But why? How can anyone not write comics when given the opportunity? :)
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
Especially a woman. There must be all kinds of fantastic opportunities for women in the comics industry, right?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Refrigerators for all the heroes' girlfriends, and fan backlash is hamstrung!

ION: I'm reading about Amazing Spider-Man #545, and Holy Shit, that is one ugly retcon. Apparently, the issue was written by Joe Quesada, because JMS wouldn't sign off on it.

While they were retconning away the fact that everyone knows Spider-Man's secret identity, they decided to retcon a few other things too, so now Peter Parker was never married to MJ, and Harry Osbourn is still alive.

I thought Civil War was the reason for whitefont #1. As for whitefonts #2 and #3 -- WtfuckingF?!?
And HOW in the hell did they retcon those???

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So, not so much "retcon" as "don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain".

Buh?
That's....actually dumber than Superboy-Prime punching a hole in reality.
And I don't say that lightly.
