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.

I think I'm going to request Zoe for #2 and Wash for #3. That is, if my comic book guy will let me.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I'm getting all variant covers. Because I'm a geek.

Geek on! I was lucky enough to pick up all three covers, as well. Hell, I'm geeky enought that I even contemplated picking up all of the Angel covers, but the ugliness of the John Byrne cover dissuaded me. I've decided to just stick with the David Messina covers, since that was the only one I could get last issue.

I finally got a copy of issue 1 of Neverwhere.
Um. No.
That is not how Door is supposed to look. That is not how the Marquis de Carabas is supposed to look. That is not how the Great Beast of London is supposed to look. And the writing ... the sections that are directly lifted from Neverwhere the book are good, no surprise. Mike Carey tries really hard to live up to that, and fails. His dialog doesn't ring true for the characters. I fear how this series is going to represent Hunter.
I know that Neil Gaiman is "overseeing the project as consultant", according to the DC/Vertigo website, but that isn't enough to convince me to buy the other issues.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I felt the same way about it. Not buying the rest of it either.

Pete was vastly amused by observing my various cranky and indignant outbursts while reading it last night.
I did like The Dead Boy Detectives by Jill Thompson, no surprise there. It was cute. Fluffy, kinda silly, but charming.
