I choked up a little when Wolverine said "Well, then I have two words for you..." I'm a sap like that.
Except he didn't say them...
Is there some sort of X-history I missed there?
"Fastball Special" is Wolvie's and Colossus's catch phrase for Peter launching Wolverine.
I stood in the comic book store and read Astonishing and when I got to the two page spread a squeed like the fan girl I am.
The
fastball special is a
Wolverine
and Colossus special. It's their thing.
A guy walked past me at krav in a GL toque, so I grabbed it off his head, and pretended to not want to give it back.
me: Well, if it were Superman I wouldn't let you wear it.
him: Why? What's wrong with Superman?
me: You gotta pick -- Supes or Batman.
him: Why do I have to pick? Can't I like them both?
me: Nope. It's like Wolverine and Cyclops. You can only like one.
him: But Wolverine and Cyclops are both cool.
me: You're some strange sort of comics ho.
him: You like Wolverine more, don't you? Cykes could totally kick his ass.
me: Please! Unpowered Storm can kick Cyclops around the room.
him: That was just the one time.
me: How many times do you have to be beaten by a normal GIRL?
him: Well, he was under..
me: Don't even say it!
him: ... the influence of the Goblin Queen.
me: Retcon! Retcon!
him, quietly: Retcon? We're probably the only two people in this room that know that word, and I'm going to pretend I don't. You're on your own.
me: ::waves freak flag::
eta:
Except he didn't say them...
Didn't need to.
Dude
likes
Cyclops? You gotta work on picking better people to flirt with.
Okay, ita's conversation with the guy at krav made me laugh until tears came streaming down my face.
The Tales of the Vampire tpb is coming out on November 24th.
him: That was just the one time.
Dude thinks Scott Summers is a better hand-to-hand combatant than Ororo? She took Lady WolverineCallisto out in a knife fight!
Sigh. I have this FEELING that my day is going to go "work, work, make grocery list while waiting for husband to get home, send husband out for comics and groceries, wait with NO patience whatsoever for the damn books."
