I would say that DeKnight's work on ME shows is varied. (Isn't he responsible for the RV of Doom episode?)
Fred: The size and depth of the wound indicate a female vampire. Harmony: Or gay! Fred: Um…it doesn't really work like that.

is an unabashed "Spiral" lover
And yeah, it's varied (he did work on "The Girl in Question," though it's likely he was responsible for the good parts involving Illyria), but there's much good.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I hear Fables is good. However, his Batverse stuff is wretched.
Oh yeah. It's like me and Bendis. I admit a lot of his work, such as "Alias" and "Powers," is brilliant. But his work on "Avengers" sends me into white hot fits of rage.
Some people just shouldn't play with other people's toys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Victor, I was going to ask -- is it the normal Avenger line where he incurred your wrath?
Have you read The Ultimates?

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Did Bendis work on Ultimates? For some reason, I thought that was Millar.
Either way, I'm not a fan, though I like most of Bendis' work.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Bendis is writing the normal Avengers line. Badly. Apparently someone told him in a dream that all the Avengers must die, and he's just following that dream. But I love his Powers to death.
I didn't much care for Ultimates. Every single character is a dick.
As far as the strangling goes, didn't they finger Slipknot for that?
Slipknot was cleared by Wonder Woman's magic lasso o' truth. Plus he was in prison at the time of the attack on Jean.

Holli. DX, are you both Avengers fans?
Me, I like Ultimates, pretty much, but I don't think I've ever read an Avengers issue that wasn't crossing over with the X, so I have no sense of what went before, and not attachment to it.

The first issue of Avengers I ever read was #4, the one where they fished Captain America out of the ocean. It was one of my favorite books for a while.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
My first Avengers -- and it could actually be considered my first comic book in some ways, at least superhero comics that I consciously bought -- was somethign like #96, where Pietro kidnaps the son of the creator of the Sentinels and runs him across Australia in order to shut them down so that his sister Wanda could be saved. So very cool....

I love The Ultimates. Fun shit. And yeah, Holli, it's Millar. Though Bendis wrote Ultimate Six, which was the Ultimates + Spidey.
HULK WANT FREDDIE PRINZE JR.!
