Got my hopes up ridiculously high for Flash, and Seaguy should be all kinds of fantastic. However, first read of the week goes to The Boys, which never fails to disappoint.

And, of course, after I've finished with it, I'll be donating it to the Millard, Nebraska school library program.

@kushiro: I hope that Seaguy will fight sentient fast food again.

"The Renaissance/Romantic idea of the special person, the genius, the 'superhero', is dying before our very eyes."

Dear Grant,

You have conflated two different eras of thought with totally different views on what the composition of the ideal man is, and how to achieve it.

Please don't do that.

Thank you for your time.

@Pope John Peeps II: i think he was talking about specialness itself, rather than a specific definition of specialness.

@grime: yeah, but the Renaissance didn't generally believe in the idea of certain "special" people. Just in the general ability of man to transcend his condition through the exercises of rationality. That pursuing rational thought in fact made you into a better person.

The notion of the super-man, or the extraordinary man of genius or ability was pretty much born in romantic poetry.

Excellent. I need more things to read and this looks like a good one.

@oboesqueaks: I wouldn't really call this reading. More like... puzzled viewing?
