I don’t promise I won’t do one of these for every issue, so you should probably be glad that it’s not a monthly title. OTOH, it’s the first time in a loooong time that I’m really impatient for the *next comic*, so hurrah and huzzah! So this is a 60 page prologue and it’s…wow. A lot happens in it. A *lot* happens, and I’m torn about…it’s well done. I mean, given how much they were trying to do, it’s well done. And to give them props, in 60 pages they…

shindigs!
So I got outbid on that fabulous 1920s style dress, as I’d expected to. I was regretful but not surprised, and started poking around at other not-quite-so-good ones. Then I got an email from a reader. She’d clicked through to see the dress, her husband had seen her looking at it, surmised that she wanted it, and bid on it for her. “But,” she said, “I didn’t want it, I was just looking at it, so would it be too weird if I just had the seller send it to…
Sons of Anarchy & Jericho
I’ve had Sons of Anarchy highly recommended to me, and it stars Ron Perlman, so I watched the first episode a few nights ago. I didn’t like it very much–every single person in the story is a right bastard, and it’s clear the story will be about the evolution of Our Hero (Charlie Hunnam, aka “Hey, that’s the guy from Pacific Rim!”) from a right bastard into someone who does the right thing. It’s established straight off, particularly since we get to see him beat the shit out of somebody…
a media post
Media 1: I got my SiP omnibus edition the other day. It came with a signed print, which I didn’t expect, so that was nice. It’s a lovely omnibus. Its low price is explained by it being two softcovers in a slipcase (I’d vaguely assumed it’d be hardcovers). My copy happened to arrive with a dinged corner, which is too bad, but not too big a deal. In my ideal world, it would be 4 oversized (Hellboy Library Edition size) hardbacks, but then, in my ideal world, every graphic novel…
now that would be epic
Ian McKellan posted this great picture of him and Patrick Stewart at their first rehearsal for their upcoming Broadway shows, and I was like I WANTS ALL OF THEM NAO PLIZ So now I’m all like, can we get, like, some kind of massive epic fantasy film of some kind with, like, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and George Takei all, like, vying for Helen Mirren’s hand while Judi Dench and Maggie Smith connive in the background or something? Which I said on Facebook, and Harold immediately won the internet by…
