What, no love for Killraven? (At right. Although I suppose his companion is also a contender.)

Have Ellis and Immonen ruled out ever going back to it? The occasional miniseries, maybe? Man, now I need to reread the trades.

Damn, I miss Nextwave. Gleeful derangement from start to finish.

Oh my god. OH MY GOD. Yes please. Although I'm not sure if even she could shout "Ultraviolet Nova!" (e.g.) with a straight face.

See also the garage attendant scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Pretty sure Monsters U is a prequel, which doesn't make it more necessary but at least makes more sense.

I wondered this as well. Maybe he controlled for that somewhat through his selection of a launch location? It might help, at least — and also might minimize the danger of anybody being under it when it landed. I mean, being beaned by a camera traveling at 150 mph would hurt.

I keep reading this headline as "Karen's 'O Frankenweenie' love ballad." In my head it's awesome — a sort of Laurie Anderson-meets-the-Carpenters thing. And then I'm a little heartbroken a moment later when I realize that such a song does not exist.

"Well, I ate the night and pooped a total eclipse of the soul."

Maybe we can get BBCA to underwrite a second series of The Fades while they're at it, as BBC2 has reportedly declined to do so. Because they are stupid.

Wow, yeah. I turned on the TV just in time to see X&G crucified by the Romans and assumed bodily into heaven — having missed most of the episodes leading up to it. Out of context, it was one of the most jaw-droppingly transgressive things I'd ever seen on TV.

Full marks to you! One of my most favoritest books evar.

No no no. Waits needs to be the Blue Fairy.

My compliments to Mr. Amell's personal trainer.

So... there's some sort of magical anti-electricity field canceling out some VERY basic properties of matter, but it doesn't affect the electrical impulses required to keep, oh, your heart beating or your brain functioning or...

Cue impassioned FUD campaign by pesticide manufacturers in 3, 2...

I'll take "Why I Got the @#$% Out of Educational Publishing" for $500, Robert.

The idea that somebody thought naming a character "Savage Opress" was a good idea continues to blow my mind.
