To back you up: reviewing a sizeable number of books, particularly when it isn't your day job, is a chore. Most weeks, I read and review all of DC's books. ALL of them. There's minimal time to enjoy them as you have to instead rapidly digest them and write a happy yet meaningful review. And that's just one…

If you don't like Gwenpool, I won't hold it against you. It is, however, fun to see a "real" person dealing with the physics of a comic book universe, to include dealing with character histories. There's some fun moments where she points out that certain characters can't remember their own childhoods because they're…

The secret is that Rebirth has, for the most part, struck a balance between familiarity and progress. It's mostly a return to classic DC, but with some organic growth which is appealing to new readers but comfortable to older ones.

(Willie) Ach, that's not what ye said the first time ye saw me!

Fudge, you're right. Caffiene hadn't kicked in yet.

Not really. I monitor stuff, but I'm really not inclined to participate much anymore for personal reasons that would be too complicated to get into. As a kind of gave me a "what the hell" moment of spontaneity.

Ok, fine. Someone has already mentioned Tom Scioloi's Transformers vs. GI Joe, but it's worth repeating. The comic celebrates everything goofy about a toy turned storyline while still maintaining a rich narrative. It is, in essence, The Lego Movie of comics.

You fool. You were my only hope that a body could reasonably quit this place.

Sigh.

The Lego Star Wars calendars tend to sell out by November every year, so if you don't buy it early, you're not getting it. Also, it's a different offering every year, so if you want the one with Maul or Vader, you're not getting it unless you go on eBay. This year's day 24 gift is a white Chewbacca, and you'll like…

Yo, I wrote my thing for love fest and I'll post it whenever it's due in January.

I'm making a rare return comment to tell you: no, no, no, no. For the love of all that is holy, don't read it.

The actors have a push on Twitter to renew the show. I'm skeptical of a renewal some this episode killed off a large chunk of the cast—Bennet apparently died last time, and we lost the nuns and the Lone Gunmen this week. I'm betting the villains get theirs next week, with Maria pulling a Wormtounge or Darth Vader on…

Make up for it by watching The Phantom Menace.

It's like I gave you free passes to a BDSM party and you're like, "Well, they're FREE…." :)

Bam. Just messaged them to you. And it's at Regal SS.

I think I'm going to add an addendum that you might find among Catholics, invariably, an attitude that a nonmarried person is expected to either become married or to go join a religious order. I'd like to credit this to being a human problem, not a Catholic-distinct one…although certainly, scripture, tradition, and…

Completely off-topic, I have tickets to Jackie in Silver Spring on Monday night. This is the "Natalie Portman as JFK's widow Oscarbait" thing. You want 'em, I'll message them over to you. I think I'd like to go, but life is tight enough right now that I'm not sure I can take a Monday night off.

Ironically, C Everett Koop was done in by Tofu and brussel sprouts.
