I keep putting off reading comic-related things (I keep buying Ms. Marvel, Saga, Lazarus, etc., but managing to remember to read the TPBs doesn't happen often ( Read more... )

1. Flist, I have a very important question that I almost posted to twitter but forgot about. Did Jonas Quinn ever wear a bandanna a la Daniel Jackson and his do-rag of shame? (and why do I think I've asked this before? I don't even know WHY I wondered about this one my way home today ( Read more... )

1. CAPTAIN MARVEL. Are they going to cast Katee Sakhoff or Anna Torv? I am half-holding out for Anna (and then Katee can be Phylla and Tricia can be Moondragon. YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE AMAZING. I have just confirmed this with bluediamond4212. Excuse you, but I do want my Captain Marvel to not be Earth-based and surrounded by white dudes. It's a hope ( Read more... )

1. Finally got round to listening to the Dark Eyes set done by Big Finish (the first one), and, uh... It's dull. ( Read more... )

Sorry, there was a random impromptu Not Paying Attention To Anything. And I'm back now. I'm only at skip 160, dudes. That is just sad

1. I came across this on my travels: In a statement, SFX said:Revisionists would have you believe that Who was always a show with emotional impact, but barring a couple of companion departures, that didn't really ( Read more... )

And accidentally bought most of Rucka's Lazarus. (what can I say, I'm a sucker for robot/cyborg/genetically-engineered girls and their twisty family relationships). It's very good, not pulling a lot of punches and is basically a mashup of a bunch of different things (scheming families, post-apocalypse, family loyalty, etc.) that I generally find ( Read more... )

Picked up comics.

1. I really sort of liked the premise of JMS' Apocalypse Al, but the art is panty-shots and bras peeking out all over the place. Very obviously not being created for women to read. Ugh. NOT buying it again, and really sad I wasted money on it. (otoh, at least now I know who the market for all the sex-ay chicks on the covers of ( Read more... )

1. Clowns are scary.

2. Abandoned trains freak me out.

3. Combine the two, and I am now gonna have some terrible dreams

A. Yes, it was time for my yearly (bi-annually?) immersion in abandonedplaces (so many mental hospitals, people. SO MANY) (I still like the creepy snowmen from two years ago best ( Read more... )

And I have thoughts.

Doctor Who (IDW Volume 3) #9-11 [Spoiler (click to open)]WWII pilots! That is like Lyssie catnip, and it did not disappoint, as there were not only pilots, but STEAM ENGINES and ridiculousness and mehanical bird-things! And Eleventy grew a beard. Again. (It is better than Crichton's dead animal-face, but not by much ( Read more... )

I've bought some comics off and on recently.

Saga - first trade [Spoiler (click to open)] Really liked this. Good pacing, and yanked me RIGHT in. Basically, nique was like, "I'm almost done with it." then she was done. Twenty-thirty minutes later, I was like, "WHY ISN'T THERE MORE ( Read more... )
