Definitely hit more than a few false notes this episode, but I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt on the whole “AOC = Antagonistic Overpowered Congresswoman” reveal. The Boys has proven to be a touch more smartly-written than the source material would imply, and more so than the naysayers give it credit… Read more
Yeah they linked to it right in the article. Got to get that imaginary Internet karma points for making comments I guess.
Co-signed. I’m wary of anyone who has lines of sex he’ll have with women he’s in love with that he doesn’t have with women he’s not in love with. “I like kinky stuff but not with the future mother of my child” = “women only matter to me in the ways they personally fulfill roles in my life, and thus should only be… Read more
I am definitely do not live in a Democrat-majority place, but I have, at the very least, been happy to see a nearly-total compliance with the mask mandate...except for restaurants and social gatherings. You would think the cognitive dissonance—this is fun but, you know, very deadly—would be enough to put people off… Read more

This sounds like exactly the type of comic I need right now. Thanks for the review, and after I read it, I expect I’ll be thanking Evan Dahm.
It is gloriously apropos that a movie featuring Illyana Rasputin has been stuck in Limbo for years.
Ah yes, the universally despised Glitter-equivalent flop.........Unbreakable.
The difference was that young Syd did a horrible thing which she felt awful about and then spent years not using her powers. Where as David never even accepted blame and got violently mad when confronted.
God-DAMMIT Barry!
I’m also sad the Jessie Ware album didn’t make the cut because it’s SO deserving. But, fwiw, a lot of us submitted our picks for these before the album was out—I had my list firmed up and sent in, then I heard What’s Your Pleasure the following week and immediately wrote it up for A-Sides. Thinking it’ll have a better… Read more
These lists would have 100x the comments without the slideshow.
‘B Rosenberger Rosenberg’? ‘Inigo Cutbirth’?!?!? I have time for Thomas Pynchon (at least early Thomas Pynchon) but by god he uncorked of a whole tide of (let’s face it) middle aged white dudes who think whimsical and occasionally violent things happening to people with silly names for nearly a thousand pages is what… Read more
It wasn’t Dante’s grave, unless you’re calling it that because he dug it. I was wondering why he bothered killing infirmary patient Cheryl, but he needed an excuse to dig the hole exactly where it had to be to connect to the network of tunnels. (I remember thinking, why is he digging a grave there; it didn’t seem to… Read more
If you thought those two paragraphs were bad, wait till you get a load of this Stan Lee guy and his "Marvel" Comics. Talk about effectively weaving political and social commentary into entertaining narratives. Why can't a man wearing an American Flag punch a Nazi without there having to be all this subtext?
