Anyone read this month's Simpsons comic with Morrison and Millar cameo?

I think Gail Agent-X wrote it. Supposedly it has Mark Millar and Grant Morrison in it.

Flicked thru it in FP yesterday afternoon, while buying Human Target and 1602. Not essential reading: Grant and Mark appear for about four panels, argue over who writes the real X-men, and have a fight. Morrison does call Millar a 'wee baby man', though, so that's sort of amusing.

I'm sure someone out there could scan the pages and post the images up here, to save other 'lithers money.

Thanks for letting me know because I'd been waiting for this for a while and was going to buy this.
Scan it someone!

Gail says a joke was cut out of the final comic:

The Simpsons comics have been fun for a long time. The first 2 years were GREAT, and then it suffered from inexperienced creative teams for a few years. Now the comic is one of the few that I look forward to expectantly. It feels like an episode of the TV show, which is exactly what you want a spinoff comic to be. The best testiment to the comic is that when people talk about favorite Simspons episodes, I often think of ones that were actually comics.

The Bart Simpson comic, however, is exactly what most spinoff comics are. Bland crap by people who don't get why the show is funny in the first place.
