From everything I read, SF/F fandom (not just in comics) sounds awful…

Isn't there a theory that says prejudice gets more explicit and vicious as the targeted group starts to make in-roads?

Especially if written '50s Batman style. "Do you have a problem with that, Batman?" And all his crimes would involve math-problem clues.

The current Silk title is great.

I don't know "we" …. but I liked DKR, in a similar way to how I like "Dirty Harry", even though I'm a pinko lefty. Because its conservatism comes from a visceral emotion that I can relate to, and is interesting, even though I disagree with it on a political level.

And why, if his name is "Iron Man," does he wear heavy boots of lead?

I've got my eye on that Tarbosaur skull, if he ever has a garage sale.

Show tunes?

To be fair, the original Lee/Ditko run is filled with blatant appeals to the teen demographic.

Ah! In that case, carry on.

Why would you draw an anarchist "A" on an T-shirt with a Sharpie, when you could just spend $20 at Hot Topic?

1. Obvious pandering is obvious.
2. (At least, if Spider-Man is Peter Parker) He was a dork in the '60s, so presumably he would be a dork in the '10s. While Flash and the rest were at sock hops, he was at home studying with that microscope Uncle Ben bought for him.

Huh … well, that may be right, though it's not how I read it.

yelling, “Well, anyway!”

But she literally got a scarlet letter on her face.

Interesting, I didn't read "Everyone is bisexual" as a sarcastic comment, because lots of people do say that. So I took it as Jean quoting a bit of conventional wisdom, which she then contradicts.

Oh, got it … "Came out" as in literally the character came out during the narrative. Yeah, Catwoman would count.

Re bisexuality: "They say everyone is" isn't even Jean endorsing that view, because she immediately says the opposite, no?

Batwoman?

I'd say it's on the cartoony end of the scale, but personally I really like it.
