Yep. Either you get it and laugh along with it, or you're going to be totally grossed out.

The Manhunter series from the 70s IS great. And not just for the art. Archie Goodwin wrote it.

I read the first one, just to see what all the hubbub was about, bub. It was okay.

Gotham City and Metropolis have never been that geographically close in the comics. They both sort of occupy the location of New York City in a nebulous way.

Mark: Okay, gents, I'd like to be a d***.

This puts me in mind of a Carol Leifer joke.

Mjolnir. Not that I'm worthy, but it would look great in the garden.

Yes it is bad form to call in sick to a job you just started. Better to go in and be sent home, or tough it out and put in the hours, and probably die tomorrow.

She got hit with an alien whammy built by the Kree, while Captain Mar-Vell was between her and it. Somehow she got alien DNA, the ability to fly, generate energy blasts, and super-strength from that.

February and May are not summer months.

Yeah, everybody rags on the Thor movies, but I like 'em, because they have Thor in them, and I realize that's why I like 'em, and I don't ever argue with anybody who rags on the Thor movies.

There was also a really good stand-alone issue that read like a Superman script, only starring Thor instead. He visits a guy in prison, etc.

I had a Spy vs. Spy book as a kid - MAD used to put out paperback collections all the time - and the preface explained Prohias' history. Only this was during the actual Cold War, so the commentary was a little more pointed.

Anywhere there was an outbreak of the plague, I assume.

That was Sergio Aragones.
