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.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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.

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.

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

I'm pretty sure I saw it in the new section.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
ita, re: Y, that's how I saw it.

"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
Kind of ironic though, given that 355 is better positioned to be a straight woman who gets the kind of sex she would prefer than anyone else on the planet .

I'd imagine she has some issues to do with Y and protecting him, and, really, shagging the last guy on the planet who's worked out where to put his weenie. And he's apparently in love with someone else.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Have we seen these before? 'Motivational' posters, with comics characters on them. I think I need the one with the Joker ...
