Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

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.

For Ult. X-Men, I'm also with the Gambit hair hate. And what's with that blue leopard print shirt? Add a big, feathered hat and he could be a 70's pimp.

For Ult. Spidey, Aunt May's "Not again" made me wonder if she was referring to Ben's death or did this draining thing happen before with Peter's father's research.

I did pick up Ult. Nightmare. Very much a setup issue and kind of confusing.

Thrive to spite them

I'm in the corner for Hating Gambit's hair. It's soo....godawful isn't the right word. It looks like he should be in a bad 80's hair bad. It looked a little bit like the leader singer of Whitesnake's hair. Only much worse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a question for Ultimate X-Men readers familiar with the Storm of old:

I was understandably excited to see Storm hack her hair off and change her wardrobe due to a crisis that caused her to question why she did what she did. I'm having a niggling suspicion that in this go-round of her persona, the crisis turns her into more of a pacifist, instead of loosing her from her vows like it did the first time.

Think so?

Oh! In 12-Cent, did anyone else immediately think "ita!" when we saw Onyx?

You're gonna make me go look this person up, aren't you?

I'm trying to find her in Google, ita. (For the record, it's Onyx II, I'm pretty sure.)

Interview with Teen Titans' Geoff Johns (VERY spoilery).

This bit made me squee: "a crossover with Outsiders focusing on Superboy and his genetic parents...." So much goodness there, my head may explode.

And this! Meep: "Do I want to lose Tim Drake? No. I love his friendship with Superboy -- and Robin is a central part of the team. But because of this development, it actually allowed us to shine a light on this friendship and ask the question -- would they be still be friends if one of them stopped playing super-hero?" The ficcers say YES.

The Titans are so pretty. I can't wait to see what this shot is all about.

I think it pretty much said in the article what's up with that. Unless you are remaining spoiler pure.

No, I mean character details. I don't know one of those people, and I'm really curious about why one of them gets to dress the way they are.
