I always boil water, either mircowave or a kettle. The vibe I'm getting from this article is my tea will be better (closer to near perfect) if I don't make the water that hot?

Interesting.

Is it just me, or is uploading/syncing really slow?

That looks pretty cool. Is it that simple: Just mail out a book and then you get a credit for a book to be mailed to you? What's with these prices next to titles?

On the note of books, I choose to start a new book or pick something I've just begun that I know will last me the whole trip based on my reading speed and style of the book. Though a speed reader would of course desire more.

That sounds cool. Speaking of, Geoff Johns has done wonders to the Aquaman character, putting all the "Aquaman sucks" naysayers in their place. Volume 1, The Trench, is a great graphic novel to pick up. As was the story for Volume 2, the The Others. What is coming next with the Justice League crossover looks to be…

Understandable. I've cut back, gained some, cut back some more. I'm currently in the "cutting back" phase. Good choice with Snyder's Batman! Hopefully you can grab some other graphic novels or find "other means" to experience other titles and authors. (There are so many good ones it makes my head spin though!…

Screen in DC and I'll do my best to make it!

I'm reading both Batman and Swamp Thing by Snyder. And Animal Man because the Rot World crossover is awesome (I started with Animal Man new 52 #1 as well). And I'm loving Wolverine and the X-Men, Gambit, and Hawkeye. I can't wait for Uncanny X-Men in February, but mostly because Chris Bachalo is doing the art. I'm…

The only good excuse I've seen is that it's a "passing of the torch" kind of thing. Like how there have been multiple Flashes, Hawkeyes, and Green Lanterns (and Goblins, and Captain Americas, and Batmen, and Batgirls, etc)—I guess my problem is that it's the same skin. And who is now claiming the title.

I might have to check this out.

Wow, so for a few years they've been planning on killing Peter because they want to phase out an old character and introduce new fans to someone new, but the same?

I've loved Spider-Man since his early 90's cartoon. I have loved what Dan Slott has done with his character since I started reading his title this year. But as much as I love Spidey, it's Peter Parker underneath that I (we all?) love, and making him Doctor Octopus under the skin is just different (dare I say wrong?).

Issue #3 is my favorite too!

I'm in the middle of Mr. Penumbra's right now and loving every minute of it! I sold it to to 2 customers today at work!

lol. The Crusades were definitely a bad idea. One that occurred a very long time ago.

My point was there are far more recent things to get caught up over than mistakes from decades ago, being an historical problem being fixed (and attacked) currently, whereas nowadays more appropriate measures are taken, and measures for such acts are usually dealt with internally anyway.

I'm not sure. Maybe I've been assuming who the founder was based on its name.

I feel that Wasp can be a great addition once the Pym particles (presumably) get introduced in the Ant-Man film.

She-Hulk would be a great reason to start working an a sequel to The Incredible Hulk.
