"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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.)

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Columbus Day is not a shipping holiday. UPS worked.
