I believe in official Marvel continuity, Hitler was burned to death by the original Human Torch, the android one.  (He had a cameo in the Cap movie for about five seconds.)

Now THAT's a blurb if I ever saw one.

Any real Norse god worth his salt would have had both Portman and Dennings in his bed within an hour of getting hit by their RV.  To be honest I'm hoping this is how THOR 2 begins.  Or maybe Thor's just watching the two of them.  I'm a bad liberal.  A bad, bad liberal.

I felt the exact opposite.  I felt bad for Charlie and nothing but contempt for Marnie.  What a vile, awful woman.

Your TBS programming lineup:

TBS.  It's the Superstation!

Maybe they could double their ratings by riding over their feet with a lawnmower.  It's reality TV, though, so don't tell them it's coming.  We're going for genuine reactions.

He draws great posters.  He should avoid actual storytelling, though.

Man, is that the fuckin' definition of irony or what.

Yikes.  People watched SINGLED OUT for Chris Hardwick?

DON'T TRUST THE B**** WHOSE DAD IS PLAYED BY JOHN DE LANCIE.

I'd love to see an episode where some schmuck walks in with a Near Mint copy of Detective Comics 27, they contain their excitement and talk the guy into parting with it for fifty bucks, the guy thinks it over, agrees, then rips it in half, right in front of them.

You know, this reminds me of the old story in DC Comics' "Strange Sports Stories," where the modern-day descendant of Rip van Winkle meets a group of magic dwarves who were buddies with Rip, who then teach him how to bowl, because, fuck it, they're immortal and they like to bowl.  But when he tries to use his…

Why else did you think General Tommy Lee Jones kept her around?  Her typing?

You got it backwards.  "If you don't look good, we don't look good."  So actually, he's alive.  Which ruins my theory that we were all in Purgatory all along.

Which is the one where he bangs out the chick from THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT?

Oh Leelee.  [sobs]

@avclub-52ed1f89cb6f846e8efba0e4eacf9c27:disqus That was WHAT IF's premise at first but eventually Marvel just gave up on that completely.  Eventually they did bullshit stories like "What If Daredevil was a samurai?"

I would just fucking DIE if THOR 2 could get Anthony Hopkins back so they could do the Thor/Loki/Odin team-up against Surtur from Simonson's amazing THOR #350.

I think WEST COAST AVENGERS (Limited Series) 1 was my first intro to the Avengers.  But my first official AVENGERS issue was 249 - the Avengers and Fantastic Four deal with some big storyline over in Thor's book involving world-wide winter and invasion by Asgardian warriors.  And that had absolutely no connection to…

I loved the original Defenders because at least 25 percent of every Defenders story revolved around Strange having to convince one or more of the Defenders to come back to the "team" after having gotten pissed off and leaving.  Those guys just HATED each other.
