I don't think working in the comics industry pays well enough anymore for everyone to being doing coke. It's down to meth now, or huffing paint.

But it's Wolverine with a mowhawk and tattoos, and Wolverine as a sexy, sexy teen! How can that be boring?

Of course. Demonstrating a deep understanding of comics editorial practices is always fun at parties.

If she's living in a sort of closed off pocket reality where the nastier aspects of the Bat-verse will never rear their heads

In my case, a better question might be what didn’t I read, since I decided to ignore my Doom Patrol Ominibus, some Mind MGMT trades, and a stack of Trees so that I could spend time reading some Marvel Unlimited mediocrities. I mean, I knew that X-men/Fantastic Four crossover would be dumb and pointless, but I just had…

Not only is it superfluous, it's antagonistic because it doesn't allow those of us who don't like this direction to move on.

'of COURSE she's going to get super-drunk, that's what The Youngs do these days!'

The X-Men do age, albeit very slowly and very inconsistently. The present day O5 are in their thirties (and jokes have been made about how old Scott looks).

Hehe. I really want to re-read that article, but if I do I'll burst out laughing at work…

The most recent issue (number 5 I think).

The original five X-men were brought into the present so they could prevent the present from becoming the original X-men's future…but now they're stuck here.

Right? Deadpool's extremely violent, repulsive looking, utterly amoral, and obnoxious as fuck. How is that going to translate to a crowd pleasing, mainstream superhero movie?

If anyone here is interested in Valiant comics, Humble Bundle is offering digital copies of a ton of Valiant book for $10 - $15.

I thought I'd made my peace with never having acheived the Dark Boy, but your comment just dredged up old memories. How I hate/love this game.

Oh, Original Sin was disappointing? How unexpected. Well, don't worry, AXIS and Time Runs Out are right around the corner, and will assuredly be super awesome, well-plotted, not total-wastes-of-time that suck the life out of the books that are forced to incorporate them. Make sure you buy every issue! You wouldn’t…

That's…really dumb. I'm normally perfectly willing to accept "Because comics!" as a reason for plot points, and even I'm having a hard time with this one.

In the same vein, that's a really nice ass and boob shot of Danger up there. :/

I read the first Sex Criminals trade and liked it well enough, but I also thought Jon was kind of a piece of shit. Not sure I'll pick up the second collection if he's the focus.

Did you make it through the Cross-time Caper? I got bogged down around issue 18, and never managed to finish.

Oh, I’ve read X-force/-statix; that’s one reason the run was
so disappointing. I dunno, I think I’m just going to go ahead and blame Quesada for it.
