I am good. I just sent my book manuscript to my publisher, three years after my first inquiry.

I'll try to make the switch to Kinja from my janky old AVC-only account, but things will not be the same, and I'm far from happy about the management's decision to make this switch.

Honesty, yes. With Liefeld, I react to the art — what madman thinks the world looks like this? Is this so bad it goes all the way around to good, somehow? And I can sort of see how it appealed to 14 year olds back in the day. At the very least, it's not boring. Lee is like the other Image founders with all of the…

My buddy in high school always called that movie "Indecent Exposal." Then Disclosure came out and he called it "Indecent Disclosal." I don't know what he called GIJane.

Of all the Image founders, Lee's the one whose superstar status mystifies me the most.

I pick up on symbolism so rarely that I want to share it whenever I do.

Steve Rude is an excellent fit for this. Jim Lee is…not.

I was counting from when we first saw the relationship onscreen. If you count the characters' backstory, then, yes, much longer than 27 years.

You'd think after last time he'd just punch them in the shoulder or something, gently.

Not out of place enough for the giant to choose someone other than Andy to do his work.

AND ANOTHER THING: Big Ed drove to tell Norma the good news in a golden pickup truck, the vehicular equivalent of a golden shovel.

Of late I find myself struck by how long ago 2000 was from today.

This must be such a rare treat for journalists - it's a big event, you can trot out plenty of experts and enthusiasts and people on the street, nobody's getting hurt, and nothing bad will happen as a result of your reporting.

That would make an astonishing amount of sense, somehow, even though it makes very little sense.

Nice to see that Jacoby's online rantings did Nadine so much good.

It puts those 80s cartoon narrations in a whole other context.

I was struck by how hard Stan wanted to break into Hollywood, and how he spent decades trying to be pleased with the table scraps Marvel was getting.

James really got clobbered in the original seasons: His secret girlfriend got killed, he fell in love with her best friend, then he started to fall for her identical cousin, who then got killed, and somewhere in there the aunt who was raising him mentally regressed to teenagerhood and started banging one of his high…

It can be two dudes.
