First (and only) pulp series I ever collected in its entirety ... well written, vast in time and space, clever (in a filksong kind of way) and engaging, I loved this series immensely, though picking it up for the first time, I had deep misgivings.
Author Robert Adams died in 1990, RIP.

A fanged Schmoo! Who wouldn't be excited?

Butter.

Andrew Garfield?

You are absolutely correct.
Don't be pedantic.
I am a History Major. Counting words is like math or English or something.

Don't worry. In a couple of years they will reveal newly interpreted Chinese photos that prove 67P is covered in feathers and brightly coloured as a peacock.
Just wait.
Oh, and it's no longer a "comet." It's now a "dwarf moonlet."

I am, perhaps, showing my age and innocence, but there was this scene from one of the early X-Men comics that really disturbed me.

I kinda liked The Way to Eden (Herbert). And Catspaw was pretty funny, it's own goofy way. When Sylvia turned into the matchstick hula doll at the end ... smokin'!

This is not necessarily true of novelizations of movies. For instance, the book drawn from Forbidden Planet was

Great movie. Meh novel.

Take the band of kryptonite off the poor thing and he'll make it fine.

Good catch.

So Marvel has made the name "Thor" a title? And what does that title actually mean, since I happen to know several gentlemen named Thor and would like to address them correctly.

Thor's gf? Thor's wife? Thor's mom? Thor's sister?
Which?
I mean, Thor is the son of Odin, step-brother to Loki, brother to Baldur, slayer of the Midgard Serpent (Pyrrhic victory, sure), owner of the fabulous goatsled (where you can eat the goats for dinner every night and they are whole in the morning).
