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

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.

"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

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 .

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

I wibble.

You're not a teenage girl.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So comiclist has this listed:

Ed The Happy Clown #1 (Of 9), $2.95

I'm assuming it's a reprint. I would really like to recommend this to anyone who hasn't read it, but I can't. I'm also afraid that if I warned people about the pages and pages of scatology and the talking penis that looks like Ronald Reagan that people would be turned off completely, but they shouldn't be, because it's really, really good. It's a classic.

Also this week is Filler Bunny #3, which is the first new comic from Jhonen Vasquez in several years. Also very, very gross.
