On Recapping 'The Wire': Episode 1
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW THAT HAS EVER BEEN ON TELEVISION!!
i gave up after the first episode because i couldn't deal with all the swearing [i'm very sensitive] and violence [very sensitive!!] and cop swagger. but good friends with good taste insisted i persevere. and so i did, and it was the best 60 hours of my life spent in front of a glowing screen.

On No Jail Time For Face-Slashing State Senator
oh snap! can't marry the person he loves? if only this came a few days before the gay marriage vote, perhaps he would have been more sympathetic.
and yo: who cuts their girl with GLASS? that's seriously disturbed, even for a NY senator.

On Graphic Imagery, With Dan Kois: Three Comics to Make You Fall in Love with Comics
yeah ex machina sucks. it was decent at first but then it was like "the adventures of... the mayor of new york!" thanks no, i get enough of that already from our self-anointed king who probably believes he has super powers.
i'm surprised you didn't like Y. i would really recommend giving it another go, if you didn't get too far in it. i remember it kind of sucking for a bit but then it got better and was awesome at the end. but yo it's being adapted so you can maybe wait until it's on the tv or big screen.

dude: FABLES
The only comic I've ever read that has been either good or great every single issue. Artwork is beautiful, the set up really clever and the stories quite engaging.
also, WALKING DEAD
Best zombie comic.
and the now finished Y: the last man.
All available as trade paperbacks, so reading them is REALLY like reading a book!

On "Glee": Sometimes Writers Slam Keyboards with Ham Fists
damn i haven't read the awl in a while and now it seems to be filled with haters! yeesh if you don't like the writing style of a recap, stop reading it and close your browser. no need to get nasty...
that pokerface rendition was disgusting. i was physically uncomfortable when they sang the muffin part. hello! mother! daughter! anyway brown eyes would have been a much better song on every level.
overall though quite surprised that the gaga episode was filled with so many non-gaga songs. what a squandered opportunity...
