Someone just walked me through the Phoenix Five. I like when the text embraces Cyclops-as-douche instead of trying to retcon it away.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I watched the premier of Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. I feel like I lost some IQ points in the process. What the hell has happened to Paul Dini!?

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.
That's a shame, Tom. I remember seeing the series announced, liking the cast and that Dini was onboard and thinking it could be good despite the concept. Apparently not.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
14 comic releases from 1983.
Ahhh, right in my sweet spot. I bought every single one of those comics. I still have my copies of Warrior, L&R, Nexus, Weirdo. And that was the first issue of Love and Rockets I bought at Million Year Picnic in Boston.

So has anyone found any good discussion of the new all-female X-book? I haven't even seen any pages posted on scans_daily.
I've been enjoying it so far. What do you guys think?

Hey, Young Justice watchers - If I had a chance to buy the soundtrack, would you say it's worth it?
