| "...[in comics,] there are certain images and archetypes and kinds of incidents that have been internalized by readers and creators--traditions and conventions of the superhero idiom that are so familiar that tweaking them can pass for creativity. .....That has led to the rise of superhero metacomics, whose point is commentary on the conventions of superhero stories or on familiar characters who are represented in a sort of thinly disguised roman à clef way. Metacomics may pay lip service to being universally comprehensible, but they're really aimed at what I call 'superreaders': readers familiar enough with enormous numbers of old comics that they'll understand what's really being discussed in the story." -Douglas Wolk |

 S-cape-ism | " 'This... stuff'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff." -Miranda Priestly |

Though the scoffers have seen me standing alone
And the heathens have heard me praying to nobody
Though the wicked have witnessed me walking alone
And the froward have found me flying solo
I'm not so low, I'm not alone
No, I have never been alone
My Yahweh has always been with me
No, I have never been alone
My Yahweh has always been with me
And I will praise Him forevermore

 " 'Lads, do you have any fish?' " | "ST. JOHN: Jesus speaks: 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' Even now, He prays. For the soldiers at the foot of His cross gambling for His clothes. And I realize something: they crucified Him on orders in pagan ignorance. And these Pharisees looking on so self-righteously, they condemned Him thinking they were serving God! But what of us? What of us, His twelve? For three years we followed Him, we saw His signs and wonders, we learned the secret of who He really was, and still we BETRAYED Him, we DENIED Him, we DESERTED Him! And I SEE THE DAMNING DIFFERENCE! WE. KNEW. WHAT WE. DID." -Don Berrigan |
