... I just happen to be the proud owner of the first mini of Six from Sirius, following your posts about it Fickles.
...went to a big garden centre for...gasp...Christmas things. Not at my own suggestion I hasten to add. The year before the latest financial meltdown I went to the same place. I'd just moved into a new house, and needed a new set of decorations. I picked up everything I could possibly want (at very good prices - Frugal Puss Lad).
Unfortunately, it's been the best year there by far. They spent years just getting rid of the left over stock from that first year. The things that no one really wanted, before getting any additions/replacements in. So, I'm always reminded about the impact of these serial disasters on businesses when I go there at this time of year.

Great! I can't wait ...
...until after the Avengers run, the Legion Archives, the Knights of the Galaxy, Atari Force and the Zero Patrol reviews are done.

I've no doubt since it's a new toy, they will get read soon enough. It's a cracking first issue cover. There, that's my issue 1 review started I got all four in one baggie. I can only hope that issue 3 hasn't been replaced by a Justice League Task Force issue.

Hopefully not, although JLTF 7-8 are a great gender-bending 2-parter guest-written by Peter David.

Is that the one where Martian Manhunter becomes Miss Martian (I was always waiting for that reveal anyway.)?

Not quite. He reluctantly becomes "Joan J'onzz" and leads a team consisting of Gypsy, Wonder Woman, Vixen, Dolphin, and Maxima into a world inspired by H. Rider Haggard's "She" (PAD makes the tribute quite obvious.) PAD gave Gypsy most of the best lines, and it was thanks to that story that I finally learned to like Gypsy.

Funny you should use the word "dragged", Ibby, after what Thoth and I were talking about in the posts just above yours.

There's no bad characters, only bad writing.
Except for Tigra.
And Psylocke.
And Rage.
And...OMG, I've just disproven my own theory.

Well, some bad characters are meant to be loathed. Like Preboot Atmos. Or Threeboot Ultra Boy.

Unfortunately, it seems like for every one character we can love to hate, there's five characters that are simply hateful.

I think he is although I wouldn't be surprised if Psylocke becomes the next Wolverine...

Then X-23 could kill her, and SHE'D be the new Wolverine. I'd quite like that (the killing Psylocke part, not anything else about that whole notion.)

Today, we should make a list of all comics characters who must die.
And never come back that is. Almost everyone comes back these days.

...think the last couple dozen posts in this thread should teleport to a "Characters to Be Killed" thread. ;-)
