Ever since skimming through a Smax comic at Emma's place, I feel like I've been more sensitive than usual to pop-culture references within comics. Tonight's?

On page 115 of Transmet, book 7, Spider's transient badge has a single drop of blood on it that is visually reminiscent of the smily-face-with-blood-spatter badge that is used as a visual signifier in Watchmen, by Alan Moore.

(Not to mention "Durden Demolitions" several pages later. "If it says DURDEN, it's going down.")

Tyler Durden (well, the movie version, anyway) is in one of the crowd shots, as well.

Is he? I didn't notice that! I'll have to go back and reread them. Damn. ;)

Ditto. :D

I've yet to get my hands on copies for my own, though.

*cuddles his* Read Top Ten sort of by accident and saw Smax in a 'upcoming' thing in one of my other comics and ordered it ahead of time. what joy.

"winged loverats, we call 'em" sticks with me.

I have a friend with both issues of Top Ten, and so I've borrowed them off him a couple of times. My problem is that I've spent most of the last year unemployed, but without government support, so I've had to be very careful with my money. I have to wait until I have a job again before I can buy more comics. ;)
