I think the character of Layla Miller from Marvel, introduced as a bystander at the beginning of the series, could have a tremendous effect on superhero television shows. The main character is a young woman with an undefined set of powers stuck in a world with a rich history that can be established easily for…

FYI, Arcade Fire's new album is Amazon's album of the day and on sale for 3.99 for the full album. For four bucks, I think it's worth it. Might not be at the full price. Will have to give it a few more listens.

Well done, Jason. It's well and good to make a joke, but it's heartening to see someone apologize when it's no longer "just a joke." Thank you.

@BangarangRufio867: Wow, how'd I miss this one. I guess Parker Lewis *can* lose. Ba dum bum.

Oh good, so they should be a perfect delivery system for other diseases (insert invocation of zombie plague here) without that plasmodium getting the way.

@Graviton1066: Which rule is Don't Post Pictures of Yourself Double-fisting 40s if You're Hoping to Find Employment?

@mdjab82001: Yup, I used to like the Ultimate universe because it trimmed the fat and I had hoped they would use the Ultimate universe to do the crazy crap they keep trying to pull in the regular universe. Keep one universe canon, throw the other to the most perverted imaginings of the guys you pay to imagine. …

@djfrantz: His power is sucking. And making Deadpool look funnier than he's written at times.

@Burke: Makes you wonder why anyone keeps reading. I stopped when things got way too silly during Morrison's X-men run, but I recently decided to give Marvel another chance with their Avengers books since most of the TPBs were available for 3.99 or less via B&N a few weeks back. Was glad the whole group of trades…

My goal in life (yes, I do like setting the bar low, why do you ask?) is to sit in on a storyline plot meeting at Marvel and just spitball the craziest ideas and see which one jars Joey Q out of his flapjacks and bourbon stupor long enough to sign off on it. I'm convinced that I could write X-men comics for a living…

What's with all of the strobe lights inside the AT-AT? I didn't think the Empire was that keen on raves.

@Hamslicer: I wish. I saw the terrible pun immediately and wished I hadn't.

If there wasn't a doily under the lamp and a teddy bear in the background, I'd have thought that was my night stand. Nice taste in literature.

Cute overload in that picture.

@Angry_Giant: There's censorship and then there's rules mongering. If you were posting in a public place on a government run forum, then yeah people should be able to post whatever they want and good luck combing through that information for something useful. But if you create the forums, you create the rules. If…

I've always been in favor of being brutal in the moderation of online message boards. I was once a forum moderator for a major online community and felt the only good technique was slash and burn. Ban early and ban often. The funny part was that I only had two rules, governed by what the bosses told me were the…

I'm starting to think this is an "Everyone's at fault" situation between Marvel and Norton. I have a feeling that Norton wanted the movie to go a certain way and part of his negotiation tactics were for writing oversight/credit. And Marvel-being-Marvel decided to out jackass him by effectively running his name…

@Bogus83: One of the many unpleasant side effects of doing quantum steroids. Stay off the performance enhancers, kids.

After reading this article, I feel I have sufficient knowledge to write a Syfy movie entitled "The Clear and the Quantum: Shrunken Sparticles" about a genius baseball player using his knowledge of physics to his advantage, until his whole world comes crashing down when he discovers that protons have shrunk. …

Funny, I actually tried to pitch a movie off another LucasArts property: Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Only I attempted to pitch it straight to LucasArts (or Lucas Film at the time, I guess). I think I was 8 or 9 at the time. My painstakingly plotted (and handwritten!) draft script and my storyboard…
