Thrive to spite them

Hey I found the comic book talk.

After reading Batman Year One I want to know more about Catwoman.

I'm not sure what book I'm going to get next---probably what ever is in the store when I make an impulse purchase. Although I am working off the list I've made from everyone's suggestions.

Yeah, goatees are good for that, too (makes "goody-little-two-shoes" face at victor).

Careful Sean, that's a 35 year-old fandom indicator for evil. This is the 21st century, and if I'm not mistaken Victor has far more leather pants-wearing cred than you.

OMG! The Buffy Palz are three-dimensional StorTroopers!

Jumping back a bit:

Of course, when Superman gave Batman the Kryptonite, you just know that as soon as he left, Bats tossed it to Alfred and said 'Put it with the others'.

move out and draw fire

So true.

Skipping a bit: have you guys seen this? I'm not usually into superhero games or MMPORPGs, but a friend has sold me on trying it at least. I'm Jena SeQuois, but I don't know how often I will be in.

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

Plei's Marvel/DC (comic book slash, hee) epiphany just led me to one of my own. Writing/acting issues aside, the biggest problem with Smallville is that while the Luthors still feel very DC, the rest of the show is trying to do Supes as a Marvel comic. So there's at least two levels of cognitive dissonance going on, and not in a fun way.

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

How would you describe Supes as being Marvel?

The stuff they're doing with Clark reminds me a lot more of Spidey than of Superboy, for one. Financial troubles, girl troubles, trying to keep a secret identity while in high school. That all seems very Marvel to me.

Granted, my heavy duty DC days are more from the 60s (via my older brother's extensive collection of DC) and 70s, so DC may have changed quite a bit. My latter day DC stuff was mostly Sandman/Hellblazer with the occasional Bat-story thrown in, but we're talking the Jason era.

I don't think even the Marveliest Marvel character is as whiny as SmallvilleClark, aka SuperTool. :)

Art Crawl!!!

So, are we actually expecting to see TotV part 5 tomorrow? Or is Dark Horse being over optimistic?

That was kinda my reflex. But I never got into Spiderman, or anything. And the mutant stuff insulated itself from the real world.

Now that I think about it, having been a large Titans fan, I didn't read much about people trying to have normal lives.
