Controversy
: Turns out that one of the library workers -- not librarians -- in Kentucky who refused to lend "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier" to a child had actually kept the book out of circulation for all patrons for over a year by checking it over and over herself, and even discussed spilling a drink on the book to ruin it. When she later had to actually read the book to defend her behavior, she recruited people pray over her while she read to protect her from the images. The two women, who were fired for their actions, "remain baffled as to the reasoning behind their dismissal." (via The Beat)

Old school Bendis fans, rejoice! Oh, and apparently he's a professor now? (Robot 6)Anime: The 1965 anime series "Prince Planet," one of the first ever on TV, is now free on Hulu. (Newsarama)
