Not germane to this discussion.

The categories "Bot5A's Intended Audience," "Imaginative Children," and "Texans" make for one hell of a lopsided Venn diagram, but props to this kid for making it possible.

There's a cheery verse in Ratigan's villain song, "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind," about him having drowned widows and orphans, too.

Absolutely true! That was a quote from an issue of Runaways where the point about Old Lace being a Velociraptor vs. Deinonychus was raised (and the relative scariness of raptors / efficacy of a gymnastics-based defense was similarly addressed).

Mouse the temple dog from the Dresden Files. Yes, please, I would like a massive magical guard dog who masquerades as a therapy animal for adorable children.

Mjolnir translates to "That Which Smashes," which is pretty awesome in my book.

I like your answer, but it's made me sad because I started thinking about them using Doctor Doom's time machine to send you a C&D in the past, and I would pay actual money for a series that was "Doctor Doom: Time Traveling Process Server."

All I can say about this is that, whatever happens, I hope Doomstadt remains the capital of Latveria, or else I'm going to feel even sillier when someone asks me "What's the capital of Latvia?" and I respond on instinct.

Marvel's lawyers would like a word with 8-year-old you.

Well, if we want to get technical… Which of course we do we're having a discussion of comic books on the internet. So them + all the other Golden Age creators + Ditko and the rest of the '60s Bullpen + everyone since—they've all been creating the Marvel Universe for the last 76 years.

It's a nice dream. In the meantime, I'll go read the Sean Howe book again.

They're not the bosses of me.

Immediately mistrust the veracity of any article that includes the line "Stan Lee created the Marvel Universe in the early '60s[…]" without also mentioning Jack Kirby.

And at the time of this writing, Hanoi Xan remains at large.

Not my favorite, but the one I'm proudest of having been able to employ in an appropriate context: "Upon closer inspection, these are loafers."

We're through the looking gla—

Well that seems a reasonable and measured response.

I forget if Elijah was also the one who miracle'd up some bears to eat some kids who were hassling him, but I remember somebody doing that.

Classic Elijah.

Quote away! That's another great line & delivery—Connelly & Dalton are both amazing throughout that whole scene. I just love the fact they gave this quippy Frankenstein line to a mook—a mook, of all people!—rather than one of the heroes.
