I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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

Now I'm envisioning strands of Mr. Fantastic getting wound around Wolverine's claws like salt water taffy. It's kinda disturbing.

"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

Reed's like Wolverine's platonic ideal arch-nemesis. Can't be cut, charge at him and you just get bounced around harmlessly like a kid in one of those Moon Walk tents, and the whole time you spend in a berserker rage trying ineffectually to hurt him he's calmly lecturing you that you should just settle down and talk out your differences like rational adults.

Batman & Robin #16 is out today. Later tonight I will reread the series. And maybe RIP again. And then maybe I'll have another dream about Grant Morrison being shaman-y! Good times.

This week I love Demian for "You're not a clone are you? Or some stupid robot?"

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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Nice one, Laga.

Sadly it wasn't much of a challenge, but I suppose that's not the point.

Finished second read-through of Scott Pilgrim. Pretty much re-enforced my intial impressions, though Lucas Lee is definately more of a dick in the comics than I originally thought, just not nearly as much as his movie counter-part.

Still don't understand the Glow (So Gideon somehow invented a way to make people's head glow, which makes them hate themselves, and somehow it made him millions of dollars? Bwuh?). I finally just decided to shrug and give up trying to make sense of it and enjoy the story.

I will say after the second time through Kim may be my favorite character.

Heh. A webcomic about the weird and amusing crap customers say in this' guy's comicbook store. [link]

Although some of them are kind of "Yeah, that's typical nerd-speak. Why is this noteworthy?"

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

The Top 10 Marvel Bad-Asses.

The list seems kind of padded to me.

Here's my list of the top DC Badasses:

    • Batman
    • Lobo
    • Amanda Waller

And the position of 2 and 3 is up to debate.

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

Here's my list of the top DC Badasses:

It's not their specialty.

But I'd have to include Sgt. Rock, The Spectre (Jim Aparo version), Rorschach, that female drug dealer in that Alan Moore two-parter, Constantine, Cheshire, the mute Batgirl Cassandra Cain, Grace Choi from the Outsiders.

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

X-23? Seriously? That's just fanservice. WhatEV. Also, Storm is badasser than Cyclops, so if he's on the list, she should be on the list.

DC's list needs Cassandra Cain and Death.
