"...and Moore has a "new" book, Alan Moore's Light Of Thy Countenance (actually a comics adaptation of a prose story by other creators)..."

Wait. The very same author who gets all upset and condemns others for daring to adapt his work to a different medium is now doing what?

Hmm... I guess "respect for the source medium" only works one way.

Oops, now I'm a leper/blasphemer. Unclean! Unclean! LOL.

"tell the owner that you're glad that his or her store is nothing like the one in Heroes."

@madame grey: Yep, mine too. Same attitudes, but even narrower aisles and worse lighting.

I would pay a million pesos to see a Sherlock Holmes/Kolchak series on TV! Done in the Night Stalker style, that'd be cool with me.

@John: I would too! Except Darrin McGavin is dead, isn't he? Nobody else could live up to his portrayal.

Wasn't The Wonder Years a title for an 80s tv show? There is no escaping the 80s! It will always be there, casting a long Ray-gun shadow across the world.

@Valrose: Yes, The Wonder Years was an 80s tv show set in the 60s.

How do you combat a Watchmen hangover? Bloody Mary? Fox News? Spiderman 3?
