thehefnerIt's official. Seattle gives me pinkeye. Or at least, something here at Edd's house does. Every time I've come to visit over the past year, bam! Pinkeye. What the hell.
Comics this week hurt my soul. Like, watch this: Marvel's DARK REIGN # 1? FINAL CRISIS # 5? Ow, my soul! See?
On the plus side, there's SECRET SIX # 4. Bane and Scandal are absolutely wonderful, and I will never stop loving Deadshot.
And then there's NIGHTWING. Sigh. Harvey's latest story was... predictably disappointing. If one can expect to be disappointed. Ultimately, it's just another "Two-Face is unrepentantly evil and not much more" depiction. Sigh again.
Back to the ol' Harvey Dent novel. I've been an editing machine lately, tightening up the story throughout. Once I get Bloo's notes in and incorporated, draft number six will be ready!
It's really good, you guys. It'll probably always be too long, but I'm super-pleased nonetheless.

NoVA peeps, I love y'all, but seriously.

Must...repost...musical list
Date: 2008-12-11 02:00 am (UTC)Re: Must...repost...musical list
Date: 2008-12-11 02:21 am (UTC)Dark Reign, WTF?
Date: 2008-12-11 02:08 am (UTC)I manage to both like and hate the art (like it because the style is cool, hate it because, aside from Doom and Emma, none of the rest of those people look right at all... especially the one that's supposed to be Namor!).
The plot idea is interesting, but seems incredibly outlandish. Even by comic book standards.
And no matter what, Osborne's plan can't possibly end well. For anyone.
*sigh*
The list of musical prequels, though... that rocks. :)
icon fight!
Date: 2008-12-11 02:16 am (UTC)NORMAN: Let me tell you how it's going to be.
DOOM: A madman in pixie books and cornrows dares to order DOOM?!
*snaps Norman's neck*
HOOD: Shit-fuck!
DOOM: Doom's hood is far superior to yours, snarky-boy! Pay for your insolent douchebaggery!
*violent death*
DOOM: Come, bitches. Make sweet love to Doom. That includes you, Namor.
*arms around Loki, Emma, and Namor, Doom departs in a cloud of awesome*
The end.

And not just because it sounds like an awesome setup for fanfic slash. :)
