Vonda’s a fantastic writer, and an entirely lovely person...but The Crystal Star was...not good.

KKirk has to swim down into the cargo hold of the ship and release the whales manually, and then swim out of the hold into the SF bay.

I think it’s a one-shot, unfortunately.

You failed to mention Katie Cook’s hilarious story at the end of the issue. BAD JAMES! BAD! *swats your nose with a rolled up copy of the Man-Thing Omnibus* Damn thing had me cackling with glee and going all squishy with “Awwwww...” alternately. Worth it for Moth-Eye’s terrified realization about Black Widow alone.

Looks to me like his chest symbol lighting up.

The spinoff was abandoned, sorry to say.

The spinoff was abandoned a couple of months back.

I’ve gotten into the habit of minor purges — driven by the purge I did after my home was firebombed, and I moved in with friends for a while. I ditched all of the floppy comics, chunks of my DVD collection, piles of CDs, and lots of books (including entire Star Trek, Star Wars and Doctor Who collections.) It didn’t…

Hate to tell you this, but hoarding goes back quite some way, and isn’t a 21st Century thing at all. One example:

I’ve moved several tons of books, movies, and music across country several times. And, in one instance, around the world.

This is an issue I’m hacving now. My musioc colelction has gotten so big that I have trouble digging through it, despite the increasing levels of organization. Mind you, this is an issue I had with physical media as well.

The volatility of digital media is a big concern.

That’s just for the fight training.

I’m advising people in Malibu to put oars and flotation devices on their houses.

It’s like shagging someone for the first time. Sometimes it turns out to be amazing. Mostly you’re trying to get each other’s rhythm going. It’s on the next go that you start to expand. That’s why I do it. That and the money!

Jamaica Air Taxi. or the Alcan plane(s)? Either one was a riot back wheb I lived in Jamaica — the JAT pilots would take off at an angle where the treetops would make the wheels spin, and the Alcan pilots were cowboys (and trained by a real cowboy bush pilot from the States, who once flew me in to Montego Bay…

One of the reasons it took so long to get an UNCLE film reboot is probably because of the abysmal TV movie continatuion, THE FIFTEEN YEARS LATER AFFAIR, which went for the camp with a vengeance, and was such as turkey that it killed at least a couple of careers that I know of (I was peripherally connected to the…

I’ve just started a rewatch of TMFU (up to season 1, episode 25 now) and was highly amused at “The Project STRIGAS Affair.” That first season is wildly uneven, mind you.

I’m hoping we’ll get another semi-anthology series, this time DC’S HOUSE OF MYSTERY.

Thanks for the note. That would explain it. I’m just curious as to why we seem to be clear here in southern Arizona, though, but that might have something to do with having a world-class medical operation based in and around Tucson.
