Over the weekend I finally, officially finished Volume 6 of the Usagi Yojimbo Saga collected edition by reading the "celebrity roast" of Stan Sakai that Dark Horse did to commemorate the 100th* issue of UY included in the back of the collection. Various Dark Horse alumni like Frank Miller, Jeff Smith, & Sergio

Vindows, goddammit! C'mon, commit to the gag!

Turns out every klansman's mother is named Martha, too.

"Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound—this amazing stranger from the planet Krypton, the Man of Steel, Superman!

Yeah, their riddles were, uh… kinda lackluster.

It's good! There's a mystery element to the story I wasn't expecting, and that's enough of a hook that I'm really interested to see how it plays out.

Thank you—that comparison to Eternal is perfectly apt and sums up the one complaint I have with that book that I couldn't quantify until you said it.

Dope that I am, I grabbed Volume 2 instead of 1, but it wasn't a

Finished Astrid Lindgren's Ronia the Robber's Daughter because I've been considering giving it to my niece and nephew, and now having read it, I will. Working through Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas?, which now, in retrospect, seems disturbingly prescient, and Terry Tempest Williams' The Hour of Land. I

If I knew how, I would! But yes, it's one of McQuarrie's concepts for the trench run, which seemed fitting for my deep cut Expanded Universe reference of a username.

Ha, the Russians won't get my porn that easily! Initiating Omega Protocol—knew I bought these industrial strength magnets for some reason.

… huh. I 100% did not sign in with you, long-dormant, non-AV-Club-specific Disqus account.
