Good to have Astro City back. Hell, it's good to have Kurt Busiek back. He's a writer with a good feel for plot and character, and he isn't afraid to do ambitious things. If it wouldn't be terribly redundant, I'd demand that DC get him on one of the Superman titles.

What I find humorous is the idea that FBI, DEA, and Customs would ever work together on a regular basis, without constant turf battles, or tripping over their dicks.

How about that crapfest where Michael Ealy and that blond guy whose name escapes me, portrayed police partners under going couples counseling (as they say, no h*mo)?

I will always say, the ex-spousal rape really killed that show for me.

I haven't watched this yet, but, sure, keep the coverage. Somebody must need something to do besides review old shows this summer.

One of my favorite James Moments is when, on the JB's single, Funky Good Time, James directs the whole band to change the key they're playing in. "To get down, I got to get in D," he says. And the band changes keys ON A DIME. Excellent.

Agree completely. I am especially frustrated at how they've ruined Cap's book with this long, dreary, misguided Arnim Zola storyline. I felt it was wrongheaded when Remender and Romita first started it, but the longer it's gone on, the worse it's gotten.

And I'm not really ragging on Morbius. I'm at least familiar with the character since his Gil Kane/open snout days. I'm really criticizing Marvel's approach to who gets a book these days. There are pretty much dozens of characters worthy of series that are familiar and do have a following, bu get overlooked.

Gee, Morbius is cancelled. Who didn't see that coming? Marvel, when I said try giving books to different characters, I meant characters who had some kind of following!

There's this thing where Marvel runs a cover, every few months, of Storm making out with one of her longtime teammates that she has displayed no romantic chemistry with before then. First Cyclops, in Astonishing X-Men, and then Wolverine, in Wolverine and…

Wood flagrantly ignores continuity, in respect to the changes Marvel has perpetrated on Jubilee in the last couple of years (i.e., vampirism)? I feel better about this book already.

Nobody seemed to be doing any kind of job gatekeeping Marvel's shows. For example, Ultimate Spider-Man, one of the most inane superhero shows since the 1980's, features adolescent versions of Power Man and Iron Fist. But an episode of Earth's Mightiest Heroes guest-starred the normal, adult versions of the same…

I got my version of that story from the recent book, Inside Marvel Comics, which also recounted how some poor sap in the Bullpen, maybe Bill Mantlo, was given the job of drawing goofy triangular noses on Iron Man's mask, following Stan's crazy and arbitrary orders.

For utter Iron Man stupidity, you can't beat the nose that he had in the mid-seventies. According to the story, Stan Lee, on a whim, ordered artists to start drawing a nose on Iron Man's mask, that looked like a funny little triangle on the page. And then, after months of having Iron Man looking vaguely stupid, Stan…

Disqus has been a major asspain for me for the past few weeks.

Marvel reboots this shit so often, it's gotten ridiculous. Earth's Mightiest Heroes was pefectly fine. They couldn't have overlaid that on top of this? Still, it can't be worse than Ultimate Spidey.

These contradictions that you dislike about Kanye are some of the things I find fascinating. Kanye is, or has been, a hipster who likes or collaborates with, Iron and Wine, Justin Vernon, and Daft Punk. But that makes him so insecure that he goes running to some of the more dubious members of the hip-hop community…

It was unclear in the end, with all that walker-destruction, mad-fleeing, and crow-chasing, but can someone tell me if Sam picked up that dagger before he and Gilly ran away? Because, if not, what the fuck?
