I'll contend that Will Sasso is one of those explosive comedic talents that never quite found an avenue for his voice. He blows up weird bit parts in so many movies and had so many bizarre, really specific impressions that I'm genuinely surprised no one has figured out how to use him.

It had a Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip parody that involved Sorkin-esque characters running a porn studio that I remember semi-fondly.

A young, critically underused Andy Daly would like a word.

I had forgotten about that sketch until just this moment and, yeah, it was pretty solid. If I remember right, it mostly entailed George Lucas coming up with new, racist Gungan characters for the Star Wars Prequels.

It's a lot darker and grittier, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing but there are a lot of extraneous details that just don't really work. Much like a lot of the new post-Secret Wars books, there's a big secret that no one is really talking about which is in reference to how, after the events of Waid's…

Max Payne 3 is probably my favorite shooter of all time, at least partially for its vicious take down of the very specific "homicidal, white-male protagonist trope." Also, the penultimate gun fight through the airport is one of my favorite levels ever, with that pulsing music and absolutely brutal fight up and down…

I'm really surprised we haven't gotten Wompler and Listler. They're probably my pick. I love the Timekeeper but i feel like he's such a beautiful concept that would only be undone if actually shown.

I have been rightly schooled on this subject.

I liked Infinity quite a bit but you're right in that you need a lot of context, particularly for what the Illuminati were up to in New Avengers, to really understand what was going on.

No, they're still in that weird legal limbo of they could only call him Captain Marvel if Marvel goes 6 months or something without producing an issue of their own book called "Captain Marvel."

This is a very cool story. He mentioned in press for Sheriff of Babylon that he was very influenced by the events of 9/11 to work in national intelligence. It's interesting to see how that changed him here while the wit shines through.

It's been rumored that he's attached to the long gestating Shazam title.

But all those books also link up in very oblique ways and often draw on 40 years of continuity. Hickman's definitely a writer for longtime readers and I would say it occasionally impacts understanding of his work.

Good call. Scalped was definitely his breakout.

It's definitely gone long enough and built its own intricate universe that I'm sure feels a little more insular and hard to jump into, but I love it.

I think it was a deliberate stylistic choice on his part. It kind of evokes political cartoons or the funny pages and eschews Pulido's more cartoonish style. It's interesting but I think it felt kind of one note, especially during the scenes outside of the courtroom. Of course, your mileage may vary. It's certainly a…

I think there's a certain flatness to his She-Hulk run that many people found unappealing. I'm a fan of his but I thought that book was not one of his best.

Yeah, I'd say Snyder was the last huge talent they probably had. Lemire's been really big though too. After that, jeez, I don't know, you'd have to go back a ways to figure that out. Marvel had a good run of landing genre defining talent with Jason Aaron, Jonathan Hickman and Matt Fraction.

I don't know that Soule was as explosive though. He's more notable for the sheer volume of books he released than their quality. I loved Swamp Thing but can anyone really say Superman and Wonder Woman or Inhumans or this week's new Daredevil was anything more than fine? Passable?

It's a good one too and that's only partially because of my well documented love of big, bloody ninja fights.
