'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
My list for today:
Nightwing 94
Identity Crisis 1
Green Arrow 39
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight 180
See if lame little store still has any copies of Astonishing X, which I still haven't picked up.
And a new scanner to, uh, do things I would never ever do.
It has, actually. Check out Peter David's X-factor run after 72 or 73. Havok spent some time in a suit that, while not necessairily better, was much more in line with the style of the time. (He had an onion on his belt).
What time period was that? All I know if he first appeared in the 60s and I'm now up to the mid-eighties and he's still wearing the same really dumb-looking outfit.
Also, Rogue looks really odd (and rather middle-aged) with her initial hairstlyle.
Not sure why people were up in arms about Mystique in the movies beating the crap out of people, because she seems to do it quite a lot in the comics so far (when she's not using a gun, anyway.)
amych - yesterday was driving out to visit friend who lives in the complex I'm hoping to move into, and as we drove by Ultimate boyf goes - "Hey, there's a comic book store here!" I said "That's why I'm moving here. I mean uh... that's... an added benefit to moving here."
But in the comics she doesn't have super ninja fighting powers. She has extreme human fighting powers.
My list:
Last Bone? I had no idea. Haven't read it in a little while but .... t adds to list

Where exactly is that line? I mean, in a book I just read she muses she would have snapped Wolverine's neck with a kick if not for his adamantium skeleton.

The line is that I know people IRL who can do that. I don't know anyone who could do what she did in the movies.
I guess I just chalk it up to Hollywood inflation where an average action hero can often pull off as much or more than a highly-trained fighter.
She's disproportionately inflated, though. When you rate her alongside the other people in the movie, she's on a par with the other combat powered folks, and perhaps even more acrobatic. She's not on that level in the comics.
