Sorry for the trifecta, but check out these photshopped comic book covers. The first page isn't great; they get better as they go along.

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

Has anyone read the Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk?

I think it's because I'm old and greedy that I don't think much happens in one issue anymore, and because I'm old and jaded I don't expect it to.

That having been said...I liked the pacing of this. And I'm really curious to know if this weakness of Wolverine's will be exploited anywhere else. In any other comic, I mean, not anywhere else on his body.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Figured I'd mention this here since it's comic-related.

Got the Ultimate Spiderman video game for Christmas. Beat it yesterday. Game is ridiculously short, but fun. Also has good voice acting and some really great lines. After you win you get the ability to play Spidey and just swing around the city doing random hero stuff (which you also can do during the regular game if you want. Nothing forces you to go the next story point, other than Spidey mentioning it every 5 minutes or so) or Venom and do random rampagey stuff (which you can't do during the normal game, as the Venom levels are goal-specific).

My only real complaint is that non-boss badguys will keep getting back up after a certain amount of time unless you web them when they're KOed, but the fighting system encourages you to keep clobbering people until they're all down (Spidey's damage increases as you bounce from target to target and score consecutive hits) which means sometimes you'll get an impressive combo going on a bunch of dudes, but if you don't pay attention the first guys you KOed will get back up before you finish taking out their buddies. Another annoying thing is when you do stop to try to web up the KOed guys, their still moving buddies have a bad habit of stepping in the way and getting webbed instead and by the time you re-target, the KOed guy is back on his feet.

Overall, I definitely say it's worth a rental. Probably not worth buying unless you're one of those people who will spend hours and hours unlocking all the costumes and artwork and whatnot.

Bleargh. Not happy about this X-development. I hope it ends in pain. As long as it ends.

Wait, wasn't Wolverine panting after her once he got tired of waiting around for Jean to pop up out of her grave like a jack-in-the-box? What happened between them?

Wolverine and her still have the same sort of "Yeah, I think you're hot too, but let's just hang." relationship. I seem to recall her going on a date with Nightcrawler relatively recently, actually. But then I think he got caught up in Marvel Girl, and then they trashed the whole thing.

But her and Wolvie have been fairly constant in mutual regard.

I know all the dates turning out to be possession victims and clones and alien shapeshifters has to get tiresome after a while, but these mutants really need to get out and meet new people.

Take a group of DC writers.

Put them in a room.

Let them plot until the echo chamber effect happens and they start to giggle like madmen, or like geeks who've spent WAY too long trying to top the craziest idea the last guy had.

Lather.

Rinse.

Repeat.

That's my theory, at least.

Give them a bit of weed, the good stuff because DC is good like that, and your theory makes perfect sense.
