Damn Gaiman fanboys are probably all busy doing their eyeliner for an Anansi Boys signing or something.
Neil told 'em to vote for Moore. Amazingly obedient ....
(I'm expecting and dreading the Miller outcome.)
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I admit that I chose Neil, though Alan's better. Neil needed the vote more.
Well, you know, in my HEAD he needed the vote more.

For this round, or for the whole deal?
I kept expecting someone to knock him out earlier, but that was wishful thinking.
Miller's like the Chris Carter of comic book writers in my world view: started with good and seemingly novel concepts that shook things up, but hamstrung by hubris and a belief in his own hype.

For the whole deal, sadly. Although I'd dearly love to see Bendis take him in this round.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I voted for Bendis, for the reasons Plei gave in her description of Miller.
I'm looking to the future, not the past. (Yes, I voted for Moore over Gaiman. Yes, I can see where that contradicts the whole future/past thing. Hush up!)

Eh, it doesn't really. They're both kind of past, but Moore's more active in comics than Gaiman.

Be glad you didn't read any further into the Village Voice review. From the second paragraph:
Gaiman's had too much success to think in any terms other than those that have earned him subliterate demigod-hood
Um. I think I'm officially pissed off at being called subliterate. I think I also have a bunch of rather advanced books on my bookshelf, right next to my Gaiman comics, that prove otherwise.

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.
DX- Ah. Doesn't make logical sense to me, but then again, we're talking about people who do or don't have super powers based on what color a star is so I guess if it's true to the comics I just have to accept it if not like it.

Um. I think I'm officially pissed off at being called subliterate.
I read that as Gaiman's works are subliterate, not the people who read them. But it's insulting either way.

My comic store had no Marvel titles delivered today and no DC titles except one -- JLA #119. Cute comic-book guy is PISSED (understandably) at his vendor/distributor/whoever.
Only OMAC #6 was on my pull list for today, but -- I needed to find out what happened! I mean, I can figure out the broad strokes of what must have happened, but -- I need to read it!
I don't have JLA on my pull list, but I bought #119 anyway. Partly to make cute comic-book guy feel better, and partly b/c I wanted to read *something* new, and partly b/c I had heard that this issue was GOOD as well as important in the upcoming Crisis.
Yes indeed, it is GOOD. Oh yes.
Still need OMAC, though, damn it. Hopefully the missing comics will get delivered tomorrow.
