It's starting to seem like the first incarnation of the Titans was ho training camp, at least for the boys
C'mon - teenagers with superpowers? That'd put the average rock star to shame.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

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.
Ultimate Spider-Man? Not so keen on. I think Peter Parker's character kinda annoys me, at least in the Ultimate series'. Didn't like him in the Ultimate X-Men crossover either. Though Daredevil was cool.
Huh. I like UXM, but I'm not overwhelmed by it. I absolutely love USM. (Though the most recent issue was kind of disappointing.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'll officially cave to Hec, since he seems to be the most officially informed here.
But I'm still calling it psychosis in my head, so nyah.
In continued matters of maturity -- I picked up District X #2 this week, which superficially seems like a Gothamising (or Bludhavening or Devil's Kitchening) of the mutant world. Bishop is a Fed assigned to work a mutant ghetto. It started out theoretically interesting in #1, and I think I may now be a bit emotionally involved. And not with the Bish.
Also got UFF #1 & 2. Dammit. I want to know what happens next. UXM 48 pleased, except why is Storm in a skirt? LoveLOVELove the Ultimate Wolverine. He's really hot. And I'm regaining my long-lost Nightcrawler love, because he takes the cheap shots I'd like to.

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

Ultimate Fantastic Four? Because if it is, then I agree. It's quickly becoming one of my must reads.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From an APA letter:
For the most complete description of psychotic symptoms, we suggest that the Department make reference to the discussion of psychotic symptoms at the beginning of the "Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders" in DSM-IV-TR (p. 297). This section of the DSM-IV-TR lists psychotic symptoms as "delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and disorganized behavior," as noted in the proposed VA rule, but also "catatonic behavior" which was not mentioned in the proposed rule. For completeness and consistency with accepted psychiatric terminology, we recommend that catatonic behavior be included as a psychotic symptom.
Batman: not hallucinating, not disorganized, not catatonic.

Ultimate Fantastic Four?
Yup.
And I've never read any FF that didn't cross over with the X-world. I know the story, because who doesn't (they like to re-explain in loving detail near the start of any mini-series crossover)? But not so much the people.
It's pretty seductive, plus Viktor has all the makings of a woobie for the demented.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Why should I read Starman?
I mean, I trust you guys. I just need to know about content so I know where it goes in the priority list.

I have a plan.
And I've never read any FF that didn't cross over with the X-world.
Oh, there's a good (old) one, not exactly a cross over with the X-world, but still involves them. It's the issue that introduces Gladiator. Anybody know more about that one?

Uh-huh. Had it back in the day. (And probably still do, albeit in storage.) Gladiator pretty much wipes the floor with them, IIRC.
