I'll try and remember that for comic shopping next week. Thanks for the heads up.

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

I thought there were many insane things about that piece. Citing what happened in Singapore & the Philipines was odd, since comics don't have the same stigma there as in the US. And I sincerely doubt that even in the US, the people Gaiman encounters on a book tour are representative of comic fans in general.
It was like every paragraph was totally unrelated to every other paragraph. I think the actual point was "I had dinner with Neil Gaiman and I would like to deduct the cost as a business expense." Or possibly, "Wired is seriously desperate for content."

::makes face:: Comic book store just called me to see where I've been the last two months. I don't know how to call and say I will buy my comics, as soon as I have money.

Art Crawl!!!
SA, you could probably just say that.
I picked up many many comics yesterday. I'm kind of caught up now. And I have a question re: Catwoman, first issue "One Year Later": okay, who's the daddy of her baby? Is it Bruce?
I think I missed something. I'm going to assume that answers will be in 52 weeks, right? Maybe?

Ultimate Avengers: The Movie is kind of lame. The voice acting is terrible.

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.
Really? I didn't have a problem with the voice acting myself. Other than Black Widow. That accent. Just ugh. I had issues with some of the casting choices (Cap sounded way too "Golly, gee" for me. There should have been a hint of that, but Ultimate Cap is still very much a soldier) but didn't have a problem with the delivery beyond Widow's.
The plot was kind of pointless, though. They took hints from the Ultimates comic book, but it didn't really go anywhere. "These aliens have been on the planet since WWII, where they helped the Nazis. Since then, they've stayed on the planet for some unknown purpose, then blew up our tracking satellite. Now they're attacking us. Yay, we blew them up."
Still, it had some great one-liners. Thor, and everyone's reaction to him, cracked me up, and the final fight with the Hulk was pretty cool.
