I am weak.

All Star Blankets #9

Topical!

Resurrection Man #27

In the previous issue, a meteor struck Antarctica, creating an area of warped reality. Many heroes came to check it out for some reason, but only Vandal Savage, Immortal Man, and Mitch Shelley are immune.

In this issue, they come across one casualty:


And here's the original/blank:

The Comics Internet

Now that we know Professor X has his own top-level domain, can somebody give Superman .el and Wolverine .bub? Please?

Hey Guy Who's Getting Shot!

Who's your favorite Sergio Aragonés character?

Resurrection Man #14, Abnett & Lanning

Brian K. Vaughan is a sexy, sexy man.

I'm probably the last person to weigh in on Mr. Vaughan's sprawling masterpiece, but I feel that it must be said:

Mystique #2, Vaughan & Lucas

Mystique was pretty fucking awesome.

I'm a walking disaster, I'm a Resurrection Man

This monkey's gone to heaven.

The Filth almost seems like the work of some British Isles-spanning three-headed amalgamation of Morrison, Ennis, and Ellis. It's strange that something so gloriously filthy mostly just made me want to hug my kitty.

The problem with Angel: After the Fall

Now I know what you're thinking.

Uatu, where did you get two hundred and forty dollars?

Hey Bruce, I think that's too big.

In the past...

Uatu watched.

In the future...

(Also worth noting, Joe Orlando, the artist on several Swing With Scooter issues, went on to edit the original Swamp Thing series at DC. Swamp Thing. Coincidence? I think not.)

In which I notice another thing.

Comics fella Warren Ellis:


Musician Warren Ellis:

(See it in action.)

Conclusion: Every Warren Ellis will at some point sport a totally awesome beard.

Therefore: I am going to change my name.
