I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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

From IMDb:

The full cast of anticipated movie The Fantastic Four is expected to be announced next week, with actor Michael Chiklis remaining as favorite for the role of The Thing. The movie, which follows the exploits of mutant astronauts Reed Richards, Susan Storm Richards, Benjamin Grimm and Johnny Storm, better known as Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, The Thing and the Human Torch - will begin filming in August). Producer Avi Arad, who will bring the Marvel Comics favorites to the big screen, is expected to make the public announcement about the movie, which will be helmed by Barbershop director Tim Story. Fantastic Four creator Stan Lee says, "Chiklis is tough and rugged, yet he has a likable quality - and that's The Thing." Mean Girls star Rachel McAdams is emerging as a likely choice to play Sue Storm. Arad hints, "She's be great. We like her a lot."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I recall rolling my eyes that the cuckolded husband just happened to become a new super-villain, but I don't remember anyone being particularly outraged about Wally's actions.

Who then, like MOST Flash SVs, reforms. And becomes a good guy.

And gets the wife back.

Flash is the oddest comic.

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

Dude, his main antagonist is a SUPER-EVIL GORILLA. That sets the weird bar pretty damn high to begin with.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Not to mention the guy whose superpower is spinning really fast. Or the guy whose superpower is that he has a boomerang.

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

Okay, just poppin' in to say...

MY WIFE IS THE BESTEST WIFE IN THE WHOLE FRIGGIN' UNIVERSE!!

Why, you ask?

Because I am now the owner of Miracleman 1-16 in the individual issues and 17-22 in TPB form. My wife, Empress of Empresses, filled in the missing issues 11-14 for me today.

My wife? Bestest. In. The. Friggin'. Universe.

Accept no substitutes.

Thrive to spite them

All hail The Empress.

I have Greg Rucka's novel A Fistful of Rain I think it's that one. Mom gave me a bunch of books she just finished, she liked Rucka's novel the best.

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

Dude, his main antagonist is a SUPER-EVIL GORILLA. That sets the weird bar pretty damn high to begin with.

Flash really has the most colorful Rogue's Gallery. Always been a big part of the character's allure. Batman and Superman aside, most of the rest of the DC Universe never developed such an array of villains. There was always a sort of giddy joy in a Captain Cold or Weather Wizard when they appeared.

I have a plan.

My wife, Empress of Empresses, filled in the missing issues 11-14 for me today.

After you have them bronzed, can I read them?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

I liked the buzz about John C. Reilly as the Thing. Chiklis is good, don't get me wrong, but something about JCR...
