It looks like a painting.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know.
USA Today previewed a look at the Silver Surfer in the film, but 20th Century Fox has provided us with a higher-resolution version of the image, which shows the Surfer in all his glory from next summer's FF sequel! Here's how Avi Arad described him to the newspaper:
"[He] will look somewhere between gun metal and fluid metallics so you can see the body motion, the breathing, the muscle tone, the mood. He is a highly emotional being, trapped inside fluid metal."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The breathing?

Astounishing 19 is out tomorrow. According the list I was looking at, it's the start of Joss' last (6-issue?) run on the series.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I need to catch up on the Astoundings. I only read the first run. Is there a paperback collection, perchance?
Also, saw a preview for the FF/Silver Surfer movie last night. The Surfer looks utterly fantastic. I'll see the stupid movie just for him. I wonder if they'll explain exactly why he's on a surfboard, though. I never understood that. Other than, cool idea.
Is he, in the movie, still supposed to be the vanguard of Galactus? Because that would be swell.
(whitefonted in case he is, and someone might not know about that.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
ZenKitty, he is indeed supposed to be the Herald of Galactus in the movie. As to "why a surfboard," well, things were different in the '60s...

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I got into a conversation with a friend about the Ultimates line, and now I'm thinking about going back and reading Spidey from the beginning of Ultimates. Is anyone following the run of Civil War? I'm surprised at how intrigued I am, but I suspect it is at least in part due to my lingering displeasure with Crisis.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Civil War is making me angry. In a storytelling sense, they are literally breaking their world. I have no idea how they are going to turn this off without a complete and total asspull.
