Don't make me post the NSFW "Superman dropping a George" pic.

Anyone else got the feeling that Vincent, quite frankly, seemed like the sweetest man that could've ever existed in one of these "comic book guy" conventions?????? (yeah i got that huge dude from Simpsons as an example, sure... And now I've just read the thread, yeah Barbelith got some too)

I have a hunch that was to contrabalance all the scottish-Dane-from-trainspotting-psycho punk that I always imagined him to be (my imagination is really daft).

07:35 / 07.10.05

Hahahahaaa! The Invisibles creator has posted on teh intarweb!

Now look what you've done Grant, you've derailed the fucking Superman thread!

I think he was having a bad day and that just pushed him over the edge Haus. You know he loves you really. I still think he should post more often though. The best thing we could probably do is to get the thread back on topic, I'm sure that's what he'd want.

You worked that out with telepathy, Eon?

09:23 / 07.10.05

You worked that out with telepathy, Eon?

Yes!

Nah, it's all dirty lies. I thought I'd make something up, then see if he posted back telling me I was full of shit, then get him to post more, and THEN we can finally harass him into making Marvel Boy 2.

Erm........

I'm curious to see what the Solaris storyline's going to be like. I mean, it's your actual sun. So how much interaction is it going to be able to have with anyone other than a space-faring Superman? I seem to recall it hovering around with Vandal Savage in One Million so presumably it can come down to Earth and buzz about.

Why not let the poor bugger replace the sun. He just wants to make us warm.

I just want GM to bring the Zombie Sun into it too. Malton on an interplanetary scale.

"I know it's coming,
There's gonna be violence"

sings Robbie Williams succinctly characterising his own, and my, excitement about ASS #1.

If the comic's even half as much fun as the last few pages of this thread have turned out to be, it'll be Eisner material for sure...

back to the topic- I'm getting unreasonably excited about the Bizzaros as a zombie-style menace. Bizarro, like The Scarecrow, is one of those characters that it sems to be very easy to do very badly, but which has great potential when done well. I'm hoping GM'll pull it out of the bag. I'm quietly confident on this one.

12:20 / 07.10.05

I'm excited at the thought of Quitely drawing hundreds of Bizarros. Sod it, I get excited at the thought of Quitely drawing anything. The curtains, a bath, breath...

The l'il Solaris buzzing around Earth (or was it Mars?) with Vandal Savage was a hologram, or whatever the 826th (?) Century equivalent is, if I remember correctly.

13:27 / 07.10.05

Now I'm wondering if I should change my username....

ONLY NICE THINGS

13:29 / 07.10.05

We all think of you as George anyway.

13:34 / 07.10.05

Or change it to "kristan".

13:42 / 07.10.05

Ha! I thought you were the real GM for ages, grant.

I am, right now, rolling up a newspaper with which I will reach through the computer and whap Hector on the back of the head.

Harry Christmas makes me think that maybe I should qualify my name, although I never have (and don't anywhere else on the web... except LiveJournal, where I stalked the holder of the "grant" username until he barred my comments. Poor boy.)

On the other hand, it's just five letters people use to talk to me.

Weird story about "George": at the same time I kind of "branded" myself as grant (released a home-recorded album, performed out a little, started using this new thing called email), I'd often share a stage with a guy named George. Except, I should say A Guy Named George. I called him George for the better part of a year before he told me his real name (which I've forgotten, though I think it was Gerald). Years earlier, an open-mic host kept calling him George until finally he started using that as his stage name. A Guy Called George. He was pretty good, too. It was pretty jarring, though, when he finally outed himself to me. I was recording him at the time. In my bedroom.

I'm rotting the thread in a self-indulgent way. Sorry.

18:57 / 07.10.05

Right, after last night, I am going to install a new program on my computer, which will switch on when I try to access Barbelith.

Me: Hello, Barbelith.

Barbelith Interface Tipsiness Confirmation Herald(BITCH): Hello, Adam.

Me: I'd like to log on, please.

BITCH: It is a bit late, Adam. Are you sure you haven't been drinking?

Me: We-eee-eeeeeellll...

BITCH: Yes?

Me: I may have had an ickle tiny drink...

And then, of course, ACCESS DENIED, I think...Sorry about all that.

Right. When can I look at Grant's ASS, then?

21:54 / 07.10.05

I think "Increasinly Irrelevant One-Man Cliche" would be a great band name ... even if a mouthful in Manhattan.

09:36 / 08.10.05

Could someone drag this thread back to the topic and nail it down? I was enjoying it.

09:50 / 08.10.05

Agreed. Whatever the specifics of the Haus / Morrison situation (which I'm not going to go into, except to say way to defuse an awkward situation, kids), one thing is clear - this whole conversation should have hapened in the Policy or the Conversation and this thread should get back to talking about people rocketed from their home planets as infants. If that seems impossible, I'm going to recommend to the moderators that they lock the thread and start a new one.

10:20 / 08.10.05

I'm looking forward to this, even though the ASBatman was a major disappointment. That is, I was really looking forward to this, until I read the DC up-and-coming page that you find in books nowdays, and saw DiDo or whatever his name is talking about it, and I just find him to be, I don't know, unsavory, something about him sits badly in my mind. That and the quote 'the best superman stories I have ever read' being attributed to Frank Quitely - it just made my mind shut down with over-hype. I'm bored of hype, hype is the dark killer. Maybe a bit of a side-point and possibly one for a new thread, but relevant here - does anyone else find the preview pages of comics a real let-down? Something about them either spoils the pace of a book for me, or just does nothing. Anyway, part of me still wants to see this book - especially as the DCU is in such a hype-mega-crisis-infinite fug at the moment, that it'll be nice to get some stories that aren't caught up in the mess.
