Nice review!  Johns is kind of hit or miss to me, but I've been digging this series, and since I'm not following much else in the DCU as it comes out, the lateness doesn't bother me much especially since the Van Sciver art looks amazing.  I admit I'm rolling my eyes a bit about death of/threat to female loved ones being trotted out as a plot device yet again, but I'm hoping that wi...

I've gotten so used to editing as I go along that I tried to do just a few pages 'NaNo style' for the experience, and just couldn't get anywhere.  I kept rewriting the first paragraph to fix a logical flaw and. . .well, that's about as far as I got.  I think to do the  NaNo thing, you really have to commit to it, and I haven't gotten to that point yet. That said, I *do* think t...

5-person dream team: Jean Grey, Dick Grayson, She-Hulk, Oracle, and Northstar. -from me, throughthebrush, and secondbatgirl Also, the three of us were in Isotope Comics in San Francisco today.  We told the proprietor that we listened to ifanboy, and he assumed we were looking for Ron.  :)

I'm fairly sure it's Scott walking away.  That's how the writer signals he's the one who deserves her.  (I'm not even kidding about that, I'm fairly sure it's the intent -- so on SOME level even Stan realized it's creepy).  I particularly love the 'You're right, sir!' part, since the implication is that X told them, "They made me put a girl on the team but don't worry, SHE'...

Cool pick!  Somebody recently asked on Twitter, "What comic do you always intend to pick up in trades but never do?" and I couldn't think of one, but BPRD would be a good answer.  I'll have to go back to BPRD 1946 some time soon, then get 1947 when it comes out.  My pick was 'SWORD #1'.   A really fun story from Kieron Gillen --I think anybody who's a fan of Jos...

I liked it when Hal Jordan lived in his car.

Batgirl, Cable, Phonogram, and the first issue of SWORD all look tasty.  BQ: I had ice cream with lunch.

Oh, the memories!  The oddest thing about reading this book was realizing that the strip ceased publication in 1989, and also that the daily strip *never* ran in my local paper.  This is significant because I distinctly remember devouring the whole thing in 8th grade, which was 1988-89, when I was totally smitten with 'topical' humor -- probably brought on by SNL's coverage of the 19...

Point of clarification -- was Ron's 'guarantee' of recognizing the lead singer of Anthrax on sight directed at the entire audience, or just Josh and Conor? 

Oh, hellz, yeah.
