I think BoP hasn't quite caught up with OMAC, as IIRC Babs was still looking for Ted last issue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was precisely then, Steph. The close up shot on the tears in her eyes really sold it for me.
I thought this week's House of M was a bit annoying. I'm guessing we're in something to do with her head, or the realities she's creating, but I don't want to spend a lot of time there, because it feels a bit like an exercise in wankery.
I flipped through Neverwhere. The art is pretty much the only reason I'd get it, since I have the book. It's not the right art. Maybe in trade.

I'm very skeptical about anything that Wanda could do, even in desperation, erasing Stephen Strange's identity and building a false one that he would buy (ditto for Professor X if he shows up in the same manner). He's the one who saw through all her delusional reality twisting before, and made her see through it with the Eye of Agamotto. If this isn't explained as her actually retroactively changing the timestream itself I'm going to be very peeved .

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
From The NYT: Collectables aren't a good investment.
Are collectibles a sound financial investment? If the past is any guide, the answer is no. Historically, collectibles have yielded a much lower return than stocks and carried more risk.

ATTN DavidS:
Thanks, Tom! I missed it, of course. (Another baseball night for Emmett.) And that's my local bookstore where I did my first reading too. To be honest, my one meeting with Clowes was so good and weridly random it would be hard to top it with a reading.

Manhunter, Batman, Action Comics, Batgirl, BoP, Gotham Central, and Wonder Woman, for starters.
Firestorm was, but I don't have enough data on the new writer.

I'm just waiting for DC to run out of event crossover ideas and have Midlife Crisis, in which the heroes become concerned when Batman trades in the Batmobile for a red convertible and starts wearing lots of tacky gold jewelry. (Hey, he already has the age-inappropriate girlfriend...)

Art Crawl!!!
Ple - post NML. Is it Evolution and Officer Down but then nothing else? Or does it go from Officer Down to the Murderer/Fugitive series?
