I'd read that book.

It's funny, I had similar feelings/concerns when Steph debuted as Batgirl—not as any kind of Cass Cain partisan myself, but I sympathized with those folks who thought replacing a PoC character like Cass with yet another blonde, blue-eyed "-girl" (to match Supergirl and Wonder Girl) was a step backwards. And yet BQM's…

Binders full of Robins?

If you mean the Madonna version, agreed.

I heard the Lon Chaney Jr. recitation version for the first time this year, and it's now permanently on both my Halloween & Xmas playlists.

Only if you also sweep the territories in the prestigious Yukonunavest Hat Trick.

"Hey! Don't throw your garbage down here!"

And some purists will tell you the American flag doesn't contain the word "Jordache."

Usagi Yojimbo: Senso would be mine—not only because it's typically great work by Sakai, but because the quick Superman homage at the end of the first issue ("Up in the sky, look!") made me briefly anticipate an entirely different kind of story about alien visitors than what we ultimately got.

… but it's a real good thing you're writing that book, Anthony.

Does "going spend-crazy and buying a bunch of Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli films" count as discovering when I'd already seen some of them? Also, same question, but for collected volumes of a 30-year-old comic book about a samurai bunny.

My hands-down favorite piece of Mako's acting is from one of the DVD special features where he, as Aku, narrates the show's development history and does a bit where he can't pronounce Tartakovsky's name.

Toss-up between that one, the immortal Viking episode, or the one with the rave. There's something really great about how the monsters are designed & depicted in that last one—the total silhouettes with neon highlighting—before it's revealed that Jack's actually fighting the greatest monsters of all… teens.

I love pretty much any episode that allowed Mako to play Aku as something besides just a stentorian archvillain—whether increasingly flustered and annoyed as here with the kids, utterly disdainful to the point of cutting short his own intro when the gangsters visit, or engaged in meta-analysis of the cyclical plot…

Prez has been great—both an incisive and really funny skewering of American politics, but without being outright depressing in the process. And Gotham Academy is a great example of a new title done right— a solid high concept ("like Hogwarts, but in Gotham" tells you exactly what you need to know without being…

From my LCS I'll be picking up Batman & Robin Eternal, Gotham Academy (still my favorite DC book), Prez, Plutona, Paper Girls, the new Daredevil #1, and the Jim Henson's Storyteller: Dragons #1. I enjoyed the first Storyteller collection and the Witches anthology whet my folklore-in-comics appetite, so I'm really…

You're doing the lord's work.

Technically he's a Dracula, but I'll allow it.

Ron Howard: History's Greatest Monster.

Got a thing for rabbits, huh?
