I guess they picked Daredevil for their Bendis. Which I'm okay with, as it shows that you can be list-worthy even writing a mainstream title.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I've gotten yet another person hooked on Firefly, and his comment was "Jayne Cobb and Titus Pullo should open a bar together."

Black Hole is great. Loved it a lot. When did Epileptic come out? It is also brilliant. Y is best though!

Has anyone read Chew ? The first trade comes out tomorrow and I'm going to pick it up. A co-worker recommended it to me, and it sounds pretty interesting and entertaining.

True Stories of the 'Core Marvel Universe':
In the Marvel Universe, Thor -- the literal Norse god of Thunder -- was turned into a frog for three issues, including one where his magic hammer turned him into a 6'6" frog-man (er, frog-god), which had the side effect of chipping his hammer so that another frog (who had once been a man before he was cursed by a fortune-teller) could turn into a normal-sized frog-god, which came in handy when he had to team up with a teleporting dog and a sabretooth tiger to get magic gems back from an alien from Jupiter's moon who was in love with the living embodiment of Death.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I buy some of that. But reading into Green Goblin's continued depiction as hermaphroditic because his lower half is obscured by a female form? That's just working at it.
