Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Jon, do you post there, much? If so, do you want to mention this discussion in the Jossverse thread?

I think all five of us in that thread have been here.

There's a lot of other comics talk in there. Always has been.

Just things I am thinking.

J'verse already is a thread where non-Joss comics are discussed - frequently - this would just make it official.

It doesn't have a sub-community like some others have. Frequent posters, yes, but not really a sub-community.

Joss is about to write a 12-shot for X-Men. This should cause some amount of people to venture into non-Joss comics that haven't. So it seems like a good time to make it a general comics thread.

I'm sure all these points have already been made by now...

What is even happening?

I just looked at the last 50 posts. Sumi, Matt, DX, Teppy, sj, and some other folks seem to post there, too.

I am pussyfooting, because I am still bruised from my (admittedly ignorant, but in the dumb way, not the mean way, which still gets retold as if it were the mean way, and ignores the apologies and retractions and oh, I digresss /issues) suggestion that AC could close when BtVS bowed.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The pussyfooting is appreciated, Cindy. I just posted something there about this discussion.

Yep, and I'd just as soon make it explicit. Because I'm sort of hungry for some good analysis and genre talk, and I don't watch Stargate and I like Ple and Amych and Shrift and Holli's spicy brains and would love to give them a place to go all obsesso.

Also, as noted, Joss has an X-men comic run coming up. Which might be the only Joss we see this year after Angel's done.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Heh. I never looked in J'verse...I always assumed it was All-Fray and ONLY Fray, I guess.

More fool me.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I finally looked in J'verse, and read something that made me squeal with glee.

Expand Jossverse. I think it's a swell idea.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

As a non-spicy-brains-having denizen of Jossverse, I'm cool with making it comics in general.

Could it be 'toons, also? Like Teen Titans and Justice League?
