Scene from Lucas' new movie: 'Star Wars: 3 Ninjas in Space'. More pics at my Flickr page. Had a 3-day pass but only went there for 2. Too many people on Saturday. Plus a storm didn't make the commute any easier. I think it's best to be inside by morning to avoid the crowd which swells in the afternoon.

Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra bring the curtains down on the adventures Yorick and his monkey Ampersand in a world where all the men died and women were left to carry on. The last issue is certainly didn't deviate too much from the general tone of the series: rife with pop-culture references, a great balance of humor and pathos, and an ending which flew in the ...

I wasn't going to pick this up since I've had my fill of Mike Carey stories. What got me was the gorgeous artwork by John Bolton.

The queen in the book's title is Queen Titania of the Fairy folk. The Fairy Queen got herself in ...
