"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, pshaw, it's well established that Thor can kick Thing's ass.

Thor v. Hulk, now...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

THING vs. THOR

Jack Kirby, a working-class Jew from the Lower East Side, had his greatest successes in comics drawing blond, blue-eyed gentiles like Captain America and Thor. His most autobiographical creation was the golem-like Thing, who was constantly thwarted trying to find a cure for his grotesque appearance.

"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

Eh, Ben could wipe the floor with Thor in a game of poker or a practical joke war. And really, aren't those the important arenas of competition?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I finished the last book of Scott Pilgrim last night. I really liked the series, and am waiting impatiently for the movie.

I agree with P-C that book 5 is pretty depressing, but in context I like it, and I really liked the Kim Pine bits.

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

I just read Mark Millar's "Chosen". Ooh so good.
