Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Art Crawl!!!

I got the Mal cover. Next time. . . Kaylee, Zoe or Book? Hmmmm.

I also picked up Angel The Curse #2. My comics guy thinks that it's not that Angel is coming out every two weeks but that #1 was just THAT late.

Also, picked up Rann-Thanagar #3, Bats, Nightwing, Batman Allies, Green Arrow, JLA, Wonder Woman and Action Comics. (I'm pathetic.)

I looked at that Batman/Robin thing . . . didn't look good.

Kalshane, my comics guy said that there would be more Serenity #1 next week. (They were sold out of Inara when I got there. . . but that was the one I didn't want.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I got the Mal cover.

I got a rock. Well, Inara. It was all they had left.

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.

Thanks, sumi. I'm going to swing by a bigger comics shop about 20 minutes up the road after work tomorrow and see if they have any, but my local shop did say they were re-ordering.

ETA: There are also apparently several Browncoats in my rinky-dink town who I was unaware of, considering.

Okay, so I was trying to find pictures to show someone Wonder Woman's various incarnations and I found this picture, which is just wrong on so many levels. [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

There's a long history of Wonder Woman getting tied up and then menaced by phallic-shaped objects: [link]

And also: [link]

My favorite part of this one is the (evil) cat unlacing WW's shoe: [link]

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Actually, I'm hearing that Serenity is selling out all over the place. My Comic Book Guy didn't even have enough for everyone's hold list - I'm lucky my name is near the front of the alphabet.

move out and draw fire

Interrupting you people and your Serenity-havingness for a moment with a thought problem...I received an email today which asked "What would've happened if Superman really existed?" IF:

1) Superman were a real person
2) The comic book lore about him is ture
3) it's the early 1960's

My scenario is this, if American history were to as it is through 1962, and then Superman were to make his presence known in that same year, how would that, in your opinion, affect the cold war? Also, how would that affect the relationship between America and Asia, in regard to the resently ended Korean War? Do you think Kennedy would still be assassinated?

My initial answer was that at least we'd never have had the travesty of SuperDog and SuperCat, but on a more serious note, would superhero comics have evolved? Would Supes have become a tool of the USG, or assassinated by them?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"What would've happened if Superman really existed?"

It's one of the principal themes of the Watchmen.

would superhero comics have evolved?

Pirate comics!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The third WW comic was by underground comic artist Trina Robbins. (DC let her write a few issues of WW while they were working on her post-Crisis reboot). She specifically set out to write a golden-age WW story, and deliberately played up the bondage aspects of the character.

Trina has written extensively women in comics, BTW.
