So is v3 the Cockrum era? Seems like that would be v2.

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

Actually, I probably shoulda said v2 and v3. v2 was Cockrum and Grell. v3 is Levitz. Giffen did do some of the penciling in v3, but he started plotting in v4.
How many resets has LSH had by now?
The current run is v7, I think. There were complete resets for v4, v5, and v7. Every time some editor gets a hair across his ass, he decides to wipe out the 30th (or 31st) century.
Also, does anyone else here follow "Fables?"
I do. I like it quite a bit.

Have you read the most recent one? I was quite impressed by the reveal of the Big Bad. Not only was the BB not who I expected but the way the Big Bad went bad in the first place was very original, I thought.
Also, I gasped out loud when I saw what happened to the Blue Fairy.

Just finished Astro City: Confessions. I know I'm like 7 years behind, but damn was that a good book. And the stand-alone Hangman story made me tear up.

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

What other Astro Cities have you read? Confessions was indeed astonishing, but I believe it pales compared to Tattered Angel.

Life in the Big City, I believe it was. Yeah, AC is one of the best things out there. Next up for you is Family Album, which is beautiful . . . . Hell, they're all beautiful. And Busiek is finally well enough to work on it again, so there's a new series coming out now.
Life is gooooood.

Anne, I picked up Fables #40, and agree pretty much with everything you said. I figured out Gepetto was the puppetmaster several issues ago. I mean, who else could it be? Now I'm wondering whether Boy Blue has another secret word that will release something else from the cloak, say, oh, I don't know, Bigby Wolf?

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.
Okay, still really not liking the Ult. X-Men art. What the hell is up with Xavier's head in the conference room scene? Plus, all of Emma Frost's students look identical. Ugh. Though, we finally get Ultimate! Mystique which is cool.
Aboslutely loved the Ult. Spidey annual. Though I'm willing to admit alot of it's because I've been a big Peter Parker/Kitty shipper since the first crossover. And I'm not normally a big shipper of anyone. But the story as a whole is a lot of fun and Bendis has managed to make Rhino actually cool.
