My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great stories, all, but my favorite was probably Sunbird, the one he wrote as a birthday present for his daughter.

Batwoman: Elegy HC

Batwoman: Elegy HCBatwoman: Elegy HC by Greg Rucka

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great story, of course, but absolutely heart-achingly beautiful artwork. J.H. Williams III makes you want to start/keep drawing/painting, whatever, but at the same time, you think there's no way you'll ever be that good. Must be like a wanna-be guitar player listening to Clapton or Santana.

FreakAngels (Volume 5)

FreakAngels vol. 5 starts today with a great re-cap of the series. Good starting point for anyone that isn't already reading it every Friday.

Kung Fu Monkey: RERUNS: "Wait, Arent You Scared?"

Maybe it's just, I cast my eyes back on the last century ...

FDR: Oh, I'm sorry, was wiping out our entire Pacific fleet supposed to intimidate us? We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and right now we're coming to kick your ass with brand new destroyers riveted by waitresses. How's that going to feel?

CHURCHILL: Yeah, you keep bombing us. We'll be in the pub, flipping you off. I'm slapping Rolls-Royce engines into untested flying coffins to knock you out of the skies, and then I'm sending angry Welshmen to burn your country from the Rhine to the Polish border.

US. NOW: BE AFRAID!! Oh God, the Brown Bad people could strike any moment! They could strike ... NOW!! AHHHH. Okay, how about .. NOW!! AAGAGAHAHAHHAG! Quick, do whatever we tell you, and believe whatever we tell you, or YOU WILL BE KILLED BY BROWN PEOPLE!! PUT DOWN THAT SIPPY CUP!!

... and I'm just a little tired of being on the wrong side of that historical arc.

Yeah, it's a rerun of his, but oh so relevant..

The Black Widow just doesn't look right wearing white


And she really needs to zip up the front of her jumpsuit before she catches a chest cold.
