Between insomnia, congestion, and the fact that BON COP, BAD COP was on TV (good fun, little_dinosaur!), I'm currently running on five hours of sleep. It didn't help that I was woken up super-early because my grandmother had fallen and Mom needed her strong men to help pick her up. It almost didn't happen; the woman's like a small elephant. A small dead-weight elephant.

And it's New Comics Day, which means A.) it'll be bugfuck hectic, and B.) I'll be here till 8:00.

And even after all this, I'm still hoping to catch THERE WILL BE BLOOD. What the hell, it's next week? No new movies today because of Wednesday? What fresh fuckery is this?

So, at what point will I start believing that I'm some kind of hummingbird?



On the supremely plus side, Marvel's put out a new DAREDEVIL BY FRANK MILLER hardcover which includes the little masterpiece "Born Again," long-out of print and one of my all-time favorite comics. I wish it could be completely recolored, but at least it's not all dotty and newsprinty.

Also included is "Love and War" with Bill "Man-God" Sienkiewicz, "The Man Without Fear," with JRJR (already have it, but why the hell not?), and even that excellent stand-alone issue drawn by Mazzucchelli where Matt doesn't speak a word.

Well, well worth the sixty bucks.

Daredevil: Born Again is pretty much the best Daredevil story ever. It was actually a great comfort to me right after I graduated from college, when I was unemployed, dead broke, and thought that I didn't have a friend in the world. (I was wrong about the last bit.)

Great Aaron Stack icon.

I totally get what you mean. It really is a moving and humane story, isn't it? (Still uneasy about the whole Nuke thing, though...)

"Make the costume, Melvin. Nobody will get hurt."
"And a voice that could command gods DOES."
(BORN AGAIN should start with a P, motherfuckit.
Should start with a P!)
And yes, I have a really dogeared first edition.
AND the MWF hardcover, signed by Miller when I met him in NYC. (I also have a copy of DD 158 signed by him.)
Miller? Daredevil? Two great sociopaths that go great together, baby.
Mad love,
G.

Love your icon. Once again.

So you saw it! Awesome! Too bad it killed your sleep, though. Do you need me to explain any Canadianisms/Montrealisms/French-isms? I was impressed by Colm Feore's handling of the French. It's very second-language, but he nailed it!

It didn't so much kill my sleep as much as it was on from 1-3 AM (and I had just finished watching THE FISHER KING at 1:20).

I think I got everything, and if I didn't, well, I didn't notice.
