I'll say. I stopped reading X-men regularly around the time they introduced that character, so I didn't know half that stuff.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

I have a plan.

"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'm once again in awe of Wikipedia. That was remarkably concise, absolutely correct, and avoided all sorts of tangents and plot entanglements. Sady, I think Apocalypse is just as impossible to get rid of as Magneto. It's gotten to the point where "killing" either of them is anticlimactic as hell, because no reader really believes it'll be the real end of the character.
An aside: Apocalypse is also an External, which isn't a group so much as a term they use to define any mutant whose powers include immortality. Cannonball is one as well, or has been referred to as one at one point when someone "killed" him and he didn't die. I don't know if the Externals are canon anymore, though.

Um.
After ten years away, Astonishing got me to walk into a comics store again. The sooner Joss' run is over, the better for my wallet.
I liked the imagery of the teams faces upon seeing Colossus - and how similar imagery was used in #4. Plus the well-placed humour - "sweaty and inappropriate".
Anyhow, I found [link] useful for catching up with the X titles.

Hey. New board.
I also just read the fifth Astounishing.
My tongue is lolling.
That was frickin' great.

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.
So no JLU tonight. Cartoon Network is apparently doing a Samurai Jack/Clone Wars marathon. Are they just skipping it and Teen Titans this week or did they change the schedule?

I think it was just tonight. Sort of a Genedy Tartakovsy (sp?) tribute night. I've never seen JLU yet but I don't mind, I love Samuri Jack.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Samurai Jack was cancelled by Cartoon Network. They just showed the last four episodes last night.
52 episodes is a good run for a TV cartoon, especially for something that's risky and expensive to produce. Still, I wished there could have been a final episode where Jack gets to go back in time and complete his mission.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Samurai Jack was cancelled by Cartoon Network.
Whoa! The hell?

That would have been nice. I only saw one or two episodes. It was...different. But cool.

Art Crawl!!!
Just watched The Batman.
Featured villain was Bane. Is Bane a big guy who presses a button and becomes a super-collasal robotty guy in the comic?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Didn't it just win the Emmy for best animated show?
