Wow.
Teppy -- I hadn't considered that at all.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Really? It (the reaction panel where Leslie looks worried/shocked/scared) seemed straight out of a soap opera to me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Steph, I doubt it, if only because Spoiler's dad is the Cluemaster--worst supervillain name ever!--and someone I sincerely doubt Leslie would ever become involved with.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Huh. I interpreted that reaction as an "Uh, no, of course I haven't seen Spoiler, I don't know what you're talking about, I DEFINITELY DON'T KNOW THAT SHE'S THE CAUSE OF EVERYTHING" look.

Huh. Well, regarding the adoption records, I just remembered that Spoiler gave up her baby for adoption.

Shrift -- that is what I was thinking re: Lesley's search of the adoption records. Do we know who the daddy is?

Sumi, I haven't read all of the Robin backissues yet, but we know that Tim Drake certainly isn't the father. Other than that, I'm not sure if the father was ever named. Some jerk she was dating before she met Tim, and very possibly someone involved in criminal activity, considering Spoiler's father.
As for how Spoiler's kid would be relevant to the current storyline, though, I got nothing.

You could tell ASM #5 was a Joss project considering how many times I laughed my ass off. As has been said, the shot over Ord's shoulder of Peter was awe-inspiring. I laughed the laugh that Joss has made me laugh so many times, to the tune of, "[he] is so gonna kick your ass." The ending was pure Joss too, equal parts "oh crap" and "huh?" Just caught up on Uncanny and X-Men as well; they really, really need to stop depending on Wolverine to carry every X-book. It's getting farcical. Back in the day he appeared in just X-Men and Uncanny continued to sell just fine. Why they think he's a requirement for sales is beyond me.

The really A thing about AXM is that, and I don't think this is a spoiler, Joss writes a Scott I don't want to drop kick out the latest window. It's kind of making me twitchy.
John Byrne continues to piss off people left and right. The latest Byrne-isms come fast on the heels of his "women aren't wired right to read comics" claim.

Holy rusted metal, Batman, you're right. A friend ordered me to read some of her old X-Men trades at Dragon*Con, and I remembered why I often longed for someone to kick Scott's head in...
"women aren't wired right to read comics"
Was there a memo? I always miss the memo. And reading the above link, I kinda think Byrne ought to be locked in a room with Grace and Anissa.
