I went as Dale Gribble and my girlfriend was Nancy. Pretty simple costumes, but a lot of fun.

I've used this line on my (non-Simpsons loving*) girlfriend and the blank stare I get is almost as good as her getting the reference.

I loved it, but I have a couple of complaints:
1- I really wished Werner Herzog had sung his character's parts.
2- I really wished that Mike Patton would have popped up at some point.

Really, that's what I should have done too. I ended up just muting during commercial breaks to not break my flow of concentration. I'm sure that there are some gems I missed, but in someways that just makes it perfect for multiple viewings.

All I think of is Harley Quinn. And I likes it.

Seriously. The ambition alone is worth a B. Actually pulling it off, though, now that's an A (at least in my book).

Read both, dug both for different reasons. Velvet seemed like a great, pure, genre book while Pretty Deadly was much more atmospheric and hard to pin down as one thing or another.

I believe that they said that they used it (something along the lines of splashing a shit-ton of it on her) when Frank came in and asked if they had tried it.

From my understanding, that gasoline dissolved the glue, but Dee was just too high to realize that she just needed to stop holding onto it afterwards. I could be wrong, but that was my takeaway.

They're also finally reprinting one of my absolute favorite comic runs of all time- the Joe R. Lansdale and Tim Truman string of Jonah Hex miniseries- in a single volume.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone is following the announcements out of NYCC, but the biggest and best news is that Marvel is finally going to reprint Miracleman next year, from the Alan Moore run through Neil Gaiman's, culminating in the unfinished/unpublished finale to Gaiman and Buckingham's story.

@disqus_ucwsDOcMoR:disqus Yeah, it was released simultaneously in hardcover and paperback. The hardcover is $24.99, while the trade is $15.99. Which is a steal.

I liked Batman! The best thing I can say about it was that it justified the hefty price tag. It was a good conclusion to the first part of the story, but the coloring is what stuck out to me. Capullo and Miki and a great team for dark, grim-n-gritty action, but FCO Plascencia makes the pages pop.

I have a feeling that this is really going to hurt my self-esteem.

Well, Rick has become the least interesting character in the comic too. So I guess it's just being faithful to the source material…

Shaolin Cowboy, which was a treat.
Three, which was… interesting.
Afterlife with Archie, which was a lot of fun.
Walking Dead, which I struggled to comprehend why I'm still buying.
And Batman, which had beautiful coloring.

It's a lot of fun. Not being an Archie fan, Francvilla is the main draw to it. But it's just the sort of B-movie experience that you'd expect given the title. 

This dude just keeps getting cooler and cooler!

I read the first issue couple of issues and liked it fine. I think it was just another book that came out around the same time that a lot of books I was really into were going really strong. I always meant to pick up the trade (or trades at this point probably), but never got around to it. Are you still reading it?…

No shit! That's awesome. I was wondering what he had been up to.
