Monday Morning Commute: Peepuhlz of Erph
Hey there!
How’s it going? If you’re a citizen of the Empire like I am, then chances’re that you might have the day off of work for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. I’d like to think that I’m going to spend the day contemplating the racial disparity that’s marred the history of the United States. Perhaps I could even set aside some time to figure out a way to try to oppose the inequality that lingers to this day.
But the fact is that I’m more apt to sleep in late, eat pizza, and straight-chill.
Hey! Don’t judge me! I’m just bein’ honest! If you know something I can do to help the world, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. But if nothing else, I’ll probably figure out some nerdy way to empathize with racial tensions.
Okay, okay – thissere’s the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! I’m going to show you the different bits of entertainment I’ll be using to assemble my own anti-stress mech. After you check out the ways I’m going to entertain myself through the workweek, your task is to hit up the comments section and show off your own wares. Yes, this is essentially show-and-tell, minus the rules and kindergarten teacher who was probably hot back in the 1970s but is now a crabby old bitch.
Let’s rock.

Mark Millar and Frank Quitely Team Up For ‘Jupiter’s Children’. Okay, I’m Pumped.
Just yesterday at the Funny Book Palace as Rendar and I were snagging new comics I got into one of my Millar rants. Condemning his shock-value bullshit and everything he’s turned into while simultaneously stating I couldn’t dismiss the backlog that made me fall in love with him. Mentioned I loved his run on The Authority with Quitely, and goddamnit now they’re teaming up again.
And it excites me.

No, I’m not going to bash JL as usual just because it’s a Geoff Johns post! In fact, I rather enjoy this insight of his into how working under the consideration that his work will be going digital affects how he approaches the writing process.
‘Captain America & Bucky’ Becoming ‘Captain America & Hawkeye’ Why.
I was just bemoaning the lack of consistency in Marvel’s titles these days, with a ridiculous amount sporting amorphic titles and numbering. Just bemoaning it! Then I caught this. Captain America & Bucky is becoming Captain America & Hawkeye, but should really be titled There’s A Fucking Avengers Movie, Guys!
Estimates: Marvel Edges Out DC For Top Spot. Take That, New 52!

Grant Morrison Gets His Own Convention. No Srsly.
Grant Morrison is getting his own convention. As a devout acolyte of his, I’m having difficulty expressing how fucking excited just the fact that this exists makes me.
