It was seriously unfair of me, now that I think about it, because Dave McKean was drinking from the same well (down to using collages), and I never thought of him as imitation anyone.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Lady Door wasn't so trollopy looking in the book, was she?
Gah! No, no she wasn't. She's supposed to look like she went on a midnight raid through the V&A Museum's Fashion section, and then threw a brown leather jacket over it all.

"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
Sienkiewicz won me over with that first demon bear story about Dani where the art was halfway realistic, and then I was too caught up in the story to quit as his art got increasingly grotesque.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It's been ages since I read Neverwhere, but ack. That so does not fit my mental image of her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you look at the pages inside, she's got a Pam Anderson rack.
It's so wrong.

Ugh. You'd think Gaiman would have enough clout in the comic world at this point to go "What are you, stupid?" to whoever did that character design.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Also, what is up with that keyhole tattoo or whatever it is she has going on over one eye.

True, though I've also gotten the impression that Gaiman likes to give his artists as much freedom as possible to interpret the text in their own way.
We may not like it, but Neil seems to have been okay with it.

This week was light, which suckered me into X-Men Unlimited, which was unremarkable.
Firestorm was interesting -- they seem (apart from the A plot) to be getting themselves in quite a tangle.
I have some hopes about what happened in Y Last Man -- that 355 is pretty much straight, and put the glasses on to help her pretend. Maybe I'm a 355/Y shipper -- dunno.
Did anyone read the Apocalypse X Mini? Did it suck?

Was Deadshot #5 out this week? I don't really want to buy it, b/c I'd rather buy the whole shebang as a TPB, but I want to know what happens. I'm willing to go stand around the comic store at lunch and read it.
