Oooooh, that’s a nice effect!

what kind of name is amy for a man
December 8th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
What kind of name is Amy for a male poodle?
An exciting name.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
your puctual response to my comment does not intimidate me, sir

The snow effect across the page has me pondering when Jack Frost is going to appear to tell us that our sentence is up.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
I wish “all manner of obstacles” had had the caveat ‘real or imagined’ at the end, and then I would say “ohh, it’s the latter does me in.”
December 8th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Oh – the snow effect, I think the wordpress frontpage has it? Ask Zom I suppose, plok – does Trout i/t Milk not have it? Supervillain? I only read feeds so haven’t noticed.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Yeah, it’s a wordpress.com thing. Can be activated through ‘extras’on the wp.com dashboard
December 9th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Ah!

Is the comic book author Take Lessdaughters posting comments on your blog with the name “Gunderic Mollusk”, joking on the joke-names??
December 12th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
I dunno, is s/he?
Being a bit of a late birth, I’m glad that Final Crisis has created a vessel to improve my understanding of what made Barry Allen and Hal Jordan as interesting as many make them out to be. I competently interacted with DC while Wally and Kyle were in the Flash and GL thrones respectively, and the seas of subjective angry nerd opinion-shooting turned me off to both legacies for a long time. Barry’s unflappability and Hal’s intrepidness really shine through in this story, and I feel like I can see the why these figures, through that lengthy process of bouncing around the collective unconscious, have come through as legendary.

Is the comic book author Take Lessdaughters…?
I must confess the reference is completely lost on me.
December 12th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Yep
December 12th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
The last time I was this excited waiting for something was ….. the night before Final Crisis number five!
December 12th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
2200 words at the mo’, and just starting in on page 9.
I reckon it ain’t gonna get finished tonight.
:(
December 12th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
Sweet, now I don’t have to check the page while I get hammered, and I’ll also be sober to read it. Cheers, guys, and thanks as always.
December 13th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Good stuff. Don’t let anything stand in the way of getting hammered.
I know I don’t
(Just read through the latest draft. Top stuff)

Thought the snow effect was a disturbance in the transmission at first, got really worried that the oracled had plugged out my internet.
December 13th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I’m sitting here in this fucking internet cafe, where I will be all afternoon, slaving away on the FC post. If I don’t finish it today, it’s not because I haven’t tried.
But I’m going to a Xmas party tonight where there will be enormous hammerage – well into tomorrow – so you dudes may have to wait until MONDAY NIGHT!
It’s unlikely, but it could happen.
sorry.
December 13th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Also, I promise this website will speed up again as we approach Xmas. We’re all very busy.
Only I’m not this coming week. Not really. I haven’t actually got anything to do except recover from the weekend, Xmas shop (on amazon) and type, type, type. The others, however, either never actually post or are hard at work, errr, working.
December 13th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Not to worry, sir. I’ll do a shot for the Poodle tonight in your honor.
January 15th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
I love how this same post keeps getting bumped up every time Poodle has something coming
January 16th, 2009 at 2:46 am
I can not wait to hear amy’s thoughts — and to wax poetic myself. It was a beauty of a comic, Six was.
January 16th, 2009 at 5:11 am
this post is #1 on my want list, right now.
So much want.
no pressure or anything, though.
January 16th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Apparently the first draft is being written in longhand. Poodle intends to transcribe it all later today/tonight.
Unless people start sending us preview copies there’s always going to be a wait, I’m afraid. That’s the nature of living in a location where comics don’t hit the shelves until Thursday lunchtime

David, it’s not a post, it’s a communications log downloaded from Gary Lactus’s mothership, which is currently orbiting the rim of the singularity.
Fucksake
January 16th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
I sent amy an email offering him PREVUE-xcite; it was not responded to.
January 16th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
He doesn’t have a whole lot of computer access at the moment, which probably explains things.
January 16th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
I thought this might be tha ish.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
That’s a pretty cool shot of Darkseid, he should change that to his facebook profile pic
February 5th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Darkseid’s a Bebo user if ever there was one.
February 6th, 2009 at 12:21 am
Myspace, friends. He’s out of date
February 6th, 2009 at 12:46 am
You’re out of time (time!). Darkseid’s out of his head when you’re not around…
February 6th, 2009 at 12:46 am
MySpace also makes it clear who’s space it is, now doesn’t it?
Whenever you get this up is great, guys. I’m really enjoying the pieces.
February 6th, 2009 at 10:53 am
Mmm, well, it’s my fault and now I’ve been called into work [4 emergenciez covar] so I’ll try and pooter about and have it up in lunch hour (3 hrs time,) but it’ll not be so good as I’d hoped to make it.
