Whew, and here I thought CDs were stand-ins for mother!

Awww, Salinger would love to give his righteous bro Willie Shawn a Dirty Zooey.  Those two would run amok in the back rooms of the New Yorker like sailors on shore leave.  Phyllis McGinley gets goosed.

Pressing plants are coming back (albeit with reconditioned machines) and it's not because of some distorted one half of one percent statistic:

Maxell, type II bias

The scene with the young protagonist trying to masturbate to his dad's erotica photos, maybe the comic scene of the year for me.

Adjust your tracking.

Is it really any worse than Tony Stark killing the Phoenix Force?

I love Midtown.  Last time I was in NYC, I went to the Downtown store and dropped a c-note on bullshit, I was just so happy to be there. I think I walked out with a Katana issue, lol.

That Javier Pina Poison Ivy splash spread up there is gorgeous.

Well, yeah.  It's Canada!  At least you don't have to pay for healthcare.

Satellite Sam is crackling, from the rapid-fire patter script to the always hot Chaykin art.

90%, lol.  We've got a real statistician here!

When she was a fresh faced 50 year old.

My pull box requires at least 15 ongoing titles, and I get 20% off the top.  Fuck a deposit and 10% is insulting.

HAWT SILK SHIRT, DUDE.  CAN U PLAY SOME STEVIE B?

I know, the guy sounds insufferable.  And he barely has anything to do with the nascent indie tape label movement.

Fantastic Four, for all its claims to being the Worlds Greatest Comic Magazine, is probably an insanely difficult thing to write.  Stifling characters, stifling continuity, stifling fanbase.  I like what Hickman did and just turned it into a cosmic book for all intents and purposes.  Fraction wasn't really going…

I have the Darkseid issue.  It's written by Pak, who's one of the few writers at DC I trust. 

Wallpaper Guy with Groovy Hair.

Who is this Kindlon guy???  People don't want fucking lists of shit.  We're sick of lists.
