1. Okay, so this explains things. I've seen you on a LOT lately, and I was wondering why. Very cool! and I'll actually get to comment to my f'list and write fic and posts. YAY!
YAY. We've missed you. :D
Awww, literaryll is awesome! Now tell her to get online some. I miss her lots!
Superbooks: Adventure comics is the only Superbook that I'm actually *enjoying* reading right now. :(( The rest of them are driving me a little crazy, specifically because of the lack of Mon-El, who was swiftly becoming my favorite. That being said, I am about two weeks behind on all my books... except for Blackest Night, of course.
Adventure #3 made me really, really happy. <33 BOYS <33
but Gary Frank's Reeve-clone!Clark throws me out of the story, which in itself is perfunctory at bestOh thank god! Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when I say that I don't like this guy's art because of this. (I mean, it's good art, but every time I see Clark I just get annoyed and stop thinking about the story
( ... )
Booster Gold & Blue Beetle are still one of my favorites. I'm always squeeful when they come out. This weeks the Blackest Night issue, though. *bites nails*
Wonder Woman *is* wonderful! I'm glad I started reading it. :D
I don't know if it's something you *need* to see, but I've written a lot of stuff in the last few months. It's all on my journal, and specifically I wrote some more Guy/Kyle. It's probably my favorite of the bunch. I just checked my index post and dear god, I've written 13 stories since January. *boggles*
(Goodness, sorry this was so long! If it's any indication, this is how much I've missed you!! **HUGS**)

I'm glad you're still squeeful - squee is a wonderful things and should be shared whenever possible. I'm still enjoying it, it's just not one of those things I anticipate all month. I wonder if the Blackest Night issues will have more impact/meaning than the tie-ins did, or if they'll just be dead relative's bodies trying to get a rise out of their loved ones. Black Lantern Ted should be fun, though.
YAY! I'm glad you're reading it. Isn't Diana's caper with Dinah delightful? And the noodles! Hee!
Mmm... Guy/Kyle. I'll have to read that. O_o Thirteen! Wow, I'm impressed. You've been prolific. :D
*HUGS* Good gracious, please don't be sorry for replying to my long-ass post with a long reply. I've missed you much!

I don't really anticipate it all month, either. I'm not sure that I do that about any book anymore, since I'm surrounded by awesomeness every day. But it's definitely one of the ones that I say "OH YAY!" when I see it on the invoice for the upcoming week.
It's all been awesome. I hate that there are people who don't like it. Truthfully, we don't sell much Wonder Woman. We get something like 9 or 10 copies in, and all but one of those goes to subscribers, and the one that goes to the shelf usually doesn't sell. :( I should start pushing it. *nods*
I know! I was shocked when I counted them all up. O.o
specifically because of the lack of Mon-El, who was swiftly becoming my favorite. That being said, I am about two weeks behind on all my books Well then, catch up. *coughs* You'll be happier.
I've re-read Adventure #3 about five times already. The first two times, I cried because I'm a sap.
it's good art, but every time I see Clark I just get annoyed *nods along* Exactly. It's comics!Clark; he's not supposed to look like anyone, but Clark. Seeing Reeve!Clark just reminds me of my childhood. I wouldn't want Welling!Clark either, even though I adore Tom's Smallville Clark. I just want him to only look like himself. If the artist needs a model, he should pick someone not famous.
World's Finest Important, huh? The final issue is the Clark and Dick team-up? Hmm...
it was FANTASTIC YEP!!
I think maybe I'll have a comic book day on my day off tomorrow. Ooh, I want to know your thinky-thoughts... :)
Has anyone asked DC about this?? Because I'm tempted to start a petition it's so awful.We should send this 600 postcards saying, "His name
( ... )

Totally agreed. Also he should not model him after *himself* ala Alex Ross.
OH GOD, Detective was AMAZING. *makes grabby hands for the next issue*
We should send this 600 postcards saying, "His name is DICK". Maybe then they'd get the point.
You know what, though? This week it wasn't so bad. At least Tony Daniels, for all of his faults, isn't calling him Richard. Still, I'm seething about this.
She loves him and its rather persuasive.
You know, I wish I could love him, just for her. :( I've tried (and honestly I don't hate him outside of Batman and Robin) but all I can think is that he's Grant's very obvious and annoying Gary Stu. In the other books he's just sort of an amusing little shit. And in Red Robin Tim punched him in the face, so I was happy with that.
He's playing with the theory of "what if everything wer canon", thus he's

1. I've missed you too! Yes, she is awesome and I have told her to get online, but she is in a reclusive phase. I've challenged her to post before X-mas. We'll see...
2. Thank you. *bows* Being geeky just comes naturally.
5. Reading Sandman is not necessary. There are some changes to Lucifer's status quo in Sandman, but there's a prologue in the first issue of Lucifer to bring you up to speed. If you want to read the relevant parts of Sandman first, the one that pertains most to Lucifer is Volume Four: Seasons of Mist.
8. I'm sorry the ballgames interrupted your programs, but yes I did enjoy them. :) Thanks for thinking of me.
9. It's here, but it's Marvel. As I said, I ended up not writing the characters that I'd been matched on.
10. Isn't it wonderful! Very good news for the industry, I think. Better that the Big Two are really the Big Two and in close competition for sales. I like the idea that people like you and literaryll are responsible for this shift. :D
I'll respond to parts two and three after I put my kids to bed. RL, she calls
Re: *glomps you*merelymineNovember 13 2009, 00:26:23 UTC
I wanted to answer at least one of these today, before I go pass out on the couch watching TV. :P
1. Haha, oh dear. :) I see her pop on gmail occasionally, but it's always a fleeting thing. She's like an internet ninja.
5. I will add this to my list of things to read, then!
9. *opens in a new tab* I'll make sure I check it out!
10. Yes, it is! We keep track of the weekly sales of almost every new comic that comes into our store, and there are hard numbers to prove this, even in my little town. Yay DC!
