Vertigo the edge

I have notes on a few panels I wanted to share:

Vertigo:Welcome to the Edge Friday panel 4PM was much better than the Saturday one I hear- that one basically opened the floor to "why Vertigo sucks". That's pretty demoralizing to the excellent creators on the panel...

But Friday, an excellent panel that included favorites Brian Wood, Brian Azzarello and Grant Morrison riffing on Seaguy- and how in the teen Seaguy title matadors will have to dress bulls in stockings--and how Pablo the beekeeper talks like a bee but recorded it will say "you have to get out of here!".

I've read We3 and All Star Superman, and always thought of Grant as very serious in tone and story-- but that accent added to some funny stories. And his pictures always show him not smiling, but he was grinning all over.

Buckingham discussed Fables #75, the big war, big changes issue where "no one is safe" and the "makeup of the homeland changes" It will be a double size 56 pager.

Sad to see The Un-Men end. Also Loveless and 100 Bullets end. Am interested in Air (Cairo writer), The Unknown Soldier, and the Northlanders with Brian Wood teaming with Ryan Kelly (they worked on Local together). Maybe House of Mystery or Madame Xanadu (Matt Wagner). Or Greatest Hits by Tischman and Fabry, about "The Mates"- how superheroes would be like rock stars. The covers are takes on classic albums.

A lot of television use

I meant to post this pic of me with some of my pull list. I have 8 unread comics from the last few weeks to read.

Despite the writers strike, I've been busy watching shows like Project Runway, and while I don't like reality shows, now I've been watching The Biggest Loser. Just watched the first Sarah Conner Chronicles- great to see River from Firefly. And new Daily Shows and Colberts have been keeping Tivo busier than I thought.

And, watching Dexter season 1 on DVD and Doctor Who Season 3. With Torchwood starting this Saturday, and Lost on the 31st, more TV.

Not to mention, The Giants in the Superbowl. Very torn here, because I like Tom Brady and the Patriots (shoreturtle roots Brady because he went to UMichigan) -- but I've been a mild Giants fan if I have to pick a team. The NEW JERSEY Giants-- I hate when they show midtown Manhattan as if that is right next to the Meadowlands, in Jersey! I like both Manning brothers too.

Plus, we got the Wii zapper so it's been Ghost Squad and Link's Crossbow Training. So that Family Room has been in use a lot; guess the cold weather has kept us in a lot.

Although I worked yesterday, had today off for MLK day and we went to see No Country for Old Men. Blood and guns and dusty Texas landscape.

Work has been very busy planning programs and writing annual reports and many patrons. I really deserve a damn promotion.
