The DC Inferno: Death of the Family: A Shameless... →
lowsodiumsalt:
I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but I’m only now getting the chance to actually read the Death of the Family arc. I’m only up to issues #14 but I’m already crushing on Snyder’s writing. I’m falling for him the same way I fell for Morrison: all that pretty figurative language.
For example, in…
This, 100%.

issoylentgreen:
This person went through and got word counts for all of Lovecraft’s favorite adjectives. I cannot even express how amusing this is.

Teddy is Billy’s boyfriend.
Obviously, vice versa is true as well. Teddy is Billy’s boyfriend. They’re going out. That’s how it works.

That’s Noh-Varr to you.
That’s Noh-Varr to anyone.
I had to start with Marvel Boy lust because of the news that Bowie was returning to the world stage today. He remains Jamie and my primary influence on the character’s visual and mood (specifically, in the Man Who Fell To Earth period,…

Selectivity
“It seems to me that selectivity, a historically precious and essential element in the great literary process, is disappearing rapidly into Facebook news feeds and Tweets and the endless workshops and slams and literary competitions of our era.
“Selectivity… We have quantity, folks, not quality—but what irks me is that so few of the swarms actually buy the damned books, actually...
