I've read the first issue of Brief Lives. This is going to be good.Damn right it is. Just thinking about it, I may have to read it again now.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am beginning to see why you love Delirium. She's cracking me up.
I'm going to try to finish this tonight and post about it. It's going well so far, and I hope I don't let my expectations get in the way of my read.

To break the Sandman luvin' for just one moment... I just read Infinite Crisis #7. Ooooooohhhh Yeahhhh.
This old DC-verse goob had a blast. My highlights - (white-fonted spoilery up the wazoo)
Tim Drake discovers Connor.
Earth's 1 & 2 Superman vs Doomsday. That fucking rocked. Knee to the head, mother-fucker! Ah-hem...
Alex Luthor: "Because I... I am like my father was; The only hero in a world full of villains."
Burninate in Krypton's star, bitch!
Mogo!!! (there's a cameo I never expected).
"You didn't let the Joker play." Ouch.
"I know when." Double ouch.
That's gonna leave a scar, young'un.
Moments that made me a little miffed:
Batman with a gun.
Some of the very poor choices for fill-in artists.
Final thing: I think that lantern washed up on the shore was the one owned by Earth 97's Green Lantern. This makes me happy because among the general chos of #6, I thought that Green Lantern was really cool looking.
Glee.

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.
That's a whole lot of white font.
Damn, guess I'll have to stop by my comic shop tonight. I generally let my pulls pile up a bit between visits.

I will say it's itemized, so there's a lot of line breaks. But still, plenty of DC OMG to last me awhile.

Oh, I didn't realize there was another crisis going on. I thought the IC stuff was referring to Identity Crisis, which was confusing since it was, you know, last year.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Nope, P-C, Infinite Crisis harkens back to the 1985 epic of Crisis on Infinite Earths. I'm not much of a DC reader these days but was back then which is why this was such a big deal for me.
Steph, no don't read it. But after you've read the issue, let's compare notes on our favorite goobery moments.

I guess I need to stop by the comics shop on my way home too.

I am beginning to see why you love Delirium. She's cracking me up.She's at her most quotable in Brief Lives, too. I want to smush her and then run far far away before awful things start happening to my brain.
