I’m white, and I’ve been a Marvel fan since about the age of 4, cutting my teeth on the classic early ‘70s on Ditko and Kirby stuff from the ‘60s as well as what was coming out contemporaneously, and I have to tell you I idolized and played Black Panther as one of my very, very favorites way back then. I’m so psyched…

I haven’t read it yet, but I just added it to my list. Thanks.

Some great choices here, Oliver. I’m especially happy to see you highlight Eleanor Davis’ work which I am now so psyched for whenever I find anything. She’s amazing, and I’m currently making my way through her travelogue You & a Bike & a Road by Koyama Press which is gorgeous. Also worth checking out is Libby’s Dad …

Boy, you sure showed...zzzZZZZZZZZ.

You know nothing, John Snow.

And here I thought yoga would be a waste of time.

Apologies, as I should have been explicit in saying that I actually agree with you and my complaints are in response to Vin. I love driving stick shift.

Seriously. It’s one thing to be ignorant of the joys of double-declutch downshifting but it boggles the mind that some people will try to argue that we are wrong for feeling so.

I disagree with that interpretation. I think they knew exactly what they were doing and figured they’d get away with it. IMO a public servant’s business should be accountable to the public, regardless of party, otherwise it’s all just a farce. I’m never going to pretend that somehow she’s as bad or worse as the likes…

You’re ignoring the issue by bringing up Bush and there’s absolutely nothing legit about that, but there’s plenty that dishonest and cowardly.

Please don’t think I would defend the Bush administration over just about anything, much less piss on any member of it to put out a fire. But saying that Bush, Jr, was worse is hardly a compelling defense IMO.

Offering absolutely no defense if shit-bags like this dude, I will say that having a private email server is in fact pretty good evidence that the Clinton folks thought they were above the law:

As I got to the very last words of your extended sentence describing (accurately) that particular issue, the voice of Sinatra singing the chorus from That’s Life blared in my head.

I get what you are saying, but I found it just got balls-to-the-wall awesomely action-packed after that very section. Needing to know stuff never bothered me in my reading of it, although I will say that the hardest part for me to get through on any of my reading of it is the stuff with Shelley and Byron. It may have…

True enough.

I really dig how they had superheroes as a product/byproduct of American imperialism in Latin America. The “logical” next step in line with stuff like the College of the Americas training death-and-torture squads to send back to crush Leftist uprisings. And when these vets came back to the States with the PTSD you…

Marshal Law is a fantastic comic, though, with some of Kevin O’Neill’s craziest/best art and great ‘80s deconstruction of superhero stuff. Among the earliest and easily among the best, especially the initial series. Granted if you read it now it would probably be pretty easy to dismiss it as ho-hum, but when it came…

They just transport that shit right out of your bowels in the future of ST.

They’d never be that as it would mean they’d have to take down so many prominent figures in the “Democratic” and Capitalist world including so many government figures that they would be declared “The Enemy”.

That was awesome. Thank you.
