Pete, that is so awesome!
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

WTF, Marvel? WTF? [link] (Link is spoilery for Fantastic Four. No, not *last* week's spoiler; a new one.)
Not only am I agog at the [spoiler], the variant cover (at link) is one of the most fucked-up things I've seen in a while. (1) Why are most of them grinning like maniacs, given last week's spoiler? (2) WTF parrots? (3) Is Thing carrying a Mini-Me of Invisible Woman? (4) What's with the ALIEN HEAD IN A JAR just floating around?!?
And OH MY GOD THE COSTUMES. Why, Marvel? WHY?!?!?
t edit I don't read any Marvel titles any more, so perhaps all the answers to my questions are obvious. But -- ALIEN HEAD IN A JAR?

Okay, in an effort to prove to Tim that DC is still more fucked up than Marvel, I tried to explain Monsieur Mallah and The Brain to him, and my explanation sounded so ludicrous that I had to pull this page up: [link]
A hyper-intelligent ape in love with a brain in a jar ("metal tube," Tim corrected me). Oh, DC. Never change.
[My 2 posts are related because of the head/brain-in-a-jar thing. And the utter fucked-upped-ness.]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I loved how animated Teen Titans worked Mallah/Brain into their storyline, hinting ever so discreetly at their relationship.
Pink Kryptonite should do a piece on Shore Leave from Venture Brothers. He started as just a Village People knockoff but he was so consistently funny and cool during the second half of last season, he was one of my favorite characters.

What? Is Spider-Man the new Wolverine? Wasn't he on the Avengers? And the X-Men, randomly, for some reason? Oh, Marvel. I am still miffed at you for giving Black Panther the Daredevil title. AND THE NUMBERING.

move out and draw fire
WTF, Marvel? WTF?
The big cover is...well, it looks like Thing is tossing a frisbee. But there are hexagons! So it's clearly the future.

You mean the cover where it looks like Thing is wearing ONLY boxer briefs? (Oddly, the boxer-brief cover is NOT the cover that I found disturbing, with the FLOATING ALIEN HEAD IN A JAR.*)

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.
Re: Young Justice
It's looking like you might be right, Scola. Though I hope the writers are trying to misdirect us and wouldn't be so obvious as to say "There's a spy on the team" right after said spy joins the team. So I'm hoping it's actually a different character.

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