I really hate the House of M ignorers. It had some really brilliant twists, in my opinion. The entire Spiderman House of M had this creepy feel during all the issues. And of course, District X's complete gloss over the Mutopia mini-series makes me cringe.

Are baseline Marvel titles even in the same continuity with each other anymore? There's a completely different contradictory version of the Hulk in just about every title I skimmed yesterday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
616 is supposed to be consistent--ish. I mean, the mutants have vanished all over 616. Individual characters, like Wolverine being everywhere always--NSM.

Dammit. Now that X-MEN: 40 YEARS OF X-MEN DVD-ROM is actually out, I want to buy it from B&N. But search says nothing. I go to Amazon.com to look up the ISBN, and nothing. I check out the link to it on amazon.com that Scola gave me months ago, and it's dead.
Not that I can't get it other places, but I'm irritated I can't lump it in with the purchase I have ready to go with B&N.

Finally playing catch-up on comics (I had, umm, a large backlog in my box). Starting with Gotham Central.
1. Damn, they're going out with a bang and FINALLY connecting dots I've been wondering about for the last 20 or so issues.
and
2. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! CRIS!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!! I have to say, while this wasn't an unexpected death, it still just gutpunched me. Damn. In a fair and just world, all of Gotham Central will be available in trade once it wraps up, because I want to be able to sit down and re-read each storyline without digging through my boxes. Jesus. That was painful. Earned, too. But CRIS!!! Jesus. I keep thinking about the chain of actions and events leading to it. About Harvey and Renee and the way Gotham corrupts things. Weirdly, I keep thinking it with motion, because I swear, in my head, this is all live action.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thanks for the link, ita -- it looks very cool. (Those of you who are lazy like me and want all blogs to be available as LJ feeds, it's at [link] )

That "How to Draw the batmobile" panel is hysterical.

I'm so far behind with my comics. . . but I think that there is a new Astounishing out tomorrow.
