I'm so tempted to make an icon of the above image.



Pyro's looking a bit scruffy here. I wouldn't even have recognized him in the commotion.



I'm glad he, like the others, were in and out so quickly, otherwise I would have been sorely, sorely tempted to see what he would have done if I mentioned ANIMORPHS.

I didn't manage to get any autographs or even a picture of Callisto. It was all so fast. My copies of X2 and 25TH HOUR went unsigned. Way we heard it, Anna wanted to spend as little time at the store as possible. Even the Ad people who were helping us out were muttering the word "diva" back and forth.

I dunno, I understand if they're tired and all, whatever. I'd have liked them to have been sociable and such, but they seemed cool enough for the five minutes they were in and out, speed-autographing and all.

I just sorta got a mindset of, "Ok, what is the absolute minimum we have to do to keep up our end of the contractual agreement?" Kinda like Krusty the Clown knocking off one-liners in the recording booth for talking Krusty dolls in less than ten seconds and then leaving. Or a celebrity doing community service. "A comic book store? Can't I just pick trash off the freeway?"

Still, all and all, an interesting, if not fun, day.

Oh hell, one more time, the original image.



Whether she wanted to be there or not (she's hardly smiling, hehe!), or maybe it's even funnier if she didn't, but man, one way or another that picture made my day.

I'm just not a big fan of what he's doing on the run. I like some of his work (and I do have quite a bit of it on my bookshelf), but to say that you're "reinventing the wheel" so to speak is ridiculous. Catwoman fans have seen a "kinder, gentler" Batman for years. You wouldn't believe how much on-panel smirking we get.

Did I mention he's a Talia fanboy? Oy vey.

I like Loeb when he's saddled with Sale.

Yea, not a big fan of the House of M spiel. Hey-- remember when it was called the High Evolutionary? No? Just me, then? Oh, ok.

Am looking forward to Civil War though.

PS. I'm just upset they messed with Chamber's and Jubilee's powers (and then aged her?!). I've heard rumors of a zombie!Iceman in Marvel Zombies. Verify this. I haven't been able to myself lately.

Yeah, I'm with you on Morrison. I love about 35-40% of what he does, but the rest either leaves me cold (Seven Soldiers... I just don't see what the big deal is, especially Frankenstein, which everyone is orgasming themselves over) or utterly confused (the entireity of The Invisibles).

High Evolutionary? Can't say I've heard of it, but I'm not surprised. All of Bendis' and company's latest huge event crossovers have just been pale rip-offs of previous Marvel stories (much as I disliked Infinite Crisis, Superboy punching reality was a new one, I'll give them that).

I am interested in Civil War, even though it's wildly out of character for Tony and Reed (both of whom were against mutant registration, right?), and Millar seems to forget that S.H.I.E.L.D. is a U.N. outfit, not the United States.

As for zombie!iceman, from what I could see the only such instance of one is on the cover of Marvel Zombies #4, I think it was, but not in the actual book itself. So maybe we'll see him in the rumored sequel!
