but now I'm stuck and seriously considering sliding into bed, putting Black Books in the laptop and listening to it while I pretend it's on the radio.
A number of people have commented that had my life gone a slightly different route I could easily have ended up as Bernard - content with nothing more than literature, wine and shouting at strangers. I resent this, but have as yet been unable to refute it.

Skip Hex. I STILL hate Tony Dezunigas art.
I didn't check the names on the front.

Tell me this is just a fill-in and not the new art team...
please...
Everything's so fuzzy and the way Hex's eye is drawn makes hims look suprised all the time.

Oh yeah, I pick up the Thing too...it's the primo reason Dan Slott gets a hug from me if he's ever at a con nearby. I haven't seen such a PERFECT example of how Ben, Franklin, and Reed should be written since....since Waid left.
The scene where Reed realises he
can build the machine is one of those "Whole Character Defined In One Panel" moments. His Sue's a little off though - I see her as a shade more trusting and a shade less stroppy.
The moment between Lockjaw and the Watcher's my favourite bit of the issue. I love how all the comedy arises out of everyone being so
in character that it's painful. I wish more could be done to promote to people that this book is really
Dan Slott Writes The Whole Marvel Universe with Ben as a viewpoint character. Not that Ben's ever sidelined - he's the perfect Anti-Angst character. He's a much more tragic figure than, say, Power Girl. But does his spend his life in moping self pity? No, he works through it with humour and courage. Like adults do.
