    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

    Six is most emphatically NOT a sexbot. In her stead, I offer Mr Universe's lovebot from Serenity.

    Yes, the robot can have sex with me. But I'm not really turned on until it can raise me from the dead when I've been shot. Thank you, Sky-Doll.
