I'm waiting for the trade, but really excited for that one.

My first thought was Kamala Khan, but you're right: definitely Bone.

Remender's X-Force and Jason Aaron's Wolverine and the X-Men also fall into that era, and both were fantastic. Hell, I'll even go to bat for the first arc or two of All-New X-Men, at least to a point. It had one of the best (and, sadly, most squandered) premises in years.

You're right about that recent hot streak at Marvel, and the thing is there are still good, character-driven books coming from them, but they're all smaller stories that stay as far to the edges of the Marvel Universe as possible.

Overwhelmed. The archivist at the library where I work left unexpectedly, and so I'm filling in until a replacement can be found (which, due to some budget issues, might be a while). This is on top of my regular job, so basically my workload has doubled in the past 2 weeks.

I'm interested, since I'm planning to read it anyway.

That was my understanding of his plan (if it can be called a "plan"). Basically to keep the ground that holds the oil and plan on having a presence there forever, to the point of just straight-up colonizing Iraq

I don't doubt that he thinks he can, I'm just curious about when/how it gets addressed. Floating concrete? Moving the Rio Grande? I hope he tries to build right down the middle, sort of like a dam but sideways.

I'm still waiting for the part where someone tells him that about half of that border is actually a river.

That actually is kinda cool. Acceptable Job, Internet!

He just wants his kids back.

"At least, we’re hoping this Tumblr post is a joke:"

Skynet is mocking us.

I can't be the only one who read that part and immediately heard Titus Andromedon singing "IT WAS A TOTAL BANGFEEEEESST!!!"

Nothing would make me happier than hearing Benedict Cumberbatch say "Do not be too hasty to go in there, FOR I HAD TACO BELLLLLLL FOR LUNCH!!!!!"

Yikes

I wonder if this "giant mistake" was intentional, related to the way they were supposed to be able to talk and learn from each other (probably not, since that never worked). At any rate, seeing the code light up behind its dead little eyes is genuinely horrifying.

God bless you for bringing a JSTOR citation to an AV Club conversation about jugs.

That sounds amazing, actually. I love Orpheus. That will never not be the voice I hear when reading a comic with Dr. Strange in it.

Good point. But yeah, this is definitely a good way to do it.
