And Tara.
Well, not to offer plot bunnies or anything, but did anyone ever posit that the reason the First didn't take Tara's form was that maybe, somehow, she wasn't really dead?
I mean, beyond Amber Benson's meta issues?
IJS.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
That's awesome!

Art Crawl!!!
The OMAC Project was sold out at my comics shop. Luckily I had asked them to pull if for me. And even more lucky because I really enjoyed it. I had forgotten that Sasha! would very likely be in it and she was.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So does the OMAC Project have anything to do with the old Jack Kirby Omac comic?

I don't know. It's a spin-off from the "Countdown to Identity Crisis" comic that came out. . . was that last month?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Crap. I don't think I told Cute!Comics Guy to pull OMAC for me. I hope it isn't sold out.

Nice. I *did* tell Cute!Comics Guy to pull OMAC for me. Now to read it.
He saw my car as I pulled up, and asked if it was an Echo. Turns out he drives the exact same car, same year, in red.
Yes. I definitely have a crush.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Interesting article. You don't see the mainstream press dealing with the superhero genre much unless there's a stunt death, or the comic is "radically reinventing the genre."
But the side effect of metacomics’ rise is that they’ve become the province of "super-readers," those who are so conversant in the minutiae of genre conventions and comics lore that it’s possible to make allusions to those minutiae the whole point of a story.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Well, it's by Douglas Wolk, who, incidentally, is all over Jandek On Corwood.
