You don’t see that in a continuum going from the CCA reformation, including DC and Marvel’s drug addiction stories, more grown-up mainstream horror comics including Swamp Thing and, past X-Men/New Teen Titans, to the Born Again/Batman: Year One/Dark Knight Returns/Watchman years?

I think it’s an outgrowth of what was…

More mature comics, including Dark Knight Returns, the classic Vertigo titles, etc., seem more like the natural outgrowth of the 1970s comics, rather than something new. (Heck, I was reading Spectacular Spider-Man through the 1980s, and they were getting more mature all the time, despite never getting the same level…

The second incarnation of the X-Men didn’t fundamentally change the industry, although it did pull it out of a financial tailspin. That’s not a great demarcation point.

I think the argument of the reform and weakening of the CCA makes more sense, since that paves the way for the more mature storytelling of the X-Men…

Meh. Kirby went on to do very Marvelesque comics for DC. While the New Gods, etc., were great, I don’t think they fundamentally altered the trajectory of comics in the same way that the Amazing Spider-Man did or DC explicitly rejecting the Golden Age heroes in favor of more modern takes on the characters.

I also think…

We demand Fippy Darkpaw.

To be fair, EQ1's graphics were rough even in 1999.

That said, if Daybreak were to make a mobile client that worked with this game, I would definitely install it, just for the nostalgia factor. My computer would laugh at me if I actually installed this in 2019, though.

A change to the Comics Code is a demarcation point I can get behind. That would put the end of the Silver Age at 1971, with the struggles over the depictions of drug use leading to a more liberal CCA, unless you were using the word “zombie,” which is kind of hilarious.

I don’t think the Penguin has ever had it as good as he did in the first season of Gotham, even if the show is generally a trash fire.

1970s Gotham is the best Gotham.

Last scene of the movie, we cut to him sitting across a table from Batman, who’s glaring at him silently and skeptically the entire time.

Did Spider-Verse teach you nothing? None of this stuff is definitive. Enjoy it (or don’t) for what it is.

Superlative trailer. This goes from “unnecessary at best” to “I want to see this shit.”

The Bronze Age label has always been kind of shaky for me. There’s a clear break between the Gold and Silver Ages (“Flash of Two Worlds”), but the lines of demarcation between Silver and Bronze and Bronze and Modern don’t really have clear moments like that.

I think it’s more realistic to say, as was previously common…

If Andy Kaufman weren’t so committed to his “I’m dead” stunt, this would be right up his Crime Alley.

With two and a half decent films (I’m giving Aquaman half points), it may be too early to decide the DCEU has turned a corner.

But that may actually be the better argument for getting a little more loosey goosey: Instead of trying and failing to do an MCU-style shared universe, just do what makes sense for each…

51/49 for me, although I suspect a lot of that is due to my industry being pretty evenly split.

Steve Bannon’s politics aren’t the only retrograde thing about him.

There’s a decent argument to be made that Uber and Lyft came along about 10 years too early.

Smartphone manufacturers, I think, have realized that’s a no-win proposition after the last time it was tried, when everyone sued everyone else over an escalating series of “oh yeah, well I had Idea A first,” followed by “yeah, well I had Idea B first,” for infinity.

Until someone dramatically changes the paradigm…

It apparently was just a picture shot in a cover art session she liked, partly because her mom had the same mole and a lot of this album is about her dealing with her relationship with her mom. The similarity to her last album cover was a coincidence.
