Just one? Not easy.

"Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king."

Now I wish I hadn't sold that run. Gahh! Nostalgia!!!

A fun related moment comes in 52 when Buddy, slowly dying, looks at the readers and says "Look, they're cheering us on. I told you the universe likes me."

That scene where they discover they each blame themselves for Ben's death is excellent.

That makes me think of JMS's Spider-Man run when May discovers Peter's secret and the two of them discuss Ben. Peter admits that he could have saved Ben and has always blamed himself. May tells Peter that she always blamed herself, as they had argued that night, causing Ben to storm out and end up getting shot.

All good choices.

Maximus is a tortoise, not a turtle. Gawd.

So, so good. So good.

I finished Science of the Discworld IV: Judgement Day. Less a book of popular science than an appeal to be rational instead of superstitious. They almost manage to argue for atheism without sounding smug about it. Almost. Finally ran out of excuses, and so I've begun The Shepherd's Crown. I took a year and read 44

Good luck.

I truly hope it is over soon. My bedbug infestation was one of the worst experiences of my life. Kill them all and leave none alive!

Fuck moving. My GF's landlord has decided to sell his house, so we have less than a month to pack her up and move her… somewhere? In the meantime, she'll be living with me in my 500 sq ft apt, which is not big enough for two. Sigh.

Very sad. Thanks for the information.

Please, please be super popular and drive the value of my back issues through the roof! I'm still kicking myself for putting The Walking Dead back on the shelf. Just make me rich AMC, that's all.

You just made me want to pull out all my old YJ issues. Then I remembered that I sold them when I needed both money and space. Now I'm sad..

No, no. You're correct. Locke and Key is the best comic series you've ever read. It's okay to admit it.
