Is there some literary reference for The Boy's "Gazelle" dialogue? Kipling, maybe?

AWEsome issue. Allison's confrontation with the amnesiac Vanya was harsh but fitting... hopefully sowing seeds for V's redemption.

Nice to see a memorial for Pogo, but are they gonna repair the Horror memorial V sliced down in AS?

I give this four Open Umbrellas!

Off to a great start! Like CJ said, just a fun, fun book full of energy. Looking forward to a wild ride here.

What I'm really hoping for is some more info on the 6th kid, the Horror. We basically know very little about his death, correct?

The Horror is still an unknown at this point. Even as a kid, he isn't the most fleshed out character. But I'm sure Way will share something on him before all is said and done.

And here's to the second issue of Dallas. Something about seeing these characters fight reminds me of my own family, and that's where this book really works.

Okay every time an issue comes out, I get all giggly. And I get that way every comic book day, so this is an even more geeky rush.

Number 5 is more than he seems. Hazel and Cha-Cha are the best hitmen this side of Secret Six. Seance isn't the fop I thought he was, he just might be the most well adjusted of them all.

Finally got my last two months' worth of comics-- I got more out of UA: Dallas #2 alone than I did out of Final Crisis 5-7 combined. The fact that I also had #3 to read was further goodness on top. Washed that sour Morry taste from my mouth.
It's nice to reread books because they're FUN, not because I'm trying to make sense of what's happening. [Razz]

So I've avoided searching for news on the next miniseries, as I know Gerard's been in the studio with MCR and welcoming a baby into the world to boot, and Gabriel's been working a Vertigo mini with his brother (Daytripper #10, the last issue, was recently solicited)... but after rereading the Apocalypse Suite and Dallas trades back-to-back (AGAIN [Smile] ) yesterday, I had to seach for some kind of news. I found the title for the next mini, at least, though no solicitation info, on the DHMB:

Hotel Oblivion.

AAAARGH. [AHHHH!!!!] [sob]

Can't wait but I guess I have to... [sigh]

So after quite awhile in comic-time with nary a peep, Dark Horse finally posted some Gerard Way news-- He and Becky Cloonan will be in a ticketed NYCC panel next Saturday the 13th at 5pm for their Fabulous Killjoys series. No news on the UA:Hotel Oblivion mini, but hopefully getting Killjoys out of his system will allow Way to get back to the Academy stories... [sigh]

**"ticketed"--"*Tickets are available for free and on a first come first serve basis in the Dark Horse Booth on the day of the signing as soon as the convention hall opens. Note that fans line up very early in the Javits Center (The Javits Center opens at 7:00 a.m., so fans can line up inside as early as that time each day.)"
