    What was the name of that comic you guys were talking up awhile ago, the one with the girl who gets hit with fragments of an exploded military armor suit, that turns her into this witchblade knockoff? Was looking for it the other day, but couldn't remember the name of it for the life of me. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    Also, I'm totally gaga over Air. I really couldn't tell you why but I absolutely love it.

    Her previous book, Cairo was also really good too. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    One not mentioned but worth checking out if you want a fun story about a girl who whenever she falls asleep she finds herself in an extremely realistic American Revolution setting that may or may not be real. It's a little girly but I am absoulutely in love with The Dreamer. It started as a web comic here:

    [thedreamercomic.com]

    But it's also available single issue and the first trade is out. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    @Sunshineyness: At first I thought you were going to mention "Dreamless", a web comic set in Hawaii and Japan just before 12/7/1941. An American girl and a Japanese boy who, when asleep, see through the eyes of the one who is awake.

    I was reading Air up until some stupid flying machine showed up, at which point I gave up.

    Resurrection is completely awesome, though I do kind of miss the old artist...

    A book I cannot recommend more is CHEW, over at Image. It's such a great story, with a lot of interesting threads, fun art, and great characters. One of the the most fun I've had reading a comic book in YEARS.

    Also, BPRD: 1947, if just for the combination of Fabio Moon's art, and Gabriel Ba, two of the best artists in the business (IMHO). #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    @PVIII: I have the exact experience. Once Air started looking like something out of early 70s Mad (or, candidly, King City, which suffers the same problems in art and conception) it lost me

    Big fan of Chew as well, but, speaking of Gabriel Ba, am perhaps most anxious (hoping?) to see the third arc of the Umbrella Academy. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    @thufir_hawat: Ah, aren't we all! I think Way has his hands full with touring, so it might be awhile. But man, is that book always worth the wait!

    I also had a big problem with Air's art. It was very flat, and as you say, 70s Mad. Would've really benefited from a more surreal artist (like Weldele or Jock or something...).

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes CHEW! I'm sure it'll be a movie or TV show soon enough (really has all the trappings)...not that it's necessarily a good thing. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    I read a preview of Air somewhere (in the back of a Fables comic, maybe?), and thought it sounded fascinating. I'll have to go pick up those collections. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    In reply to 5 US Presidents Best Equipped To Handle An Alien Invasion
    Lincoln by far, he presided over the most bloody war in our history (US) and put the union back together. You can't beat Lincoln, as long as he has the Amazing Screw-On Head on our side!

    With him in charge, it would not be all, "Bully" for all you TR fans. But he would win. I like Nixon as a choice, but my only fear is since he was so paranoid- he'd cause the invasion and THEN repulse it.

    Also for those of you enamored with Clinton, I'd suggest the 19th century version of him-- Thomas Jefferson. #usavsaliens

    @radiochief: I was surprised Lincoln wasn't on the list. To paraphrase Janwillem van de Wetering in one of his mystery novels: "When one thinks of the superior man, does not Abraham Lincoln come to mind?" #usavsaliens

    I'm ashamed of all you for allowing the above statement to pass without comment:

    "I'm not making it a story point or anything, but [Clinton] puts his pants on one leg at a time, y'know?"

    Yes, but it's when he takes his pants off that he's REALLY dangerous.

    (Seriously, commenters. . . ashamed) #usavsaliens

    I for one am glad that Nixon made the list. He may be a douche and a horrible president, but he would be exactly what is needed in the event of alien contact. Very careful diplomatic relations trying avoid actual conflict at all cost, since their technology would devastate us in practically any battle. At the same time nuclear weapons would be the only thing with the slightest hope of combating an invasion, and not only would he discretely put plans into place for their use but he would subtly let it be known that he would use them regardless of the cost were we facing invasion. #usavsaliens

    Obama. And it really has nothing to do with him as a president. The generals are going to be the ones laying out the strategy and tactics, and it just so happens our current generals are battle-hardened, have the most advanced weapons humanity has ever seen at their disposal (which you better believe you're going to need in order to fight an advanced intelligence), the largest population of draftable servicemen, and 4000 years of armed conflict to reference for ideas (history is our best teacher). #usavsaliens
