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?"
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.
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.
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.
I stopped reading it after seeing Nick Fury came in the middle of the list below Eddie Brock. I assume sniktbub was #1?
X-23? Seriously?
@@. I think it's too soon to put the kid on that list.
I assume sniktbub was #1?
I know I'm a bit of a fangirl, but the entire Marvel universe (all of them) is designed to make that a truism. It's hard to fight. The interesting part is #2-10.
X-23? Seriously?
If you wanted a shapely mutant teenager for a list of Marvel badasses, I'd think Illyana Rasputin would be your go-to girl. She came through a childhood that makes Batman's look like a 1960s Disney musical by comparison, and used to routinely creep members of the primary X-Men team out.
Mal and I just watched
Under the Red Hood.
About halfway through, Mal decided that the character should be called "Robin Hood." I told him that was taken, so he suggested "Red Robin."
