It's funny to me how, like Abhay's post, this review is a really distilled version of your writing style. It's like, having been chosen for not just your skill at reviewing, but the particular blogging-celebrity-voice of it, those elements have really been amplified, rather than fade into some kind of homogenic "house reviewing style." It really gives me hope and makes me wonder if someone that I just generally think of as being a really good reviewer, like Douglas Wolk, will play up their eccentricities. (I imagine it will involve music references.) Or if they'll do it at all.
I love it, I support it whole-heartedly.
I hadn't even noticed the similarity with the scene in Flex Mentallo. Have you read the Milligan/Fegredo Girl, which is really similar to the Morrison/Bond Kill Your Boyfriend? (or, for that matter, Milligan's one-shot The Eaters, drawn by Dean Ormstom, which is somehow one of my favorite comics?)
It looks like, whereas before the Savage Critic was a diner (an excellent one, at that), it's now become a full-fledged restaurant with a broad range of tastes for a variety of palates. It's become a very different read, that's for sure, due to the shifts of tone.
Speaking of Flex Mentallo, did DC ever put that out in tpb form? I still don't own it (but have been able to read it thanks to the wonders of the interweb). I sure as heck would love a collection as part of the Doom Patrol run, for instance.
Looking forward to that post about DKSA. Should prove to be interesting, considering the abundance of finger-flipping Miller did in that series! (plus: pornography posts! bonus! :p)
A good whatever to you too 
I'm sorry, quick suggestion about the site: is it possible to have the font a bit bigger, closer to how it was before? I have to strain to read a lot of it (I generally have bad eyes, but...).
Brandon:
This tip didn't work for me on my work computer but it does here at home: hold down your CTRL key and scroll your mouse wheel. The text will increase or decrease as you want it.
It works for me on my version of Firefox and it allows the site to still keep its super-purtyness and me to keep my eyeballs...
It saddnes me that I've never managed to hunt down a copy of Rogan Josh. Milligan and McCarthy are absolutely iconic creators for me.

Wow, this post was brilliant. And from your little preview musings at the bottom, I can tell I shall love the column.
Milligan and McCarthy are brilliant, but I haven't read this. Must remedy that soon.
Flex Mentallo is my all-time favorite comic. Can't wait for that one.
Brian - I've actually managed to read neither Girl nor Kill Your Boyfriend, though both are on the list... as far as Milligan/Fegredo goes, I have (finally!) read Enigma (and speaking of questioning the form... it'd be worthwhile to compare that and Rogan Gosh just to see how they both deal with their own comicness) and Face (tricky piece of horror work, that). Certainly Morrison and McCarthy have long been appreciative of one another, having worked together since Zenith...
Peter - No, Flex Mentallo never did come out in collected form, but since DC's already released the Doom Patrol stories that got the character in legal trouble to begin with, there's always reason for hope... I'm also kind of hoping it'll maybe slip in to the sixth and final Doom Patrol trade, whenever that's due out... Doom Force would be great too. Really, they should just title the book Doom Patrol Vol. 6: Doom Force and Other Stuff.
Kieron - Oh, someday you'll find it. I really think its the best of their teamings I've read, and I've read them all except for the really early or rare ones, Summer of Love or the stuff from Sounds and such...
Bill - Ha ha... you know, I was thinking maybe people would presume I was joking with that stuff at the bottom, but it looks like everyone took it seriously. Which is good, since I was being serious.
Site is now bookmarked. Carry on!
Kill your Boyfriend is so perfect it's worth mugging someone who has it to have it. Of all Morrison's work, it's the one where he walks the Pop thing like he talks it.

Can you point me in the direction of where those more comicly violent titles (like the first two up top) could be purchased? The art is amazing and worth the (hopefully affordable) price alone.
Thanks.
