See that's the thing. Grief tends to be overly melodramatic, melancholic and unsubtle. Grief is not a teacher and any layers we attribute to it are generally attempts to rationalise what feels like senseless pain. This comic sought to embody that and by most accounts, pulled it off.

But mostly Angels.

@avclub-a3e80e62340f85e584f072b212415d32:disqus You raise a good point. The rarity of Afrobeat samples ensures that the mix gets extra props just for existing. I too probably would have also preferred the use of earlier De La but I think his selection and use of Fela tracks was…

@avclub-24285ac5fdc310a2a0b518e5d86cd608:disqus In fairness I have to take my hat off to the little bastard. His execution was flawless.

If you think so you'd probably enjoy this cover.

Yesterday my nephew threw up into my mouth. It was no hilariously cheerful.

Persevere. Its worth it.

I'm a huge Fela fan so naturally I probably lean the other way.

What would the Pharcyde sound like over reworked Tribe samples?
Here's your answer

He ain't lying.

@avclub-5c341d10c5596a0fd920fda9f33bcb06:disqus  While I agree that there is more room for dialogue on this issue than many are willing to allow, InactionMan's point was based on the idea that there's a strong consensus within the black community that the word should go away and that black people find the word to be…

@avclub-5c341d10c5596a0fd920fda9f33bcb06:disqus Maybe you're the one missing the point. It was never about mitigation. Nobody really thinks you can diminish hundreds of years of history by recontextualising a word. It's about control. It is a recognition of what we have become and a rejection of those that would wish…

Sadly it's impossible (as I discovered) to explain to somebody why it's so funny without completely ruining the joke.

I was 10 when it came out and have no idea where I first saw it, so yeah, for a while it was pretty much inescapable.

Since when did the NRA have a monopoly on annoying co-workers?

Yeah, if he was going that far outside of the mainstream there are a ton of albums in between that would have better illustrated his point than Lee Fields'.

It's certainly convoluted, a lot of loose ends, but that doesn't necessarily make it complex. GL has done a great job laying the groundwork for further plot development and has slowly been fleshing out the main characters whilst giving them a lot of room to breathe. In that sense it's similar to what Justice League…

Its definitely creepy but I'm pretty sure that's the point. Both are painfully aware of how weird the situation is and the fact that she based her form and personality on Razer's memories of his dead wife gives it a legitimate basis. At any rate I find it more compelling and believable than any of the relationships on…

I'm really starting to feel that the Green Lantern series is the better show. It's working with less but seems to be doing so much more with it.
