You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Spectacular Spider-Man was actually good this morning. Or maybe it was just that I liked how they handled the symbiote so much better in the cartoon than the film.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Did you watch the cartoon in the '90s? They did a good job too.

I caught what I think were the first two episodes of Spectacular Spider-Man in a hotel a few months ago and was pretty impressed.

I must have missed that. I'm surprised D hasn't gotten it from Netflix. The last Spidey cartoon I watched regularly was Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. I used to watch the 60's one in syndication when I was a kid. I loved it but Mom would watch it with me and critique it to death. I thought she just didn't get it until we bought the whole series a few years ago. Another lesson that Mom is always right. I think we've only tried to watch it once.

The Spidey and X-Men cartoons in the '90s were where all my comic book knowledge came from before I got into comics. I loved them.

I'm told it's obvious I learned about X-Men from the cartoon since Gambit is my favorite.

I saw the sneak of the trailer for Wolverine a little while ago and I'm pretty sure I saw a guy in a trenchcoat chucking cards. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Liev Schreiber is playing Sabretooth.

I just finished Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman, which did not feature Supes saying, "I'm the goddamn Superman." I'm not really a Superman person beyond Smallville, so I wasn't familiar with most of the characters in their comics incarnations. It was a...weird series. Superman has some weird adventures, man. But I liked how cohesive it ended up being, with little things from previous issues popping up later. It was rather clever in that way.

Art Crawl!!!

Did he say, "I'm the Gosh Darn Superman"?
