So, I went to get comics today

And accidentally bought most of Rucka's Lazarus. (what can I say, I'm a sucker for robot/cyborg/genetically-engineered girls and their twisty family relationships). It's very good, not pulling a lot of punches and is basically a mashup of a bunch of different things (scheming families, post-apocalypse, family loyalty, etc.) that I generally find entertaining.

I finally got the second and third issues of Ms. Marvel. It's cute. It reads pretty quick, but I don't feel as much interest as I'd like (it is, at least, less dull than Rocket Girl).

Elektra - weird, but good. And the lady with the 20's flapper ensemble was amazing (can we just cast, like, Tilda Swinton as the Matchmaker?)

Before I went, I pulled all the comics off the shelf to determine what I needed (I was missing an issue of Deadpool and two of Ghostbusters), and then didn't clean up.

Which meant Quin decided to get in on the comics action (after I'd sorted in the new books)


(I did consider putting more than one issue of Velvet on top of her)

From left to right:
Ms. Marvel (and Black Widow, Elektra and Painkiller Jane iirc.)
Deadpool (the issue that suckered me into buying it)
Saga (not sure the issue)
Velvet
Pretty Deadly (issue five)
Ghostbusters (can't really be seen, but they're the pile cross-ways and under the cat with Saga sitting on top of them)

Also, it occurs to me, oh Marvel editors and writers, that if you wrote a Kitty Pryde and Illyana Rasputin and Rachel Summers team-up, that I would be like OMG TAKE MY MONEY NOW at you.

I mean. As long as Bendis wasn't writing it (could you get Ellis or Cornell? Maybe throw in Faiza Hussain and Jacqui Falsworth-Crichton?)
