"You Still Buy your Comics?"
What trade paperbacks do you recommend an ex-reader who is looking to sample something great?

That's the question I faced when my brother came to visit Tuesday from Chicago.

We tried to turn him on to "Cable & Deadpool," but my bro just couldn't get past the Rob Liefeld cover.

"But most of the book has nothing to do with Liefeld!" we assured him. But no dice.

We settled on:

1) Invincible Vol. 1
2) Fantastic Four: 1 2 3 4
3) What If? Vol. 1

Of course, we pushed the books on him despite the fact that he kept saying:

"But I can download any of this for free..."
"Read them on the plane!"


Big Laffs
I know this is off-topic, but watching Jessica Alba in the commercial for that "Good Luck, Chuck" movie makes me want to burn my eyes out. I love the scene with the obese African-American woman jumping Dane Cook. As Hollywood knows, there's nothing funnier than an obese African-American woman.

Begs to differ:


"Don't Work With Kids Or Animals"

These damn Flash kids are like the Jessica Alba/Ryan Reynolds of "Blade 3" -- kinda cute but don't need them, don't want them. They are like Brian Bonsall in stereo.


Also,Are these guys dead yet? Please?

Yeah, I know Dini was going for "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern." He got "Lenny & Squiggy."


Paul Gulacy Week Is Next Week On "OS"!


Dude!


Writing Exercise For All You Aspiring Comic Authors
Here is your panel. Write the next scene:


Dammit!
Jamal Igle is pencilling "Countdown: The Search For Ray Palmer: Wildstorm." Now I gotta buy it. Even though it violates my policy of never purchasing any comic with two colons in the title.


"Come Out With Your Hammer Up!"
If Thor & his neo-Asgardians get holed up in that fortress floating above Oklahoma and the Bureau of Tobacco & Firearms get called in -- it's gonna get ugly!


Buy the "Sullen Grey" Trade Paperback!

Do you like how I fit that in?
But really, Jocelyn Gajeway and Drew Rausch's gothic thriller is a hoot:

Welcome to Autumn's Grove, a quaint little town where your fears manifest, then devour you whole. Only a few people are willing to face the madness lurking behind the facade, and not all of them will survive. Includes deleted scenes, a brand new short story entitled 'Fear,' and creator commentary!

All for $19.95, or half the price if you use this service.
Pre-order from Diamond now!

Well, that's all the time we have for "Fangirl Fridays" today! I know it's a little more terse yet strangely peppy than usual, but I have a little tummy ache (delicate flower that I am) and I've gotta make it short tonite.

I want to leave you with the velvet vocal stylings of Christopher Lee:
