And the Vision has Wonder Man's neural patterns, so they're sort of "brothers" extending the bizarre family even further to include Simon and his actual brother who is the Grim Reaper. And then there is also Jocasta who Ultron creates based on Janet van Dyne, and later Alkhema who was based on Mockingbird's brain…

Miller's Daredevil issues were where the Punisher went from a pretty generic bad guy of the month to an interesting character, at least for me. But he worked so well in the late 70's and 80's era when everyone was scared witless of inner city crime, youth gangs, and the mafia. Now that all the big mob bosses have…

So you think your Fetts should be seen and not heard? I should have known you were part of the anglo-hetero-Earther Patriarchy.

Tradd Moore got to draw Dr Octopus as an actual Octopus on the cover to this issue. That alone makes it a huge achievement in comic book history. This book took a few issues to grow on me, but I'm glad I stuck with it because it was hilarious and intelligent. And the covers really were fantastic.

It's a movie about shit blowing up, Will Smith acting cocky and charismatic, and Jeff Goldblum being an insufferable know-it-all douche. If you don't need to bring Will Smith to make a sequel to that explosion fest, you really don't need anybody else.

They're not bringing back the same potted plants from the backgrounds of shots, and the same alien models. Why make the effort of re-hiring a completely inessential part of a movie for a sequel? It's not like they're changing Wolverine between X-men movies and hoping nobody notices.

The money and fame were like a drug. But even more like a drug, were the drugs.

So they were a nice collection of the uninteresting members of X-men related groups. But combined they could be the Voltron of uninteresting characters, capable of being forgotten and unmissed on an awesome scale.

Usually people wait as long as they can to file in order to gather as much evidence as possible and cover as long a period as possible. In this case, more Iron Man movie profits increases your reward. And Marvel could make something that would be useful evidence, like a poster that looks like a book cover of yours,…

I'm willing to bet the Lamborghini, the dinosaur head, the incredibly rare comic books, the private island right next to Leo DiCaprio, and the mansion in New Orleans are all worth more now than when he bought them. The jet is something rich people buy, so I can understand that if he didn't know he was almost broke…

Maybe they're not actually the X-men from the main Marvel universe past. Maybe they're from another almost the same reality, one where Cyclops is kinda fun, Jean Grey isn't doomed, Hank has a crush on her, Bobby is gay, and Warren is slightly less boring. And yes, I feel immensely dorky for writing that. So Iceboi…

It's made from cows that like yoga?

If they could sell you horribly over-priced vodka, champagne, and clothes, why not music?

I don't know, I've got about $8k worth of stereo equipment, and the Geto Boys sound pretty fucking good on it. There are details in every musical style that you can savor.

Mastering is most of the difference between regular recordings and the high def versions. If you took the high res version and resampled it to cd quality, it would sound 99% the same. This has been shown numerous times in double blind studies. They just record things differently for what they intend to sell to a…

Lossless compression, Super Audio CD, HDCD, DVD-Audio, surround sound, there have been a lot of attempts to sell higher quality sound to the public, and the public has always gone for convenience and low cost instead. I am an audiophile, and there are quickly diminishing returns on most aspects of home audio. The…

Jean was always in a love triangle. The original one was Cyclops, Jean, Angel. Then came Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine.

Sailors did pray to Thor since he was a weather god. So a sailor dress is sort of appropriate. Tacky and cheap looking, but the idea makes sense.

Or a mashed potato sandwich on white bread with mayo?

Because they're concentrating on making Skye happen, of course.
