Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is there any real difference between Morph's powers and Mystique's? Have there been any fun Morph vs. Mystique fights?

Looking up Mr. Sinister on wikipedia caused lots of clicks on names like Stryfe, Madelyne Pryor, and Legacy virus. Man, that shit is crazy. You introduce time travel, and you can do just about anything, huh?

So it says Colossus needed to die in order for the cure to work. I guess his body needed to manufacture antibodies or some such thing, but I'm not seeing why he had to die. It says Beast wanted the cure to enter the atmosphere, but dude. If he disintegrates, it'll enter that several hundred cubic inches of atmosphere and that's it. How did it end up curing everyone?

Also, I didn't realize Cable's entire purpose in life was to kill Apocalypse. How amusing.

"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

Morph's power allows him to assume any shape; so far Mystique can only assume human forms. Advantage: Morph, I would say, except Mystique is older and much more ruthless, so I wouldn't turn my back on her.

I have the issue in which Colossus sacrificed himself, Uncanny #390. What spreads the cure into the atmosphere is the energy discharge caused by the activation of his mutant power (he releases a small but apparently volatile quantity of energy when he changes to steel form). The combination of some innate quality of the cure and the energy of a mutant power activation forced the cure out into the world. Sure, the science is a little iffy, but if you're going to allow that a man can change his skin into steel (which is a man-made alloy and occurs nowhere in nature) then suspension of disbelief kind of demands you cede the floor to Hank McCoy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

About last week's Outsiders issue: My reaction was "Jade, you ninny, you broke up the fight just before they were going to start making out! Have you never watched Cheers?!?"

Also, I was going to comment about the artist only being good with static scenes and not showing motion, body language, or varied angles well at all. then I realized it was Dan Jurgens. Well, duh.

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

Matt, BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Matt, ME TOO. Between that and the sparring afew issues back, I'm thinking Winick is trying to tell us something.

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

This week, I'll be buying:

  • Ultimate Nightmare #3 (Of 5)
  • Ultimate X-Men #52
  • X-Men The End Book One Dreamers And Demons #4 (Of 6)
  • Batman Legends Of The Dark Knight #184
  • Nightwing #98

It's been a light few weeks.

Are they really shipping tomorrow, even though yesterday was a holiday?

So does Graham Crackers website. I don't think that most business are closed for Columbus Day. (My local library was open for example.)
