You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I don't even read this thread, but I noticed how new it was and couldn't resist my only chance to be in the first 10!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Maybe a mid-life crisis... this tends to be one of the slower burning thread subjects.

Really? Because I've always seen Morrison as quite greatful to Moore for blowing open the doors for that sort of work at DC.

Willoughby Kipling and the Cult of the Unwritten book may have been intended to be an affectionate lampoon of Moore's über-arc on Swamp Thing, but the tone struck me as jeering and dismissive on a meta level.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was going to include some sort of Crisis in the thread description, but then I forgot about it (the Crisis AND the thread description, both). We need to retcon some sort of thread description.
