let's talk comics.

Ultimate X-Men update: I can't begin to say how much I loved Magnetic North. Not only the writing was flawless, but Steve Immonen might be my new favorite illustrator for X-Men (and can't they keep him? For like, for good? Pretty please?). It was beautifully drawn, and wow, his inker and colorist are wonderful too. The Story was great! All that lovely plot and so many mutants and so many different points of view - just wow. This one and 'Return of the King' are my favorite arcs.

I haven't gone to the movies for almost a week and a half. This is le sad, and I wanted to go today (to see anything at this point, although I do wanna see 'Monster House' and 'My Super Ex-girlfriend'). 'Thumbsucker's finally out, though, I'll try and go by myself in the week.

I read vol. 4 of The Sandman yesterday, and man, how awesome it is. Still not as good as vol. 2, but it was soooo well done.

I'm writing! I've only like, 300 words, but it's something. Ergo Proxy, though. Post ep 13 but taking some elements from ep 14.

I'm kinda stuck at the moment, though, so, so get my creative juices flowing (and doesn't that sound odd?), I'll write sentence-long fic to whoever comments with a fandom, pairing, and prompt. Go nuts.

And, uh, people I still owe drabbles to, I do still remember about it. They'll be written. Eventually. *cough*

Ah, I'm loving Anansi Boys, Spider reminds of another character, now I can't remember if it was one of Gaiman's or another authors, but it's been bugging me for a while now. I love it though, and it is very funny. I love how he describes the old Gods as well life in Florida.

You are the best. Do you know that? Because I can't believe you managed to use hippos as a prompt. Completely loved it, sexy and everything *hugs*

Really? Don't remember? It's as if he had SIRIUS written on his forehead! (weeeell, not exactly, but that larger-than-life personality? Definitely alike) I love how the tone changes subtly all during the book, even if it's never as opressing as American Gods.

Haha, I was like, '...hippos. Mmm...' and then it hit me XD Glad you liked it, hon!

It could be Sirius, but I think I thought of someone else, but of course now I can't think of it. I have to agree, I liked the tone of the book. I usually don't like it when things end so tidy in books, but here it worked. I guess it had to do with the optimistic tone the book ended in. In the end Fat Charlie reminded me a little of Shadow.

AND THE LIME! DON'T FORGET THE LIME! XD (I especially love it when Neil Gaiman himself starts rambling about how much he'd like it if people were to randomly give him limes). I hadn't thought about it, but you're right, both of them have that 'have matured and grown up' glow about them, in the end, how they've been changed along the way. I remember I smiled so much at that moment when it just says 'Charlie', and he finally earns his name. :)

AHH! Yes, the lime! It makes me want to go to St. Andrews and walk around carrying a lime. If I ever meet Neil, I'll make sure to have a lime ready, haha. Yeah, both Charlie and Shadow finally realized who they were and understood the part of them that was part God.

Oh, I liked in the end when Charlie says he sometimes misses being called Fat Charlie.
