You were doing the Lord’s work, Allison.

He was really angry about having to do the Layover, but the show still was useful and interesting. Before I visited Singapore, I watched and rewatched that episode.

The enthusiasm for alternate dimensions is one of the few aspects of Heinlein’s work that’s not a mess.

The weird creepy old man sex stuff — which always reads like he was trying to justify having affairs or an open marriage or, really, polyamory, to his wife, Virginia — was the bigger issue.

I DON’T NEED TO SPEND THIS…

That was Gail Simone’s argument, too, when she took on the gig.

I want an unknown actress, preferably an athlete. Red Sonja, of all franchises, needs someone capable of kicking the shit out of everyone else on screen, especially their Conan stand-in. (They have to use Lord Kalidor instead of Conan!) 

CEO Avi Lerner defended the choice, even calling the accusations “fake news” in a published statement (he later claimed the statement was written and released without his approval).

The mini-fig’s legs are too long to be Monica.

After nearly three decades of offering up comics that trended toward less in the way of punching, more in the way of moody philosophizing, DC announced today that it’s killing off its fabled Vertigo imprint for good.

Spider-Man/Human Torch movie, go!

Fine, I’ll do it.

The X-Men obviously need a break, but they can start introducing the idea of mutants going forward, preferably by making them something that seems a little disconcerting so that there’s an actual need for Xavier’s dream.

But the Fantastic Four, and especially their rogues gallery, needs to get here ASAP. They’d fit in…

The altercation involved sisters Sarah and Rachel Wattley, who were tending bar at the strip club when Almanzar was said to have thrown a glass bottle and booze at them. The rapper apparently believed one of the sisters had had a relationship with her husband, Migos’ Offset.

Queens turns out to have been Purgatory all along.
