You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

What are your five desert island comics?

Mine are:

  • Love and Rockets
  • Hicksville, by Dylan Horrocks
  • Bone, by Jeff Smith
  • The Cartoon History of the Universe, by Larry Gonick
  • The Complete Peanuts, by Schulz

(a very close runner-up is Why I Hate Saturn, by Kyle Baker

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Nice to see some love for Zot.

I'm just going to go with my most pleasurable comic reading experiences.

1. Love & Rockets
2. Swamp Thing (Moore run)
3. The Invisibles
4. Nexus
5. Hmmmm. Feels like I should toss in something mainstream superheroish here to at least honor my early enthusiasms. Could be the Claremont X-Men. Could be the Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams Batman. But I think I'll opt for Walt Simonson's run on Thor. That was fun, and it looked great too. Beta Ray Bill!

Honorable Mention: Zot, Mister Miracle (I liked all of Kirby's 4th World stories, but Scott Free's escape from Apokolips fired up my 10 y.o. imagination), American Flagg, Miller's Daredevil, Eightball, Hate, Jim Woodring, Pogo, Krazy Kat.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

  • Sandman
  • Starman
  • JSA
  • Spider-Woman V1
  • Batgirl: Year One

On account of I believe in being entertained while I'm on my desert island, and not depressed, I have left off several worthy classics.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Only one bat-title for Ple! Well, at least Spider-Woman retains her hold over Ple's imagination.

See: entertained, not depressed. Also, everything I put up there save JSA involves a fairly complete story arc, even if the characters do pop up again from time to time, so I wouldn't be wishing I had that issue where it crossed over with X and then zipped into Y for a while.

Actually, I may go ahead and swap Young Justice for JSA. It's a coin toss, which I tried to type toin coss, as they're the two books that have made me WEEP LIKE A GIRLY MAN.

Shreddies:

I'm out of Spider-Woman. The re-read is complete. Now I'm cursing and needing to track down various Avengers and Wolverine issues, as well as Alias 19-21.

And then? Then there shall be fic.

Oh yes.

Because Jessica needs love from someone other than Bendis. Also, because Bendis claims that he has no intention of Lindsay showing up, and I need more Lindsay.

Vague spoiler of the "probably only Victor and I care" sort up there. And I could be projecting about Victor.

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

I liked all of Kirby's 4th World stories, but Scott Free's escape from Apokolips fired up my 10 y.o. imagination

For me it was "The Pact" (I think) which was the story of how Scott wound up on Apokolips (and Orion wound up on New Genesis) in the first place.

So I'll throw that one out there:

  • New Gods
  • Legion of Super Heroes v3
  • Powers
  • The Complete Peanuts, by Schulz
  • the complete Bloom County

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmmm. This is mostly a list of what I'd like to curl up and read from end to end now...but I think they'd be okay on a desert island too

  • Sandman
  • Uncanny X-Men
  • Batgirl
  • Hellblazer
  • Books of Magic

Joss Astounishing for another year.

Legion of Super Heroes v3

That's the Giffen run?

Don't worry. You'll always be butch to me.
