I can see how his art would be hit and miss, depending on the subject material. I think the barrel chests and blocky heads work for Supes, and not everyone even has that aesthetic in the book. The women are really well done.

Morrison did a great job, and the first 12 issues are an arc of their own. Really, very very touching, and the visual continuity carries over. Things that happen in issue six are revived in the background art of issue eleven and so on. I really enjoyed those little hat tips.

FreakAngels is one of those things I was taking about. I get it Warren, you're edgy. I think I read about that in Hellstorm in 1992. But then, I have little patience for that whole possible post-apocalyptic steampunk thing. I don't know why. Lots of my friends like it to,, though, and I'm glad it's still going!

You realize talking so much about that book has made me decide I want to read it? I've always had a casual interest in the lives of the Queens--who they are, how they dealt with the expectations forced on them (egads, I chafe on their behalf but also realize this was the world they expected...or was it? I don't know! I am curious!). So after Triffids, I'm going to check it out.

"Scott and Agent Brand of SWORD have an argument . . . "

And now I have to go get this. It's been over a decade since I've picked up a comic book, or graphic novel, or whatever they're calling them these days -- actually, I think it's been two. But now I've gotta go find this. Thanks a lot.

Ditto. What's the exact title? I don't dare look like I'm not entirely sure what I'm asking for at Things From Another World. I may be the only adult woman to go in there most days and I get every fucking clerk in the store waiting on me.

Astonishing X-Men Volume 5 I believe the subtitle is "Ghost Box"

OMG I worship Frank Quitely. I know everyone thinks his faces are ugly but I don't give a shit, he's a genius.

The washcloth saga needs to be fleshed out and published somewhere. I imagine there must be a Journal of Existential Bathroom Accouterments somewhere.

I almost didn't read "Batman" in your next to last there. I won't tell you what I almost read instead. And it made me howl.
