I am a fan of the awesome "white door from out of nowhere." Of course, this is because I am a fan of Quantum Leap.

More specifically, the character of Al from Quantum Leap. Dean Stockwell is totally awesome. Everytime he shows up on Battlestar these days, I have to make some joke about how "Ziggy says you only have a 66% chance of making that work, Sam." Not the most original of comments, but it makes my geeky heart happy.

Frederick the Great is mostly different from Quantum Leap. However, there are some similarities in the "driven by an unknown force to change history for the better" and "striving to put right what once went wrong" parts.

What a weekend it was. Treasure Island Comics, the store that reignited my love of the comic medium and has been steadily supplying my habit for five years now, said good-bye to the estimable Moe as he moves off to lands distinctly not 880-accessible. I shall miss him and his tales of the days of Kirby and Lee.

In the meantime, I have been holed up with the archives of Subnormality, laughing myself into fits of the vapors. Perhaps the only comic in the history of man in which the Berlin Sewer System makes a grand appearance. It's fan-tastic. Check it out!

Fans of FtG will note that this is the second comic in which a dead bird has made an appearance as clothing.
