Is this some Elsewords-style crap, or are they really killing MJ? Or does he have another wife on the side he reserves his dangerous spunk for?

I just wanna say that when I read it didn't sound so stupid (to me).
The Grant / Breyfogle run on Detective is one of my (if not my) favourite Batman run!. So many good jokes, Breyfogle in state of grace and some of the longest running "new" villains created from the 80's onward.
And about Cameron Stewart: read "The Other Side" last week and it's another "war is hell" story, but told in such way that it resembles more a mix between an old E.C. horror story and an old E.C. war story. Great, great, stuff.

I recently read Black Hole for the first time, and I liked the athmosphere in the comic a lot, but the whole thing felt a bit too vague. I mean, what was the "disease" supposed to be a metaphor for? Youthful alienation? If so, why was it so closely connected to (fear of) sex? I guess AIDS is the easiest answer (the people who get the disease are treated kinda like HIV positive), but it seems a bit too obvious.

If you like the writer, Mark Waid, though, you should really check out his new Legion stuff. It's much more fun, and just as "epic."

If you like Dark Knight Returns, I'd highly recommend looking into BATMAN: YEAR ONE, which is also by Frank Miller but with David Mazzuchelli (very elegant, with an extraordinary sense of design) on art. Some people (one of whom happens to be me) consider it a better story.

Mazzuchelli is an odd one - his late superhero comics are much more interesting than his subsequent 'art comix' series Rubber Blanket, which seemed a gratuitous pointless denial of the artist's phenom drawing/craft skillz

i STILL haven't been to the comic book store in weeks. i should go today. maybe i will go RIGHT NOW. hrmr. i bet i've already missed a lot of titles fer goods. i hate it when this happens. no comic shop close to my house means i don't want to make a stop in the wet & cold between work/home.
also of possible interest, peter bagge drew this ad for the store i work at:http://a960.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/1/l_e618959c5b46d2b82997bfbdc806f23f.jpg

Anyway, Showcase Aquaman is Aqua-Awesome. VERY kid-oriented. Sorta like the Flintstones, where the most fun is in seeing prehistoric animals playing records, washing dishes, etc, only the underwater animals that do the same in Aquaman never make wisecracks. So far my favourite story is "Aquaman's Sea Animal Hospital", which is a very gentle and non-violent story about Aquaman opening a Sea Animal Hospital (duh) and helping his finny friends (many of which don't actually have fins--there seems to be a rather loose definition of "fish" in these stories). And then, quite suddenly and abruptly, SEA PIRATES SHOOT AQUAMAN DEAD! I won't spoil the story for you, but, um, I'm so happy I got this volume. I'm still not sure if I'll continue buying the Showcase series unabated, but, whatev.

AQUAMAN EVEN HAS THE POWER TO MAKE A STORY WITH THE SILVER AGE GREEN ARROW IN IT GOOD. That's saying something.

* "Superman For All Seasons" trade* "Batman: Year 100" trade* "Showcase Presents: Shazam!" (like Huk, I am starting to think that all this showcasing might be filling up my shelves too much - but Matthew's description of this really made me curious)* "Popeye" (lol collection is hueg)
Am I about to have fun? YES I AM!
I also saw this thing there called "Scooter Girl", which I was torn about - on the one hand, I just can't stand manga, but on the other, I am a total sucker for tweeness, soap opera and Swingin' London bullshit. Anyone know anything about this?

Honestly, I think my estimation of CW would've increased 100 fold if a monkey with Tourette's and no frontal lobe wrote the dialogue instead of MM. Hope he's putting more effort into his JPEG fumetti!
