I'm not arguing equivalence but rather that both are books that you wouldn't want to give to a young child.

Read up on The Killing Joke from 1988. The Joker basically does the same thing to Commissioner Gordon. Maybe less gory but definitely more psychologically traumatic.

It's true that the mainstream comic books, these days, are not targeted at small children.  They are targeted way more at the adults who have been reading comics for the past twenty years. And while the aging of the industry's audience is a problem it's mostly unrelated to the violence. The over-reliance on continuity

SERIOUSLY THERE WILL BE SPOILERS OF FANTASTIC FOUR #600 IN THIS COMMENT!!!!!!

Louis C. K. is offering his new special online starting this weekend too. Just felt like someone should remind people.

Judge, I believe it's a reference to Colbert's book I Am America, (And So Can You).

I didn't think the Target deception was that mean because it was December 16th. The dude could have easily gotten another ladybug in the next week.

It's pretty awesome. It's the only comic on me that instills a sense of dread in me because there's a new and horrifying twist every other issue.

To play devil's advocate for a minute, it's not really Watchmen 2. I hear it's going to be standalone stories from the Watchmen universe.  Which puts this out of the level of sacrilege and more on the level of "Why?" since the Watchmen characters are just archetypes for characters that already exist in the DC Universe.

"It's going to come out at some point…"

Wow, I never realized how fucked up the music industry is. STHoldings pulled 200 "indie" labels from the service.

OK, I'll stop being angry about it, if you stop writing articles about it daring me to comment.

OK so if radio is so important to you, and Classic Rock and 90's Alternative being kept separate is important to you. Then the only answer is to create a 90's Alternative radio station.  Obviously, this will fail.

"Classic rock serves a specific purpose in my life: nostalgia."
That sentence from the article disagrees with you.  Also if y0u think Creedence Clearwater = Billy Joel = David Bowie then you don't deserve ears.

Who would have thought at the beginning of the season that between this and 2 Broke Girls, this would turn out to be the better show?  They're both aimed squarely at the same audience but while New Girl plays it safer it's also much funnier.  2 Broke Girls tries so hard to be "edgy" but forgets to let us care about

Who wants to put money on whether they will pronounce it with a long 'o' sound and a Mexican accent?

Whichever it is, its a clumsily done example of it.

No, he didn't. He's a strong advocate of it, and he routinely donates drawings to raise money for it, but he didn't create it. His "actions" are equivalent to the drummers in the drum circle. They'd probably be drumming anyway.

Only if that "something" is the death of muslims.
