May 21, 2013 9:21 pm I'll always have a spot in my heart for The Flaming Carrot. Rarely have comics been such absurd fun . . .

May 21, 2013 9:15 pm Thanks, Paul -- I'll keep an eye out for it . . .

May 21, 2013 4:19 pm Has anyone read the McCoy story? He's one of my girlfriend's two favorite Trek characters, so, if it's good, I just might be able to convince her to take a look at it . . .

May 20, 2013 8:27 pm Yeah, I wish that she could have been Robin just a little longer -- give her a strong success before she falls from favor. In retrospect it was probably simply done to give her the motivation for trying to prove herself by setting War Games in motion . . .

May 20, 2013 8:24 pm Seaguy is one of the best things that Morrison has ever written. There are some serious themes running around in the subtext, but mostly it's a lot of fun. Plus, it features the best floating, cigar smoking, talking tuna ever. Truly, trust me on this. Also, the art by Cameron Stewart is amazing; it's my favorite work of his. There's supposed to be a third mini at some point, but, I'm starting to give up on it ever happening. Last I heard DC let the trade of the first series go out of print, and never bothered to collect the second.

May 20, 2013 8:17 pm It's a good thing that next week is an "extra" week, as I'll be spending my budget for both weeks this Wednesday . . . Most excited for Mind MGMT, Young Avengers, Nowhere Men & Unwritten. Also getting Sex, Masks (there's a combo :)), Justice League, Justice League Dark, Batman Inc, Aquaman, Journey into Mystery & Daredevil. I will pick up part two of Booster Gold in All Star Western, but not this week . . . BQ: the guy who tries to keep the rest of the gang calm when things start snafuing . . .

May 20, 2013 8:10 pm I always grab a copy of Comic Shop News, even if most of it (due to sites like this :)) isn't new anymore. Double digits, I don't remember, but I believe it was triple digits in the 90s . . .

May 20, 2013 8:00 pm I disagree about the pacing -- it's one of the reasons I'm enjoying the story. Yeah, those highlighted words are kinda weird though . . .

May 20, 2013 7:57 pm Yeah, a few years ago, I started working through the Hellboy collections at my library, but got stalled on the one volume they did not have. Now, I feel as though I need to start all over again . . .

May 20, 2013 7:55 pm I was curious about Multiple Warheads, but never really knew what it about. It sounds intriguing; I'll keep my out for a trade. After all, I'm always a sucker for well-crafted world-building . . .
