I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

Good interview with him and Alan Grant from a decade ago, kinda sucks the way DC treated him though, had no idea about any of it.

It's not the worst policy to assume every creator who's ever worked at the big 2 was treated poorly.

I was just reminded that Nick Spencer is taking over Archie and I'm sad.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

#699 coming out next week is Waid's last issue and sounds like it's just a recap issue to bring in new readers for #700 which is being written by Nick Spencer.

They renumbered back?

Yeah, they're renumbering back. Archie 699 is a recap issue, so 32 was really Mark Waid's last issue. Waid's currently doing an Archie mini now, Archie 1941. It's ok I guess; too early to say. Betty and Veronica is also renumbering back to 1 (after a good long run of 3 issues!).

I already have a preexisting Archie subscription so I'm going to end up owning some of Spencer's issues whether I want to or not; I really didn't like his first issue of ASM but I'm hoping he's less inclined to burn Archie's life to the ground than he is for Peter. I'll probably post a trip report when it comes out.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
I think I came up with the dumbest way you can number comics. Every odd number issue is numbered with the issuse number in the current series. Every even number issue is given the issuse number of that run over all from the beginning. So you would go 33, 788, 35, 790, etcetera.

I call it "Marvel Legacy."

I liked the first issue of Archie 1941, but it's tonally a 180 from the main book, being a serious look at teens staring down a world war rather than a silly comedy where serious things sometimes happen.

Tried my usual visit to the gym this afternoon and I just couldn't hack it. Just felt completely drained out - no energy for exercise whatsoever. Half an hour on an exercise bike, a few weights and that was it, which is rubbish. I know this has nothing to do with comics and I know it's trivial but I'm very frustrated about it and wanted to vent - I won't do it again. Does anyone else ever have days like that?

All the time man. As long as you can stay determined and not give up you'll be fine. Just don't let a bad day get you down.

What, supplements and that kind of thing? Nah, I've never used any of that stuff.

It was really strange because I went down to the gym and I felt like I was ready to go and get really stuck in but then almost as soon as I got started I just felt like, "Nope, it's not happening today."

Well pre-workout is basically just powderized caffeine with L-Citrulline andsome flavoring in it. There's some that have stuff like creatine or amino acid chains in them too. It could help you if it starts to become a regular thing.

I ordered some books from a shop who inadvertently sent me someone else's order, which included Batman Damned.

Is that an unsolicited Batdick pic?

you just know that DC is gonna react to this batman's dick thing the wrong way. They're gonna see that issue going for fifty buck on ebay, decide that the fans want genitals, and a year from now do a Bottomless Month where every comic features the superhero's genitals exposed throughout.
