Happy New Year

*throws some confetti*

Been mainlining the last three trades of Vaughan's Y: The Last Man as I spoiled myself at the comic store. It's a what if only a 20-something guy Yorick and his pet monkey survived a plague that wiped out all the men on the planet comic. Yorick reminds me a little of [livejournal.com profile] spartacusjones.

There are awesome lines like: "Rose, anyone who finds my g-spot on the first try is allowed to call me Allison." and "Please don't. I've seen enough Spock/Bones slash fiction for one night, thanks." Sometimes, I'm just like 'oh, Vaughan, you're such a fanboy and Yorick's just your little Mary Sue. It's cute.'

Also the last issue of New Avengers rocked my world with Hawkeye/Scarlet Witch. Dude. Just dude. This is why I *heart* Bendis.

Then I read New Avengers: Illuminati and it sucked. It was like the crappy fanfic Bendis dug out his closet because Quesada made him do it. Because I really believed at any moment that they were going to kill Xavier, Iron Man, Black Bolt, the Atlantean Prince, Reed Richards, and Dr. Strange. Ummm...no.

Okay, neighbors, why are you playing loud music now. It's over a half hour after the New Year. Seriously, this is why I didn't go to bed earlier.

1) Happy New Year
2) Reminds you a little of me? I must investigate. Doubly so because someone recommended Y: The Last Man to me...

Happy New Year! (You know, I'm never sure whether to capitalise that or not, so eh...)

I hate the whole "woo! It's the new year so let's fire explosive devices into the air and play loud music" thing. Especially when it's right outside OUR FUCKING BEDROOM WINDOW.

Reading your comic-related posts makes me wish I read comics more often...

*glomp*

Happy New Year. (Yes, capitalize it.)

Ugh. Yeah, my bedroom window faces the parking lot so I get a lot of car noise.

You should always read comics. ;)

*glomps back*

I gave Essene vols 3 and 4 of The Last Man for Christmas. We'll get the next two in January for her birthday, then the rest in February for my bday. It's my first book ever and I really love it.

They are damn good comics. Usually, I'm not big on non-supernatural, non-superhero comics, but I'm really enjoying it.

I love Yorrick. I'm at least two trades behind though. They're somewhere in this room...

I can't decide if I'm happy to be caught up or a little sad. Of course, I'm sure I can find other trades to buy while waiting for next one.

yes to the Y:tLM love!

the fact that there isn't an active femslash fandom for that comic? is one of the (many) reasons I'd like to bitch slap femslash fandom as a whole.

I mean, seriously.

(also, I've added you. not that you should care, but. I don't do this often, so I have no clue about protocols. *is a douche*)

[identity profile] viciouswishes.livejournal.com 2007-01-02 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd definitely think that there would be more femslash for it. (I'd probaly write some myself if I was more inclined toward lit-based fandoms. It took X-Men having movies before I started reading X-Men fic.)

(Adding me is a-okay. I have those "someone added you" notices sent to me. (Yeah for lj actually improving something.) But thanks for letting me know.)

Ooh, I love Y: The Last Man. I buy it in tradeback, and I always get so tempted during the breaks to just buy the monthlies too.

And, wow, they found Scarlet Witch? I seriously have not been to a comic book store in way too long.

I figure that I can wait as sometimes reading comics reminds me of why I don't read WIPs.

They just found her this issue. Well, Clint found her after Dr. Strange told him that no one had been able to find her and that he hadn't sensed her magics.
