He also gave her a hair style that Ewing actively mocked at one point (because Land is really only capable of about three hairstyles for women…as being unable differentiate between Iilyana and Emma Frost as primary evidence).

I'm going to try out King's Vision and Ewing's Ultimates eventually, and I'm really looking forward to Coates' Black Panther run and I'll easily check out the new Captain Marvel series. I'm also curious where Robinson takes Scarlet Witch. As soon as the art teams change on those books, I'll probably bug out though.

I'm trying to make my way through the first Wolf trade right now and I'm struggling with it. It doesn't feel like the start of the series and instead like we should understand the basic premise of Wolfe and whoever the rich racist who's manipulating him. I'm usually a fan of being dropped into a story but this feels…

According to the production codes, there are 4 other episodes (including this one) before the Thanksgiving episode than the ones they initially aired.

Well, we do get two more seasons of Bob's Burgers at least.

It wasn't that they themselves were different but their realities were different. When Secret Wars started the only two characters who had an inkling to the multiverse were Doom, Strange, and the Molecule Man because they were literally the ones who created Battleworld. Everyone else that existed on Battleworld were…

Reading early X-Men comics is such a fucking chore, even when you include the Neal Adams issues. Those issues are amazing to look at but that's really about it.

It was good, but Cloonan does kind of show that writing isn't really her initial instinct as a lot of the comic feels like it's open for Andy Belanger to do his thing. Which is fine but it makes the comic feel narratively shallow at points when it really wants to be relatively trippy. Honestly though, I think that's…

Eh, they sort of do but in a good way. Henson's practical effects go a long way to making the world feel different and real, so the movie still works as its own reality. The same is true for Dark Crystal too.

It really depends. Durant's a hard player to read in general. If the Warriors and Spurs continue their dominant runs and if the Clippers pass them in the standings, which might lead to the Thunder be unceremoniously bounced in the playoffs (they match horribly against both the Warriors and Spurs), it would…

Shanahan is one of the most whiny, petty, and self serving people in the football coaching profession, a profession that's known for housing a plethora of these personalities.

I always pictured him as more a Lou Brown.

FIFA maybe.

My rooting interests go back with DC before I was even born but this season I just gave up on the NFL and the team this season (I'd bowed out of college football a long time ago). Between the concussions, the NFL's general corruption, Snyder's ownership, the DC area media (or really how the NFL is covered in general…

I always hate how the NBA's image in the '70s is generally framed as a problem placed on the players' shoulders.

If for some reason Durant leaves this offseason, Westbrook and Ibaka almost assuredly jet after the next season leaving the Thunder to build around Enes Kanter and Dion Waiters…so, maybe.

Yeah, he even points it out to T'Challa in Secret Wars, when Doom asks him recognize where Doom is coming from as they're both ruler of men. Doom doesn't really draw a difference between ruling over Latveria and humanity, it's really all the same to him, it's just his destiny to rule. I think that's an interesting…

I liked Southern Cross but Cloonan's characterization and narrative development was really sparse at points.

The thing I liked about the ending was how Reed and Doom should have complimented each but instead became rivals. It ties especially back to New Avengers #1, where Reed accepts that everything dies. This is something Doom would never accept something like this and expends the energy and options to acquire the power…

I think he just meant that for the next few arcs.
