Random Thoughts

Larry Young on blogs, with copious commentary from comic book bloggers. Myself included. I still have a couple of books from Larry's big box he sent me that I haven't had time to read and review.

Fanboy Rampage tells us that Mark Millar is absolutely certain who will play Superman, enough to wager $1000 on it. I'm still not convinced, but this is a fun show he's providing for us.

Want to know whether or not Madrox or Strange are good before you buy? Check out the low-res versions available at Mile High Comics. Yup, that's the whole book.

Near Mint Heroes reviews a book I miss a lot and wish would come back.

Speaking of wishing for returns, the latest casualty of real life is Grotesque Anatomy. We'll miss you, man.

Robo-Blammo (look for September 1st entry). I want this book.

As long as I'm mentioning Larry yet again, I think I'd better put in another plug for Ursula, which was thoroughly enjoyable on multiple levels. I had to go back and re-read it again. And the art is just perfection.

SETI has picked up a strange signal... that might even be from space. Yes, don't get excited, because interference by the telescope itself (or something on the ground close to the telescope) has not been ruled out.

I will NOT talk about politics. I will NOT talk about politics. I will NOT talk about politics. I will NOT talk about politics. I will NOT talk about politics.

Ok fine. One item about politics. I've already sent in my absentee ballot. I've already voted in the Washington state primary. No, I didn't pick a party. As far as I'm concerned, if the parties want only party members to vote in their races in the primary then they should pay for their own elections, not force the state to bear the burden. So I only voted in the non-partisan races in the primary.

Here's a picture from Nancy's Garden.
