Been saying that The Iron Giant is an Elseworlds Superman movie for YEARS. A phenomenal one at that. Thank you for making me feel les weird.

Another interesting take entirely from personal experience: you can have children AND still do things. Like, A LOT, of things, albeit a whole lot of them skewed towards catering to them, but being able to do things and share them with the little Monsters while you teach them why those things are great is one of the…

I think you might be my opposite me. I might be the bizarro you.

I just remembered I didn’t remember all that Fourth World going on at the end, it’s true! It hit me like a ton of bricks. And while I never cared much for Cyborg, I fell in love with Firestorm,for some reason. I have a six year old daughter who loves *all* things Titans, and that includes (but is not limited to)…

It IS weird, because I watched it as a kid in the late 80's and I remember it being pretty significant for a while. I remember disliking all the collarbone he showed, for some reason. But maybe he was part of the latter seasons?

In 1992,when I was 12 years old, I visited family in California, my first ever visit to the US. I went to a comic book store for the very first time (there would be none for at least another year here in Mexico City.) The Image books had just come out and picking up that issue of Spawn #1 is still one of the strongest…

Except the ´Skins *did* finally have a franchise quarterback. He was watching at the sidelines, holding a clipboard.

I’m all for that, and I’m a big fan of The Book of Life and I’m quite excited for Coco. However, as a Mexican, it *does* make me think, “There’s more to Mexico than Día de Muertos, you know?”

In Mexico, and presumably in other latin countries, it’s called “Nata.” While I grew up hating the naturally ocurring version of the stuff, it’s used to make bread and muffins and cookies that are too glorious for words. The stuff itself you can buy it from dairy farms in tubs, so you can spread on your bagel.

Clarence is also a constant reminder that whatever your kid is, it’s perfectly ok; that their tendency to oscillate between savage creatures of the wild and British Victorian aristocrats is part of the magic.

A part of me wishes I was still at an age where I could sit down for three hours in a single stretch.

...And so the cow said “No.”

“Trust me, I was human twice.”

And she had her own series by Brian K Vaughn and I own it all and it was awesome and it’s also the reason why I want a DC Unlimited service where I can read the DC archives so I don’t have to go to my longboxes to look it up. I’m lazy.

I’m a huge Spider-Boy nerd. That comic is such an amazing display of why these two universes have the characters that have conquered the world. I’m lucky enough to have my copy of Spider-Boy Team Up signed by the great artist Lladrón, too!

It’s been out here in Mexico for a few weeks now, and I was so excited to take my daughter out for the first time since my wife gave birth to our second baby. They stayed home, while we were gonna have father-daughter Disney bonding time and cry together, except she hated it and we left about 25 minutes in.

I play acted as C3P0 all the time. It was the droids and the Ewoks that made Star Wars for me.

This is the jerk that drops glasses from shelves when he doesn’t get the food he likes.

As an english-as-a-second language speaker, these mistakes are even more disconcerting. They make you doubt yourself and all your years in those stuffy schools, but then you realize that no, it’s the native speakers who are wrong. It’s a weird feeling.

I don’t think he will, and it’s fine. I agree with you completely, but I’ve learned to let go. Think of this: some people don’t like the Beatles. Or Shakespeare. OR PIZZA. And they have well thought out and argumented reasons for it. To each their own. (Of course, when you learn to let things like these go, the world…
