My money is on the cocoon playing into why the Reavers didn't deliver Quill to them like they were supposed to. Between them picking him up and returning to Warlock, something happened (maybe a battle with Thanos) and he had to revert to the cocoon to regenerate.

Which is exactly what I've been telling you motherfuckers for more than a year.

Illusions, Schlomo.

It will come down to a Hands-on-a-Hardbody type contest. Eventually The Last Man On Earth will give up and sit down. Then Last Man Standing will spend a few final moments basking in his victory, before the exhaustion finally overcomes him and his body seizes and dies.

Good news, everyone. We found the guy who watches it.

Even the racist Baby Boomers I know don't watch it!

And Last Man Standing, that magnificent bastard, lives to see another day.

Don't forget the image of Batman's mom dying, again and again and again. DC can't get enough of that shit.

Does Arsenio have an alibi?

This looks bad for the band, but I'm Optimistic that there will be No Surprises.

Years ago, my ex had a dormmate who listened to it on repeat when her boyfriend broke up with her. That was her breakup song. It was the only one. Over and over. My ex counted at least nine plays of it in one go.

Stupid fresh!

Maybe he's tweaked the format in the year or two since I listened, but the early episodes were all about sneering at self-published fetish material and the DOOM novelizations.

I'm actually friends-of-friends with some of the regulars on that podcast, and I honestly hate it. They're just being snotty and condescending about pitiful obscurities, mostly for the sake of bolstering their own egos.

That header image looks like it belongs on a poster for the Village Voice's (now sadly defunct) Siren Festival in Coney Island.

What a disgusting double standard. Prince allegedly ends his own life, and it's "pathetic." But if Gene Simmons killed himself, it would be hailed as the most heroic thing he could ever do.

Probably not, as part of the terms of the Marvel purchase gave him major stock in Disney. But moreover, it's undeniable that he runs a tight ship. His penny-pinching is what kept the comic side afloat and paved the way for the movie business. He's just a bastard to work for.

That tight-fistedness largely had to do with Marvel Studios answering to the head of Marvel, Ike Perlmutter. Ike is famously stingy, doubly so since steering the company out of its late-90s bankruptcy.

I like this. It feels good to me.

Look inside yourself and know the truth. I have faith in you.
