Easily The Best Line In X-Statix #1 By Peter Milligan and Michael Allred:

“Guys…if you can’t behave, I’m going to have to insist on separate shower arrangements.”

You sort of need the context.

Just How The Heck Did The Superman Of The Future Punch A Hole Through Time?

There’s an interesting Grant Morrison interview in Sequential Tart which does more than just hype The Filth and New X-Men – he actually spends most of his time talking about music and the relationship between different artistic mediums. I’m pretty happy to see that the man is rediscovering his Doom Patrol work, which remains my favorite thing that he’s done, barring the Kill Yr Boyfriend one-shot.

I just re-read a bunch of Doom Patrols and they were fucking brilliant. I’m a little ashamed that I would never dare end the X-Men on a full-page cliffhanger featuring a floating pyramid and a Satanic Noel Coward lookalike with a periscope in his head shouting the words ‘REVERTH MY BUTTOCKTH SERGEANT MAJOR!’

I especially like how Grant talks about Frank Miller, which echoes a lot of my feelings about that man’s work, though Grant is a lot more diplomatic than I am:

Dark Knight seems strange to me nowadays, I have to admit, not least for the pall of right-wing terror and repressed homo-erotic longing which hangs over every page. It’s a little raw to read now but I think it’s a great, honest work and deserves its place in the pantheon. It’s also one of the key American texts of the Reagan ’80s along with Rambo and American Psycho…I loved his Daredevil: Born Again and Robocop 2, but his work is otherwise not to my taste generally. All that hardboiled- noir-crotch-sweat does nothing for me.
