I'm going to say it's because you were a kid, and most kids are happy eating absolute garbage as long as there's enough sugar and salt in it.

Most commercial rehydrated backpacking meals are better than the survival meals Dennis tried, because backpackers are more discerning than the Army and crazy preppers. Also, if you eat enough dried fruit and granola, you shouldn't have an issue with the "disposal".

Oh, weird, I suddenly have a craving for those MRE crackers with jalepeno cheese - they were actually my favorite MRE components. Much, much better than that fucking awful flatbread.

I read it as Alston implying that Lucifer is going to be so terrible that if it receives any attention, no matter how miniscule, it will be over-appreciated.

…and for reasons unexplained, would walk all over the city for groceries, also garbage-picking food to bring back to his brother.

The fact that he doesn't even think he really did anything wrong is the most infuriating part.

Nope, young Cyclops is back on Earth, road-tripping with the other all-new X-Men.

It seems particularly bad because Bendis just used an Omega level Macguffin in the Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier storyline.

Cyclops is already dead. Well, "dead".

I think the steady paycheck might be more of a factor at this point. Gotta sock away retirement funds while you can.

Vision is supposed to be very good, and it certainly seems weird and not safe. It's one of the few books I'm looking forward to.

You should give it a go. I think you will be impressed at how truly shitty Matt Murdoch's life can get (it is also excellently written and drawn).

It might be because fun, happy books have no place in the ANAD X-books.

I read Elliot Kalan's Spider-Man and the X-men. I was skeptical of this series at first because I didn't like Wolverine and the X-men and I've never really cared about Spider-Man. But it turned out to be really good, very fun and joyful, and in this age of decompression, remarkably fast-moving.

Considering Dawes and Leonard Pierce jokes are still posted regularly, you're going to have to wait a looong time.

They just look so silly in that header pick. If you're going to do a stupidly dangerous activity, you should at least look fucking awesome while doing it.

Perhaps you should post the double page spread first, and then split up the pages? Because its rather incomprehensible trying to read it straight through.

When I heard about this I assumed it was satirical meta-commentary, but apparently not.

I guess modern audiences just can't relate to losing an awesome rifle and snuff tin.

Beaton does good work in other genres as well. Her take on noir femme fatales is my favorite: http://www.harkavagrant.com…
