I was reading this to kill time at work. Now I'm gonna get up and do something. awesome, Josh.  

@Preacher and Conor: I made a justice league reference in a meeting at work and a co-worker said "who?" and another co-worker said "y'know- superman, batman, captain america..." and I blew up and I will never ever ever live it down. perspective is a funny thing. the most obvious thing to us is oblivious to most. 

Pearl Jam! Fuck my indie cred, I love pearl jam!  The scene where the council of reeds takes reed down to the hole reminded me of Wire season 3 where the major takes the councilman to see hamsterdam.

i'll have you know i fought off mutant-cyborg gang members from mid-80s movies about the not-too-distant-future. and meth's got nothing on beer.  seriously, though, a lot of these 'monday user review post' comments focus on the reviews rather than the act of compiling/summarizing/editing those reviews. that's a huge task, and this was a monumentally awesome example. also, at home with a...

long time since i read it, but i remember thinking that the last 'pulse' issue was a good last jessica jones issue. not as good as the last alias, but still pretty awesome.
