Superman/Batman #26

I'll be picking up a copy. You should to. Read this and you'll know why.

The Gey

Apparently Colossus is bisexual in X-Men 3.

"Colossus has a much larger part in this film. He joins the X-Men with Kitty near the beginning of the film. He also is in the Danger Room sequence where he throws Wolverine during a fastball special at a Sentinel. Colossus metals up quite a few times and he fights Juggernaut in the final battle. Colossus is bisexual in the film and he has crushes on both Rogue and Wolverine. He acts kind of like a big brother towards the other students."

So I guess he'll "cop a feal" when he throws Wolvie in the fastball special?

Could It Really Happen?

Could Uncanny X-Men actually be well written? Could the art be pleasing to the eye? Could both happen at the same time?! It's looking like it might happen this summer when Ed Brubaker and Billy Tan take over as the creative team. Yes, there is a God, and it's not Chris Claremont. Newsarama has an interview posted with Ed.

P. Craig Russell Original Art

P. Craig Russell has always been my favorite artist. It's time I buy a piece of his art.

Currently on Ebay:

Sandman

Daredevil (with Captain America) in street cloths

Elric

I'll have to jump high on the Sandman piece, but I'm going to give it a try. The Daredevil page will make a nice consolation prize if I don't get the Sandman page. The Elric piece may get purchased by me if I don't get the Sandman page. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Seth Fisher Funural Details

The following open e-mail has been sent to Fisher’s friends from his relative, April Fisher. It reads:

Dear Friends of Seth,

I've just hung up the phone from talking with Vicki (Seth's mother) in Japan. She is with family and friends at the wake. She was overwhelmed when I told her so many people are talking about him online, in blogs and forums. She thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. It seems Seth fell seven stories off the roof of a club in Osaka. The autopsy revealed massive internal bleeding and suggests that he died instantly.

The funeral in Japan is on Saturday. Condolences may be sent to Hisako (his wife) at:

Hisako Sugiyama
Miyoshi Building 3C
2-13-8 Matsubara
Naka-ku Nagoya-shi
Aichi-ken 460-0017
Japan

There will be a service at Sacred Heart in Coronado (San Diego) when his mother returns from Japan (at least a week from now). The church will have the details (http://www.sacredheartcor.org/):

Sacred Heart Parish
