Secrets and Lies

Again, courtesy ComicsContinuum.com, with more likely tomorrow:

"The [comic book] adaptation of Neil Gaiman¹s Neverwhere will be as a nine-issue mini-series written by Mike Carey, with art by Glenn Fabry."

And the new Star Wars title? "Revenge of the Sith."

"But many Americans feel they have lost ground since 2001, and a solid 71 percent are convinced they have received no tax cuts at all. A poll by CBS News and the New York Times in March found that only 22 percent believe the policies of the Bush administration made their taxes go down; 25 percent said their taxes actually went up."

Today's must read:
"We're not in the middle of a war on terror, they note. We're not facing an axis of evil. Instead, we are in the midst of an ideological conflict."

Ten things we didn't know this time last week.

Only a half-assed job today, please fill in the blanks for things I missed. Like, for instance, today's commentary by Iceman.

I always crack up when I save some innocent person, and after I 'arrest' the villain, the victim rushes back to me and says "I hope my kids grow up just like you."

Because, really, I don't think they want their kids looking like ( Collapse )

The other day, I mentioned how much I hate the Vahzilok. I suppose I should mention who I love. It's the Lost. Once I learned the Headmen couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, I got along just fine with them. I mean really, guys.

Least favorite zone, so far: Skyway City. It's just a bitch to get around (without flying, of course.) Although, they *do* have an area called "Land of the Lost," which still cracks me up.
