Morning linkage, good and bad

The good: DNAGENTS and Crossfire are being reprinted in trade paperback form! I was never a huge Crossfire fan, but DNAgents was another of those great indy comics that first led me away from the Big Two. Alas, the reprints are in B&W -- although the line art is great, having the top-notch coloring would have been a nice bonus. But I'll still buy 'em.

The bad: A woman in Texas (state motto: We gave you Bush) was arrested for selling sex toys at private parties. No, she's not being charged with operating without a license or whatnot; she's being charged under obscenity laws. My disgust at her arrest knows no bounds (but hey, this is the same state that convicted Juan Castillo of selling comic books to adults).

The good: The latest attempt by John "Walter Peck" Ashcroft to grossly exceed his authority (this time by subpoena medical records he had no right to without the consent of the patients) has been denied..

The bad: It's rainy and ugly outside, and I must soon take Miss Kid to the bus stop.
