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!)
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.

Art Crawl!!!
It was OMAC #5 not #6. Unless OMAC is going to 7 issues.

Got Ult X-Men, Ult. Spidey and Ult. Secret #3 today.
Ult. X-Men was okay. Nothing special.
Ult. Spidey's current storyline continues to be entertaining. Also, was happy to learn the events of the Annual will start coming into play after this storyline finishes.
Ult. Secret was actually a lot of fun. I was tempted not to bother with it, but there was a lot of great dialogue in this one, so I'm glad I picked it up. Didn't realize the Ult. Fantastic Four were all teenagers, though That's kind of wierd.

I was just going by the Diamond shipping list, which said that OMAC #6 was out this week. Since my store didn't get it, I don't actually know which it was supposed to be.

The issue I bought had #6 on the cover.
