Oh, look!

The Spirit, Superman, and Scott Pilgrim by Jon Morris!

These are currently on their merry way to me!
I could not be more excited!
Look at all these exclamation marks!!!
And, as a bonus, I'm responsible for one of my favorite artists checking out (and subsequently loving) SCOTT PILGRIM!
I am the champions, my friends!
Hit the link (up there) for Jon's commentary on the matter.
Also, we are now officially even for my mistakingly attributing something Corey Lewis said as something you said, Bryan Lee O'Malley!

You're invincible!

Who knew Superman riding a red dinosaur would someday be declared so universally awesome?


I did.
That's why when the incredible Jon Morris says he will draw something for you, you have to swing for the fences and ask him to draw Superman riding Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur.
And that's just what I did last year.

So, on Monday I told you about this awesome post that Thomas at Say It Backwards had put up about the greatest thing ever purchased for $3.
Well, apparently the person responsible for a blog I love, Super Punch, stopped by in time to catch it.
I'm to understand it started making it's way around to other blogs as well as making a monumentous appearance on another site I love, Neatorama.
Then thanks to Neatorama, it managed to find it's way to Newsarama's blog!
Even though the Newsarama one didn't link back here or anything, it was still really exciting to think that I helped something get to that point.
And I've had a ton of new traffic here today thanks to the ones that did "via" Hip Today.
Maybe some of them will even visit again someday!

See Thomas, I told you SIB was awesome. Aren't you glad you came back to us?
Impossibles continue to be conquered!

Until you kiss me...

The Weekly Crisis has a great piece up on Michael Turner and his fear of feet. Enjoy it as I did.

Also, in case you missed it, last week was the Best Week Ever for comics.
All Star Superman and Scott Pilgrim.
In the same week.
Tons of other great stuff, but really, those two are all I need to mention for you to understand how great it was. If I were a better artist I'd try to draw a picture of the two of them together. They'd probably be high-fiving or something similarly awesome. (Author's note : If you're a great artist and you just read that, you've just read my Christmas wishlist.)

Oh, speaking of awesome Superman team-ups, check out what Jon Morris drew for me!

SUPERMAN AND DEVIL DINOSAUR!
He said it was the weirdest request he'd ever received and there was no way he could turn it down. I win.

So, Rich tells us DC is killing Bruce Wayne, having him come back as a New God in the Fifth World, and be replaced as Batman by Jason Todd as designed by Alex Ross.
That sentence was so insane it could only have come from the mind of Grant Morrison.
And since this is apparently all part of Grant's masterplan, I'm willing to trust him and not get angry with rage over the idea of them killing Batman.
Good luck with the rest of the fanboys though, Grant.

Go ahead, take a peek.

Another of my many powers.

So, Curt and April and I leave for San Diego tomorrow.
For Comic Con.
I'm very excited and also very nervous.
I don't care for flying.
I also have no idea what to expect at the Con.
I have high hopes.
Anyway, I doubt I'll be doing any updating between now and next week so here's a mess o' stuff until then.

Cyclops wants kisses.


Spidey 2099 as drawn by Cory Walker and colored by me.


This is a Superman I drew and colored using a color scheme I borrowed from a Jon Morris picture of Superboy.

This bird likes mixtapes.

Everyone go help Jon Morris get his shirt printed, won't you?
I mean, I want one.
