Well, let's hope they don't mess this up. :(
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Well, that's good.  And the series will cover the book from back when it was still good.

Well, the whole governor arc is pretty unsurpassed, but the ones after that weren't all bad, either. I especially like the continuing evolution of Carl (the son) and what they did with the twins was a rather evil twist. The cannibal arc ... well, that was very meh, but with the new outpost the series should pick up again with new characters being introduced.

That looks much better than the first trailer I saw.  I think the girl they have playing Carol Ferris is retarded or something.

oh and on the monthly front. JMS @ DC reprort... Superman, going very well... Wonder Woman, not so much, it appears he's going to in the end just retread Alan Moore's Wonder Woman aka Promethea.
Meh Already been done. I'm hoping he'll surprise me and take it a different way, but so far it's just annoying.

recently picked up the Complete From Hell for 10 bucks ! slightly damaged, but fixed by me with a knife and a ruler.

annoying news from DC (with an incidental upside for iphone/pad/other tablet/smartphone people) in September they are restarting all their titles at #1 :sigh: How is that cooler than having a comic like Action which is nearing #1000 in a few years... It's not. just another marketing ploy because apparently new readers think that there is some kind of continuity going on? If you want to pick up an ongoing, just start as a new arc is starting. sheesh.

the upside is that all their comics will come out same day in e-formats. All the companies will be following suit (smaller ones likely already have I imagine)
:p

You know that this is just a temporary thing.  In a year or two, when high numbers come back into vogue (and certainly before Action #1000), they'll switch it back and just count the issues as if they had been numbered properly all along.  They did this a million times during the collector boom.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
