teenage girl.
I was when I started.
Everybody must go out and get Adventures of Superman #638 - you don't even have to be hooked into current Superman continuity to understand the story. All of Rucka's Mr. Mxyzptlk appearances have been wild, but this takes the cake. There are riffs on Frank Miller, Bruce Timm, and Calvin and Hobbes in the story. Thouroughly enjoyable, and criminally under-reviewed.

I've found most of the Mxyzptlk stuff to be uneven (okay, fine, I have Mxyzptlk issues), but I do have to second this. Rucka did good.
Comics Continuum has the four covers for the second book in the IDW mini up.
