01:03 pm [neuhallidae] [Link]	The Halls of Fate, Part Four In our last chapter, Hector was subjected to bodysnatching, psychic intervention, ancient wizard dickery, and finally found a long lost someone. In this chapter, we get two reunions, a fight, and a lot of history hopscotching between DC and Vertigo. Twenty-five pages from six issues, spread out over JSA, Infinity Inc., and Sandman.

11:33 am [wordswordswords] [Link]	Books of Magic: Summonings Hi, I'm inflicting just one more Books of Magic post on you. This is from the beginning of the "Summonings" TPB, showing Timothy Hunter of the future (Khara calls him "Mr. Wrong" because SPOILER: he's an asshole) starting to realize something has gone very, very off. (9 scans, issue more than 22 pages.) ( Oh, Tim. How sweet of you to bring me chocolates. How did you know it was my birthday...? By the way, there is something I've been meaning to tell you... that dragon we met in Hell? That was you. We had a lovely chat while you were out smashing mountains. He told me how he'd sold his memories of childhood to all kinds of interesting demons, and how he loved me so much that he'd xeroxed me hundreds of times, and yelled at me, hurt me, and killed me, and given me to Vuall so I could learn to be a perfect little wife. Of course, he said, you don't have to turn out to be him. In fact, he said he'd be rather surprised if you did— ) Tags: char: tim hunter, creator: neil gaiman, publisher: vertigo comics, title: the books of magic (9 comments \| Leave a comment)

02:51 pm [wordswordswords] [Link]	Books of Magic: from the Reckonings TPB Molly has been kidnapped by the retarded pink dinosaurs and is now trapped in Hell, forced to listen to the Governess because the Governess is torturing Crimple. Molly is told to read from a book. (8 scans, issue longer than 22 pages; writer John Ney Rieber and illustrator Peter Snejbjerg.) ( Shrinking Violetta, or the Princess Who Did As She Pleased. ) Tim also had to read a story. His was shorter. I'll get to Gotham Central later.

12:50 pm [wordswordswords] [Link]	Books of Magic: to Hell and Back (Reckonings) I just got around to reading this place again, and remembered that once upon a time I had posted to the old scans_daily with Books of Magic scans that hey, I still have around. And there are only two Books of Magic entries, so here. (8 pages scanned, issue was longer than 22; writer John Ney Rieber and illustrator Peter Snejbjerg.) ( This is the time Molly got kidnapped by the retarded pink dinosaurs. ) I only got to read up to "Girl in the Box", and my library doesn't have "Burning Girl", so I never saw for myself what happened to Molly although I do know. Does anyone have any scans? Books of Magic was my first comic and I love it. Even if no one else does B\|. Also, I notice we apparently have no Gotham Central (otherwise known as CSI: Gotham) scans, so I will fix that with the time they shot Batman.

08:13 pm [merseybeatler] [Link]	Death: The High Cost Of Living Death: The High Cost Of Living is a three-issue miniseries published by Neil Gaiman, published in 1993 as a Sandman spinoff. One day in every century Death takes on human flesh, better to comprehend what the lives she takes must feel like, to taste the bitter tang of mortality. This is the price she must pay for being the divider of the living from all that has gone before, all that must come after. Featuring ~~almost~~ everyone's favorite anthropomorphic personification of kicking the bucket, being cute. Also spoilers. ( dial-uppers bewarre: here be large scans! ) :D Current Mood: peachy keen!

10:14 am [mllesays] [Link]	Gemworld as envisioned by Charles Vess I had never heard of Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld until the scans were posted here. But upon going back through some old Neil Gaiman stuff, I realized that Gemworld gets a mention in the original Books of Magic miniseries (in issue #3, with art by Charles Vess).

She also has to be slightly terrifying ( Or just plain weird... ) Tags: char: delirium of the endless, char: dream of the endless, creator: jill thompson, creator: neil gaiman, series: one perfect moment week (17 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:22 am [red_cyclone] [Link]	Perfect Desire Moment This is my perfect Desire moment, Gaiman perfectly shows just how self-obsessed s/he is, and how much a creature of the moment, and the words utterly haunt me. I really wanted to use it in my dissertation, but unfortunatly I couldn't find a way to work it in, this makes up for it.

07:01 pm [kagome654] [Link]	Green Lantern/Superman: Legend of the Green Flame So...I had no idea Neil Gaiman wrote a Green Lantern story. Apparently the tale has a pretty interesting history ('How do you lose a Neil Gaiman script?'- Mark Waid). It's a pretty decent story, with a lot of talented artists attached (plus cameos by Deadman, The Phantom Stranger* and Selina Kyle). ( Booster isn't the only one who accidentally sends friends to Hell ) Due to certain constraints the Phantom Stranger may not appear as advertised. Or at all Tags:* char: catwoman/selina kyle, char: deadman/boston brand, char: green lantern/hal jordan, char: lois lane, char: superman/clark kent, creator: eric shanower, creator: john totleben, creator: mike allred, creator: neil gaiman, creator: terry austin, publisher: dc comics (18 comments \| Leave a comment)

06:34 am [ebailey140] [Link]	Gotham City Sirens, Who They Are and How They Came To Be, Part 1: Poison Ivy With the upcoming series starring Gotham's three most prominant bad girls, I figured I'd spotlight each of them in current DCU continuity, their origins, motivations, what they have in common and what sets them apart. We'll start with everyone's favorite psychotic eco-terrorist, Dr. Pamela Isley, aka Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy was introduced during the Silver Age, and was typical of the gimmick villains of the time. Her original origin was she was a botanist who assisted Marc LeGrande in stealing ancient Egyptian poisonous herbs. He attempted to kill her with them, but she survived and discovered she was immune to all poisons and diseases. She was a femme fatale with a plant theme. After Crisis of Infinite Earths, many characters and series had their continuity rebooted or revamped. In Ivy's case, the revamping for the new era was done by a then up and coming writer named Neil Gaiman. Needless to say, the result was a more complex, not to mention much darker, Poison Ivy.
