Friday Poll: Poll from Polls #8

Recently its been in the news about chimp attacks. Leading some people to try and discourage me in my quest for a monkey butler. And thats just silly. I mean millions of people EVERYDAY don't have their hands gnawed off by any kind of primate. Statistically that means I'd be perfectly safe...

[Poll #1356483]

Writer's Block: AKA

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Its a tale of murder and betrayal and greed and love and destiny. Of beautiful dames and deadly killers and gloomy thugs. A story as old as man. Featuring a cast of thousands and an elephant! A city in flames! Lovers torn asunder! A mysterious object! The horrors of war! The grandeur of kings! The simple kindness of a mother's touch...

All that!

Maybe!

What the hell?

I go back to sleep and scans_daily gets suspended? What did you people do?!?

ETA: Well, according to kali921 and box_in_the_box and others, Peter David threw a bitch fit to Marvel over learning about scans of his latest issue of X-Factor. And so LJ abuse took it down for copyright violation. I'd say I'll never buy David's books again, but I haven't bought anything of his since Young Justice and his 90s X-Factor anyway...

Still this sucks. About half my decisions on picking up a new book came after seeing something cool on scans_daily. Blue Beetle, Avengers: The Initiative, my hardback trades for Runaways and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane. Maybe David and others can go after Sims and other comics bloggers who review comics to take down the people who influence that other half...

scans_daily had a lot of whiny bullshit on it, just like any internet community. But I've found several friends and cool journals thru it in addition to new comics. I've enjoyed seeing the occasional creator get involved in the discussion of a comic. From Gail Simone to Dan Slott to Warren Ellis to McKelvie and Gillen...

I understand there is a version of the community on InsaneJournal. So congrats LJ, you've encouraged me to find one MORE reason to use my IJ more often...
