Comics, and Rants, and Orli-snark, and Such

Had a pretty nice weekend. Got another package from j_crew_guy on Saturday (it's got a lil' Darkseid, awww ;D), went to a comic show on Sunday and spent way too much money on kewl stuff including some Impulse, Sandman, and G.I. Joe. Found something for j_crew_guy there too. *bg*

So, everything was all good. Then, I came home, checked my flist, and found the posts from thete1, and scans_daily about how my favorite fuckwit has once again pissed all over the comics that I love.

I'm gonna rant here so the letter I write to the editorial staff will sound professionally detached and not like the ravings of a deranged fangirl, which I am at the moment.

( Cut for those who don't care... )

Also, thank you to thete1 because this explains so well just what draws me to comics -

It's not the "Identity Crisis"-type storylines which bring us to the proverbial yard -- even though I, for one, quite enjoyed IC -- it's the generations of history, it's the legacies, it's the decades of slow, cautious character-building. It's the *world*, and the way it turns quite slowly, indeed.

That's it perfectly. You're awesome, Te. *g*

Ended Sunday by fastforwarding through the VMAs to get to the good(Orlando) parts. Loved the bit before one of the commercials where he remarks about the weather and then says "But we haven't been shot yet." Hee. Snarky.
