... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

Varying intervals?

What a horrible ruler.

Ha! Even while you were posting, I was editing to make you look mad. MOO HOO HA HA! Now, stand helplessly by while I launch your house into space!

I borrowed a mess of new universe stuff a year or so back, and dug SF:M in a big way.

Suicide Squad was a bit of guilty pleasure. Sudden and unpredictable death was really the only card it had to play (I'm talking about the more recent one, mind you. Only ever read one ish of the older version).

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Everyone should read Art Spiegelman's book on Plasticman and his creator, whose name I'm blanking on at the moment.

Great book (expanded from a New Yorker piece) and I'm completely blanking on the creator too. The main source of my comment about what a long/strange trip Plas had to DC.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Whiny Firestorm? Whichj expalins why DC is relaunching him, again...

Heh. Except, it's not Ronnie anymore. It's a black teenager from Detroit.

Ronnie right now is at the top of the "deadpool"list for the upcoming "Identity Crisis" miniseries.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Okay, just gotta say...

I'm really enjoying Scott Tipton's "Comics 101" articles.

That is all.

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

I no longer consider Plastic Man a complete joke of a superhero.

Awww, man. The original old Plastic Man was about the coolest superhero ever. (Even Alan Moore subscribes to this theory.) Jack Cole was genius.

THANK YOU, Hec! The memfault was driving me nuts, and I couldn't get around to googling.

Now I'm earwormed for CCR, except now it's 'Keep on Googling'.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

What? You're going to make them suck?

Nah. JLA's doing that all on its own.

Preach it, brother. First, Dennis O'Neill, then Claremont and Byrne have really stunk up the place with their runs in JLA. Next up, Chuck Austen - sheesh. When they announced that they would go with rotating creative teams to tell "one great JLA story", I was expecting much more than this.

Ronnie right now is at the top of the "deadpool"list for the upcoming "Identity Crisis" miniseries.

What are some other good candidates? From the little bit I've seen of the previews for Identity Crisis, it appears that Green Arrow is strongly affected by whoever is in the coffin, and I'm unaware of any close ties between GA and Firestorm.

I really need to check these out. Where was that link again?

Awww, man. The original old Plastic Man was about the coolest superhero ever.

I have to say, I've always though there was something wonderful and quirky about Plastic Man.
