Re: What made you feel giddy today?
Finding out that Marvel has picked up the rights to the old CrossGen comics titles and will be releasing them starting around in March. Uncertain if they will be doing all of the titles (which is making my one friend nervous. I didn't see anything that referenced our favorite title...) but just knowing that they're not languishing in limbo anymore makes me happy. So far, the confirmed titles are Ruse (the Sherlock Holmes one) and Sigil (though they're changing that one up a bit...go see the other half of this in the rant thread. It's not full on hate.)
In the splash picture in the back of the comic, I see what looks like an Japanese parasol (maybe a bokken?) and a ring (could be referencing Way of the Rat), a map with Route 666 marked on it, a gun with lip marks on the magazines (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), a cutlass (El Cazador), and there's a flag with a symbol on it and a wooden block with a different symbol that I don't really remember all that well (it's been years, after all). And I think I just figured out where the lock of black hair with purple ribbon around it is from, too. Mystic (Giselle wore purple. Sort of her signature color.)
Bit of an article on it, including their teaser pic.
