And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I haven't posted outside of the music thread in forever but I just had to make sure all the Y, Ex Machina, Runaways fans were aware of Brian Vaughan's great blog. I found it through this announcement that Michael Chabon asked him to contribute to The Escapist anthology. I stopped reading the Escapist after the first volume, but I will have to pick it back up now.

Also? Vaughan thinks that Spike is dreamy. (Scroll down until you see the Peroxided One's pic.)

Also any Powers fans read the Bendis/Quesada Q and A in back of issue 10? Quesada's telling of the kismet that resulted in Joss writing Astounishing is a good story and falls in the middle of the VERY long interview.

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

Quick tech question -- what would mac users recommend as the best CBZ reader?

ita, FFView, by FeedFace. I've tried Jomic on my Mac, but FFView works MUCH better.

EDIT: That link seems to be to ver. 0.8.5, which sounds buggy. I'm running 0.8.2 on my Mac (which is OS 10.3.9) with no problems at all. If 0.8.5 is buggy for you, try to find 0.8.2, or I can yousendit to you.

Edit again: and here it is -- FFView 0.8.2, should you need it.

Excellent. You got me just before I installed Jomic. Thanks!

Jomic is fine, and it might work well for you and prove me wrong. It ran just fine for me and then one day decided to act bratty. I have no idea what the issue was.

I flipped a little through Batman/Superman (or is it Superman/Batman) and was going to come here to ask about the apparent Babs in costume, but it's been a little bit explained in scans_daily. So my other continuity question is about Ultimate Secret. Given what's happening in Ultimates 2, why is Thor escorting the Fantastic Four? With so few titles, I'm kinda disappointed they don't have tighter reins on the timelines. Thor's been non grata for a while, hasn't he?

Does anyone know when the next ASTOUNISHING is out? I tried to check on it last week, but couldn't find a date at the couple of sites I checked.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

ita, there is an note earlier in the issue that states the events of the series take place before Ultimates #2

Wasn't he non grata at the end of Ultimates #1, though? I thought he'd left the group.

What's the conventional Dr. Doom origin story? In the Ultimate universe and the upcoming movie, he gets his powers in the same event as the FF. But my memory of the original doesn't bear that out.
