Willow ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
I loved the interaction between Nissa and her Dad in Outsiders. Also, the big Dick/Roy fight.
And I'm about 1 issue - or 1 month behind in Green Lantern. Is all the stuff about people close to Kyle who have been killed or died completely unconnected to IC ?
I'm not counting Cain out at all -- they've gone out of their way to make it look like he's playing the Brotherhood, not the X-Men. The Xorn thing, though? On the heels of a suspected betrayal from within? Why is he with them? However, he's in costume on the splash page. The fait seemed a little quickly accompli.
What's with Marvel's new 2099 titles? They're so weird. Daredevil 2099 is about some guy who dresses up as some sort of mecha-Daredevil, without any of Matt's actual abilities. I mean...what's the point?
Although the new official guide looked really useful. Relatively complete histories of the important characters, as far as I could tell. I had no idea Elektra had been introduced as recently as 1981. Also didn't know Karen Page was Matt's original girlfriend, which makes Kevin Smith's run particularly significant.
I mean...what's the point?
It's to separate you from more of your money.
Why 2099?
Fifth week event to keep their publishing volume up, something to do to test/entice Robert Kirkman a rising star among writers and to test the waters about a possible return of their 2099 line a mid 90s experiment.
This 2099 line appears to share only its name with the one that Marvel tried ten years ago (and which I followed pretty religiously for while until I realized the plots weren't that good).
I got to see Part Two of the X-Men I hadn't seen today. Fun time-travel mayhem. But, really, I have to say something:
YOU CAN'T SEE VIRUSES AND ANTIBODIES WITH A FUCKING MICROSCOPE.
That's all.
Maybe it was a scanning electron microscope?
Maybe it was a scanning electron microscope?
No, it wasn't. It was a light microscope. Which is what all microscopes look like on TV. SEMs look nothing like light microscopes. And besides, you don't look in an SEM, the computer does.
Also, there was the part where Beast could actually look in the microscope and watch the virus enter and infect cells in a matter of seconds. I must have been really young and stupid when I first watched this show. It's still good, but man. My disbelief must have been locked up in a coffin at the bottom of the ocean.
Maybe it was a scanning electron microscope?
It was a mutant telescope...
