Franklin Harris makes me glad I didn't pick up the Superman/Batman series. I never intended to, though I was mildly tempted. Seems I chose wisely.

Is it just me, or does Pop Culture Gadabout always take at least two minutes to load? It's too good a blog to not read, but it always loads so slow... I hope it's just a symptom of me running old software on my ancient computer, but it still irks me.

Big Sunny D has a pleasant lovefest for his favorite comic book: Hellboy. The only Hellboy story I have read is the Pancakes story he mentions at the end, and I loved it. I've avoided Hellboy mostly because I'm not a big fan of Mike Mignola's artwork (although I've noticed that's changing as I grow older). As if Big Sunny D's thoughts aren't enough, PvPonline has a little tribute, too. This entry is for Carol.
