Talking to China Miéville.
Thanks, Paul. Based on your inter/review, it sounded like The City & The City hit on some favorite themes of mine. I picked up a copy, loved it, and I'm now working my way through Mieville's oeuvre. I thoroughly enjoyed Perdido Street Station, and I'm about halfway through The Scar. Mieville obviously draws from many pop-cultural sources, but manages to freshen them up with an urbane academic confidence that strips away much of the overused steampunk/fantasy cliches. Really intense world-building without spoon feeding. I like it a lot.

Re: Less Geeky Comics News.
Inevitably, DC will publish a 'perfect' edition, collecting all the comics into one gorgeous hardcover coffee-table edition. I'd rather wait until I can buy that on Amazon than bother with the weeklies at all.
