Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Apparently, I am one of two people on the 'net to use the phrase "consent issues like whoa." (The other is balefully, referring to an episode of Supernatural ( Read more... )

Based on likeadeuce's recommendation here at xmen_on_lj, I drove to my not-so-local comic book today and picked up Uncanny X-Men Annual #2, which focuses on Emma Frost. While I was there I picked up New X-Men Ultimate Collection #3, which collects together a couple of trades I haven't read yet and don't own, and issues 15, 17, 18. 20, and 23 of the Peter David run of ( Read more... )

Pick up to 15 OTPs.
Describe them in 15 words or less.
Have your flist guess the OTP.

1. Pedal photography with an exhibition at the Tate; better bring a book. [RPF -- Joss/Summer -- guessed by wisdomeagle]
2. Nativity's transposition, two forked roads, meets again with money and mathematics. Jealousy ebbs, equilibrium restored. [Veronica Mars -- Mac/ ( Read more... )

I can understand why Amazon.com thinks someone who owns all the Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes TPB's would be interested in Superman and the Legion of Superheroes.

But they're still wrong.

It's the last night of 2007, so I'll try and keep track of all the comics I've bought (or was sent by likeadeuce). More for my own reference than anything else. In rough chronological order.

Thank the Lord the first volume of Emma Frost arrived today, so Vols. 2 and 3 aren't just pointlessly languishing on the shelves. The third-party I ordered it from through Amazon Marketplace the first time didn't have it even though they said they did, and this time I never got any confirmation it was shipped or anything so I was afraid the same ( Read more... )

Illyria canonically likes to talk to plants. So Illyria/Pamela Isley would be the perfect crossover pairing, y/y?

I've been thinking about rotating my icons, so I made some comics icons. Now my skill with icon-ing is pretty much limited to cropping and resizing, but luckily that's all that was needed. Under the cut are four Astonishing Kitty icons, two Ultimate Kitty icons, four Stepford Cuckoo icons, and a Supergirl/Powergirl icon ( Read more... )

In the comments to the last post, bastardsnow ask me what I thought of the second Supergirl trade, Candor, and my review was long (although possibly not coherent; I've just gotten up for no good reason at 4am, although it does mean I can watch Doctor Who now) enough that I thought I'd make it a top-level post.
