I rather liked Iron Man & Gambit the best. Cyclops was just plain terrible. Character deserves better. Guess I'm going to have to do it.

Not very many points of articulation on that Professor Zoom figure. I imagine that's a bit of a hindrance for him when he's running.

I know what you're thinking. Yeah... I was in South Carolina for the past two weeks. If I was really this "Lizard Man",though, why would my icon be a shark? Swing & a miss, detective!

That's because resistance is futile.

Women are already irresistible to men. Have been for centuries. "Nearly Irresistible" is a step down.

A little over a year later, Wolfman again stripped Jordan of the ring, & threw him to the wolves inside a prison, courtesy of his nemesis, Gold Face. The guards had all been replaced by Gold Face's hoods, & with Black Hand gleefully prancing about, all the cell doors are flung open. Jordan spends the bulk of the issue…

It's always cats. You never get a show titled "The Dog Years of Tiberius Rex". I demand equal time for dogs. So does my dachshund.

"... and Worthington is not acting-..." Truer words have never been spoken.

It seems like the company itself makes a bigger deal about the "weight of continuity" than the creators do. I've read entire runs of books by various writers that were largely clean of the baggage of history. A well told story need not be reliant on any character's entire biography. Sure, some stories build off a…

It would seem so. No more Zatanna. No more Power Girl. No more Secret Six. No more Justice Society of America. No more Xombi. No more Batman/Superman.

If only. It was just plain old mongoose blood that his father transfused him with, in order to neutralize the venom he'd taken in from a cobra bite. FYI... that's not actually the proper tact to take in dealing with snake bites. Clearly, the Whizzer's father was insane. Very probably, criminally insane.

I wanted a new Suicide Squad book, but not like this. One of the primary joys of that series was found in the knowledge that anyone on the Squad could die. Fatalities were commonplace, & fairly unpredictable. Placing a mega fan favorite character like Harley Quinn at the center of a new Squad just sucks all the life…

I'd like to offer the Golden Age Whizzer to this list. His science shattering origin consists of accepting a transfusion of mongoose blood that, inexplicably, gives him super human speed. Kids, don't try this one at home. Seriously. Don't do it.

Every time I watch Game of Thrones I come away with the feeling that the new Conan movie might actually be pretty good. Then I remember the film trailer & that feeling goes away again.

I think the most obvious transition for Barnes, out of Captain America, would have been to have him take over the lead in Secret Avengers. Heading up a covert ops outfit would have been a natural fit for the former World War II commando. A better one, in my opinion, than it has been for Rogers. I'd also change the…

Finally a bit of good news. It's nice to hear the Paul Levitz is being allowed to continue to build on the story lines he's been laying down in Legion of Super-Heroes over the last year. At least one creator isn't having to abandon all his hard work on a series in favor of this insanity DC is preparing to do.

Hmm. I'm not sure what to think about that. The idea that Brubaker already planned to end Barnes' life is hard to reconcile. I know that there's huge pressure coming down from Marvel's corporate arm to re-establish Steve Rogers as Captain America. I suspect the deadline was by the film's premiere. It was always pretty…

The real wrong is that it wasn't Brubaker that killed Barnes. It doesn't seem right that the writer of some big event crossover series, in this case Matt Fraction, gets to murder someone else's title character, outside of their own book. Brubaker is in the middle of a story line, featuring Barnes in a Russian gulag,…

These episodes felt like a prequel of sorts. The Doctor knew what Amy was all along, but how far back was the switch made? She's been having "hallucinations" since... what.. the second episode of the new season? It's quite possible that tonight's episode was the first time we've seen the real Amy, all season long. It…

Diamond Lil had diamond hard skin. She started out as a villain in Omega Flight, then, because Marvel just can't stand a good villain, switched sides, & joined up with Alpha Flight. I think she contracted breast cancer & died, because doctors couldn't penetrate her skin to remove the cancerous growth.
