Or is it just another bizarre conservative eccentricity like the unnecessary definitive article, as in "the blacks" and "the gays,"

Why the quotation marks around "comfort". Are you using the word ironically to suggest Colbert's studio isn't comfortable at all? Or are you simply channeling early 70s Jack Kirby by "promiscuously" using quotation "marks"?

Have you seen THE WOMAN? I believe Pollyana McIntosh was primarily a model before she first played the Woman in the dire-except-for-her OFFSPRING. She's terrific and should be better known (it may be a career obstacle that she looks so much like Milla Jovavich, albeit with boobs).

Hard vacuum doesn't immediately kill you or freeze you. Quill and Gamora aren't exposed to it much longer than Dave was in 2001. OUTLAND created the myth that it makes you explode.

So this is a remake of the 70s Richard Harris vehicle MAN IN THE WILDERNESS.

Seconded. It took a few issues to completely charm me, but I'm completely a fan now. Alphone's art reminds me of Mort Drucker and Will Elder, but I also love Wyatt on the current fill-in. With the Clint storyline bogging down in HAWKEYE and SHE-HULK having such an off-putting fill-in artist (even though I…

That was great, as is the Inventor. Wasn't expecting him to a cockatiel Thomas Edison.

She was co-created by a Pakistani Muslim. I think Sana Amanant knows the culture and its naming conventions.

As a comics fan, I think anyone more interested in kvetching about the presumed motives behind Kamala Khan's creation than gratefully acknowledging that she's a delightful character who writes Wolverine fanfic and fights a gene-spliced clone of Thomas Edison and a cockatiel is a joyless turdwaffle

Got the delightful MS. MARVEL #6, which manages to make Wolverine likable and interesting and features a villain who's part Thomas Edison, part cockatiel. Looked for Sabrina Marries Cthulhu, or whatever it's called, but it was sold out.

Thylacine.

His wife Emily used to live across the street from me. Her black cat used to beat up my next door neighbor's black cat. One time the screaming was so bad I burned a pan in which I was grilling a goat chop from the carniceria because I ran out front to see who was being murdered. When I had medical problems last…

Not only is this piece listless and perfunctory, but it's dreadfully written. "One of the truest marks of an impactful actor is when it’s hard to pinpoint what, exactly, they’re most famous for." Impactful? Really? What does this sentence even mean? The obit over the Dissolve is far better than this disgraceful…

To which I'll add that I have no objection to a female Thor. Miles Morales is a good character and Kamala Khan is a great one. Beta Ray Thor and the Frog of Thunder were both awesome. Female Loki and Kid Loki were both great. And so on.

I've already posted this link as a reply to someone's comment, but I'm going to repost it in its own thread. Here's the awesome Sam Catto-Mott, aka Samantha Swords (I'm not fond of her professional name, but Hell, she can call herself whatever she likes) in the armor her co-workers at Weta made for her so she could…

Yeah, I've seen some twit call Sam Catto-Mott's fighting armor, designed by her friends at Weta, "boob armor" because it has some convexity in the chest. But it's leather armor for Longsword Competition with blunt swords, and meant to be flexibile.

I actually have fantasies about this lady in very practical armor (she even wears a helmet when she actually takes part in long sword competitions).

To paste in something I wrote elsewhere:

Joan Hackett should also be better known. My dad had nearly as much of a crush on her as he did on Diana Rigg. I don't share it the way I did his infatuation with Mrs. Peel, but I can understand it.

No, no, it was a valid tangent, and you ended with welcome self-deprecation.
