( Book of Note: Spider-Man #657 )

   Dave Van Domelen, "Tell me he doesn't actually believe that." "I'm not sure. He also puts fins on all of our deep space vehicles." "But in a vacuum they wouldn't do anything." "I know, but -- " - Spider-Man and Reed Richards, referring to Johnny Storm, The Amazing Spider-Man #657

( Two Iron Man figures, LSH #11 and Invincible #78. Slow week. )

   Dave Van Domelen, "Despite all logic, my feelings for you short-lived, small-brained, foolish idiots are sufficient that I have chosen to spend my life among YOU, instead of on my own world where my intellect would be suitably HONORED...because you are truly my friends. Stop sniffling." - about as warm and fuzzy as Querl Dox gets.

( No books of note, no Awards, no end quote, no real enthusiasm. )

   Dave Van Domelen, suspects he won't have to give up on comics, Diamond will simply stop shipping anything he wants to read.

( Includes a bunch of late Antarctic Press books bought online )

   Dave Van Domelen, "But, hey! Now 'robot' isn't the WEIRDEST part of our relationship!" "You're not helping." - Robo and Helen, Atomic Robo the Deadly Art of Science #4 (of 5)

( Book of Note: Love and Capes Ever After. )

   Dave Van Domelen, "Don't look like that. I can't be the first person to have put their parents in an alternate universe and made them faint." - Zodon, PS238 #48

( Book of Note: Optical Allusions )

   Dave Van Domelen, "Okay, okay, you don't have to be so MARY SUE about it." - Sersi to Amadeus Cho, Chaos War #5 (of 5) (Hey, if there's an Eternal who reads fanfic, it's...well, Sprite. But Sersi's a close second.)

Best of 2010! A bit late this time, as I was waiting for some books from earlier in the year to be mailed to me by scavgraphics, whose store Diamond isn't trying to kill. Yet.

( Book of note: Ant-Man and Wasp #3 )

   Dave Van Domelen, "A.I.M. is the home of people like us. Hyper-intelligent outcasts with an overriding desire to save the world from the clutches of monkeys whose solution to problems is hitting them with a stick." - Monica Rappaccini, Ant-Man and Wasp #3 (of 3)

   Bonus Quote: "I've developed one hundred and fifty-seven methods of keeping you here long enough to hear my offer." - Monica Rappaccini, ibid, demonstrating a dedication to the art of trapping rarely seen outside of Scooby Doo.

( Book of Note: Atomic Robo: Deadly Art of Science #2 )

   Dave Van Domelen, "C'MON. I've done SOME adventuring. Fought a monster from outer space a while back." "What?" "And wrestled with vampire monsters from another UNIVERSE just this afternoon!" "Yeah, saying things like that is going to make me want to trust you with firearms." - Atomic Robo and Jack Tarot

( No books of note, but no new missing books, at least. )

   Dave Van Domelen, "Iron Man! We need to be IRRITATING!" "Really? Too bad Nova isn't here." - Sue Storm and Iron Man, Marvel Adventures Super Heroes #9
