Nah, it's because Spidey ROOOOLZZZZ!!!1!
Though *I'm* going to marry him. Everyone else can keep their paws off, including that tramp Mary Jane.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

I just feel the need here to beat a dead horse by pointing out that the whitefonted discussion of the latest Batman above? Was a critical reading of a text.
Also, I have not had Buffista dreams, but I did have an anxiety dream about yoga the other night, which woke me up full of adrenalin and a sense of irony. And I missed Free Comics Day.
Those two last points are not related.

You can have his scrawny ass, Steph. I'm off to bear Wolvie's children. Nummy hairy treat that he is.

I'm not sure I get it -- people (those very people) do that in here all the time, and I think they know it.

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.
I am startled, however, at how many people are "Spidey fan[s] from way back".
Hey, I loved Spidey as a kid and dressed up as him all the time. (My sister would dress up like Wonder Woman. This lead me to laugh my ass off when Jack Black and SMG did the Spidey and Wonder Woman bit on the MTV movie awards a few years back.) I never read the comics, but I used to watch "Spiderman and His Amazing Friends" every Saturday morning and when we first got a VCR I convinced my parents to rent every single episode of the 70's cartoon they had at the video store. So I may not be a hardcore fan, but I can honestly claim the "from way back."

Hee!
We used to occasionally rent a VCR, back in the day.
The things we rented? Time After Time and (at my demand) Spider-Man cartoons.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I should note that in a piggyback marketing move, the original sixties Spider-Man cartoons are now out on DVD.

Just read NML #1 -- good stuff. One leftover question--Leslie Thomkins explicates a fair amount of her history with Bruce, but how does she know about Batman?

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

This was actually the first time I'd seen the character, and I've yet to learn any real backstory on her, except that Bruce sees her as a sort-of mother figure. She may well have pieced it together on her own, but that's a guess.
Also, at people's recommendation, I picked up The Flash the other day, and quite enjoyed it.
Now, can someone please get me up to speed? Pardon the pun.
Also, unenthralling haul from the comic book store the other day--picked up Astonishing X-Men, which is still OK, and the new Firestorm, which is promising. Flash and Ultimate FF were definitely the stand-outs.
Avengers and Avengers/Thunderbolts were... OK. Just OK. Avengers is trying my nerves right now, and may go the way of JLA. And of course, I bought JLA #100, just to say I made it that far, and actually was midly interested in the story. Mildly. Didn't stop me from dropping the title from my pulls, though. May give JLA Elite a try. We'll see.

I'm very curious about how this Firestorm is working -- Victor, do you see it as him merging with whoever's there when he flames on, or do you think this new guy is stuck with him?
