Whee. Got my copy of Astounishing and snagged the last issue of Serenity they had (Jayne cover).
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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.
Astonishing was pretty good.
The latest issue of Ult. Spidey rocked like a rocking thing, though. I think Bendis realized there was a serious snark-shortage in the previous arc and decided to make up for lost time.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Things what rocked, this week: JSA Classified #1. Adventures of Superman (though it took way damn long to get to the meat of the matter with this Sacrifice arc). Teen Titans. Birds of Prey. Manhunter.
Umm. I'll get back to y'all when I'm done with the stack, but this is shaping up to be a week that kicked all kinds of ass.

So, Astounishing.
Are the hints about Xavier not being on the up-and-up and not a nice person something from recent canon, or is this something new that Joss is cooking up? And is it possible that the unknown entity who Emma was talking to conspiratorily a few issues back might be Dr. X?

Art Crawl!!!
I forgot to pick up Manhunter!
I enjoyed BoP alot.
I enjoyed AX too but I'm afraid I don't know enough of X-Men history to get it the way everyone else here does.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm afraid I don't know enough of X-Men history to get it the way everyone else here does.
Substitute any number of titles for X-Men, and that explains my hesitation to get back into comics (I stopped following them in the early 90s)

That's why, aside from Astonishing, I stick with a handful of Ultimate-verse titles, since you don't have to know 50 years of backstory spread across eleventy-million titles.
How many X-books are there now? I know there used to be more, but there's still a lot of them on the new releases rack at the comic store every week.
