It's a good-news bad-news situation

Good News: SciFi has slated a new season of BSG.

Bad News: They've expanded the episode order from a lean and mean 13 to a fat 22.

This will no doubt give crankygrrl pause for some concern. Personally, I think she's on to something when she says that too many episodes lead the writing time into a lot of, well, just not very good writing.

We shall see, I suppose.

Have comics always been this bad?

I note several things:

(a) I spend much much less on comics these days than I used to.

(b) I actually read only a handful of titles (and by handful, I mean maybe four or five), and for only two of those do I buy single issues (Hellboy and BPRD).

(c) Have comics always been this blatantly sexist?

I'm coming to the sad conclusion that Greg Land is the rule not the exception (ed: yes, I know that link doesn't produce an example of Land's work, but the subtext is similar).

Bah.
