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?

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

Crying in the workplace: bad but sometimes necessary.

The old days were always better. Clearly.

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

That's some serious fucked up corporate meddling.

Basically the comics people are seen as only vehicles for the movie properties at this point. The movies are so lucrative that the comics are seen as a threat to marketing.

Too many fucking suits that don't know comics.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
