On the Spiderman thing--how old was he before it all went down? Did they de-age him too? One of the places I was reading said that he was now a loser because he was pretty old and living at home, and I wonder how old he was in the original timeline when he moved out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought it was more a matter of sticking around to help care for an older-than-God aunt that was always in some sort of health crisis than just living at home because he couldn't hold a steady job?

Does Newbury comics do subscriptions, Frank? I think they used to, but I haven't checked for years.

Every (angry) reaction I've read has picked out him being twenty-something or in his late twenties and living at home as a slacker thing. He's also unemployed and supported by her, IIRC.

They do, but I don't know whether there's a minimum or something, and this is the first comic it's been an issue for. I ended up going to the comic store in Salem as a detour on my way home and picked it up.
On that note, per the final revelation in the new Angel, all I can say is on Oz-like "Huh." I do wonder why Illyria is so pissed at Angel considering she fought by his side during season 5 and I won't be surprised if Fred comes back in some form given the timeslips that were going on during the fight. I think the story is getting more intriguing issue by issue, but the artwork still sucks. I hope the artist they got to replace this one is (a) better and (b) doesn't delay the schedule too long.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Is the first graphic novel out yet?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can send the list to me, brenda, although it's doubtful I'll bite.
Also note my new profile email address.
