Scans daily has posted the Callisto/Storm duel. God I love that, both narratively and artistically.
Some strange stuff happens with Storm's face, but the body language is beautiful throughout the fight.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

That was Paul Smith? I loved his art on the book. One of my favorite runs on X-men. How cool is Ororo's knife-snatch out of the air?

I love the panel where Storm has trapped Callisto's arm up in the air and is about to stab her. It looks so loose, and in the middle of motion.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ooof. New comics today. Infinite Crisis #6 and Teen Titans #34 -- I only have 2 things to say:
(1) Superboy: He Saved the World a Lot. And also, OUCH. D.C. freaking *Mineared* Kon!
(2) Dude, Tim is a sick and twisted freakboy. I love him so. The last page of TT #34 made me laugh and laugh and laugh some more.

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.
Why oh why did I read the whitefont? I am a moron.
I guess I just answered my own question.

So, Steph... was it a good (earned) death for my poor, sweet, brave dork of a boy?
I've been afraid to read, being all chickenshit since I got spoiled for it, and not wanting to burst into tears on the bus like I did when Renee was coping with Cris's death. (Oh, CRIS!) BesidesifIdon'treadhe'snotevenpiningforthefjords, right?

Plei, I was traumatized when I got spoiled for it. I mean, DAMN -- the moment I started to *really* love Kon (and that was many issues back), I should have known that he was toast.
Anyway -- it was a death worthy of Minear. And I think you know that that's high praise. It was similar to Doyle dying (in terms of emotional impact), but without the Nazi demons.
And it was *almost* worth it just b/c it set up the last page of TT #34 so perfectly.

Plei, also -- I woke up in the middle of the night (as per usual) and thought "Sonofabitch. They killed Conner!" I am a great big geek.
In totally other news, Invader Zim -- THE COMIC!!!

Plei, Steph; I wasn't spoiled so it came as a BIG surprise to me. My unspoiled perspective; it was damn cool.
Btw, the Zim comic was from a Nicktoons special that was released when the cartoon was airing. It'd be fun to see more Zim but a comic wouldn't cut it because the voices performances were the best part, IMHO.

I just now read the comic out loud to my co-worker (who borrowed my Zim and therefore knows what I'm talking about), and attempted to do the voices. We had a small disagreement over which one of us does a better GIR voice. (Me, clearly.)
