    It just occurred to me: Are new comics coming Thursday because of Veterans' Day?

    Edit: Oh holy crap, how did I miss this? S.W.O.R.D. #1 comes out this week! Abigail Brand is the second best thing to come out of Joss's run on Astonishing (the best being Armor).

    Whilst I'm on entirely the wrong side of the Atlantic to have a hope of getting it before the trade, the Wall-E series actually has me really excited, as does Supergod. Although I'm reasonably sure a Supergod movie done by Pixar isn't going to be happening aaaaany time soon... #avengers

    X-Men (90s)! I'd set that ringtone to my boss, so the bad of him calling would be offset by the good of that theme song.

    @Mighty Bomb Jack: When I am old and Alzheimers ridden--barely able to remember my own name--my children will wonder come to visit me in a nursing home.

    "Hows he doing" they'll ask the nurses. "Hes fine." they'll respond. "But he keeps on humming this strange tune no one can identify."

    "We've asked him about it, but he never gives a clear answer. All he ever says is..."

    Blackest Night is turning into another Lost or Fringe for me. I am extremely interested and I promised I wouldn't look into it until it was over but Jesus Christ it's so tempting. I can't tell what hurts more, waiting in ignorance for a hardcover or waiting every week for the next installment. (Note: I gave in to both Lost and Fringe. I have yet to see any Battlestar though. I think I am holding out for Labor Day weekend.)
