Everything I've seen of Strange Fruit has made me feel…ill at ease, I guess. It seems like it's probably written with the best of intentions but I just don't know.

Fair enough. I think this is a good one to try though.

No arguments there.

Jughead is pure unfiltered self-confidence, even for a character that has a lot of character flaws. He knows what he wants and who he is always and it's actually kind of infectious to see.

Weirdly, I think the crown as it appears here really makes Jughead look like who he always meant to be, a kid desperate for attention from his cooler best friend.

Jughead not being the goofball he usually is and instead being sort of sarcastic and hipper than thou makes me really curious what Zdarsky and Henderson are going to do with him.

Genuinely, if you like Waid writing teenagers in his Legion of Superheroes or Flash runs, you'll like this. If nothing else, it's a ton of stylish fun for all sorts of readers.

Hitman #44-60, Hitman JLA #1-2
Hitman has something approaching a perfect ending. Once Ennis and McCrea start knocking off characters during the Ringo arc, there's really only one way this book can end and they pull it off memorably. It's another solid Ennis ending that I liked a lot.

This was such a great issue with lots of fun little tweaks to the character. Someone describing Jughead as the "worst best friend" is classic Waid banter. I'm totally in the bag for this.

A friend of mine and I are still known to shout "COCAINE, FIVE STARS!" because of the drug addiction episode.

Once it becomes clear that the show is actually telling Forrest's story, not so much just him reviewing activities, "Review" really clicked for me.

You have no idea how possible this is.

I was obsessed with those books. I mostly remember them being surprisingly violent (kids getting threatened by gun toting criminals, children forced at knifepoint to dig for treasure) but I loved them all the same.

"No gay son of mine is going to be a not-gay."

He's pretty good in Avengers A.I. as well and I'm generally bored stiffless by Hank Pym.

I read the first issue and it just really didn't click for me. I like the idea of divorced dad superhero but nothing that I wanted from that creative team or premise ended up on the page.

I live about a half hour from where this was filmed and where the director is from and people are so ridiculously, dramatically hyped to see this thing that I'm kind of hoping some sort of riot happens after people leave the theater.

I hope they do a sepia toned flashback to those long lost days.

The people who thought Disqus was the end of the world have no idea the chaos registration wrought. It truly felt like the end of instant gimmick accounts of the moment.

There have certainly been quite a few changes, some for the better and some for the worse. I think more people coming over through Disqus has certainly diffused the commenting a little over the years but it's never something I've had a problem with really. I mean, ZMF hasn't threatened to murder my mother in a while,…
