Ray was a trailblazer and a legend.

Most of Boston will sleep well tonight.

Never heard of this book. Have no more interest in it now than I did before.

batlaw, I take it you didn't listen to CGS's annual best of episodes?
SAGA is actually quite good. It is a mature-themed book, and that may be a turn-off for some, especially younger readers, but if you're of a mature age and a fan of sci-fi/fantasy I would highly recommend giving the first trade a chance, which BTW is a steal at $9.99 for six issues.

I find it sad that while Bill Willingham has been forgiven for the controversial statements he made over 20 years ago, Dave Sim seems to be forever damned for his.

People (and that includes comic book creators) are constantly spouting words that other deem controversial. Here are just a few examples: http://comicsbulletin.com/columns/958/top-ten-controversial-quotes-from-comic-book-creators/

In my experience, the manner in which someone responds to their accusers can be instrumental in quelling the controversy, or conversely perpetuating it. By requesting people formally declare their allegiance to him, Dave is fueling the very fire he's trying to flee from.

*sigh*
History is doomed to repeat itself.
Adam and Eve were ousted from Eden after the snake convinced them to bite the forbidden apple, and now Adam and Steve are being ousted from Apple for biting the forbidden snake.

Apple's going to get a lot of flack for this move, and deservedly so. (Edit: I may have to eat those words.)
