Got the new Runaways, Ultimate Iron Man (for the stunt-writing), and finally broke down and bought Ex Machina. Have yet to read any of them.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You'll love Ex Machina. It rocks.
Yeah, I was curious about Ultimate Iron Man. I didn't know Orson Scott Card was writing it.

The 1st issue of UIM was pretty good. Anytime you have a whole issue of something that doesn't even have the title character in it (it focuses on his parents) it's either really interesting or just blah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Let me finish that sentence for you, Shayera, honey: "...shave your legs."

Went to my local comic book store tonight and played tons of poker with Bill Willingham. Lost horribly. He seems a touch peeved that Joss is nominated for so many Eisners, but said, "If it were any other Hollywood bigshot coming and and doing it, I'd be really pissed, but he's such a good writer, I just can't be." Really nice guy.

Wow, my impression of him from every other fan account, letters column, and interview I've ever heard or read was that he's such a raging asshole that he's lucky not to have been pushed in front of a bus by now. You must have caught him on a really good day.

Really? Huh. No, he was an absolute sweetheart. Kind of a sarcastic bastard, but then, so am I.

Maybe the hate mail and dropping sales on Robin are chipping away the ego...
When you'd rather see Chuck Austen on a title, you know it's gone horribly wrong.
My biggest issue with Willinghamfucktard is his complete lack of respect for the genre in which he's now writing. He's just not fanboy enough for the job.
Quasi-related (at least, the thought train went RIGHT there), Matt, have you seen the picture of Anderson Gabrych shirtless with a Batlogo across his chest from the '04 Prism LGBT comics guide? If not, you want I should scan it in for you?

I myself would have trouble respecting any genre whose readers appended "fucktard" to my name.

If I only had a brain...
Ah. Do you judge all genres by their readers?
