Oh, good grief. It’s the Spider-Woman issue.
Now, sometimes when customers come up to the front counter with their books on Wednesday and… do that weird thing where they leave you with what they want to buy to look around the store just in case forgetting the two people in line behind them who are [...]

All You Need to Know: New Avengers #23

Great Picture, Wrong Place
August 27, 2006 – 10:40 pm
This is the Wasp from the Marvel Universe.
This is the Ultimates version of the Wasp.
Definately different people. Same idea, young woman who shrinks to the size of an insect, has wings, attached to scientist-type of poor ability to express himself emotionally (I’m being polite!), but radically different backgrounds. The Ultimates Wasp is Asian-American [...]
Where Are We?
August 24, 2006 – 6:55 pm
So. Not much going on weekly at the ol’ homestead, eh?
I have recently moved from an apartment to a swanky cabin in the hills (teaching me just how many comics I have and it’s not a pretty number), been taken in by two kittens (B’Elanna and Garak and, why yes, I am a huge nerd.) [...]
Cup O’ Nothin’

The picture of the Scarlet Witch sold me on looking at the New Joe Fridays (Week 9) article at NEWSARAMA, but it once again left a empty feeling in the comic stomach. While there were somethings that Joe did say (mind you, it was all info the rest of NEWSARMA told you in their [...]
Wait, Wait- Time Shift.

I think the current issues of Iron Man were supposed to come out while Secret War was being published. It would explain a little while Nick Fury’s hanging around, no Civil War stuff is mentioned and why the government might have some trust in Iron Man after this weird little manslaughter rampage…
Which makes me wonder: [...]
Remember These? - Reviews for 8/7
August 11, 2006 – 4:19 pm
Sadly, these were supposed to be posted on Tuesday, as they were mostly preiview books, but due to some illness, I have been unable to come to the computer and type up my notes. Dental work is the pits, let me tell you, people, so these are probably a little less informative, a little [...]
And They Had Free Pony Rides Too
August 7, 2006 – 12:26 pm
Alright, this is mostly for me, but I wasn’t able to go to Comic Con this year, a big terrible disappointment with bad scheduling and all the horrors of trying to find a hotel room you can come up with.
But no. No tears. I held my chin up high and picked lentils out of the [...]
One Brief Shining Moment
August 3, 2006 – 2:48 pm
What happened? Where did everything go wrong, Northstar?
It wasn’t when he came out to his country and his team, believe it or not. The whole comic was rather seminal (despite being really badly drawn) and well accepted by the public, if a little forgotten as of late. He left the team and [...]
Long Live Queen Ororo
August 1, 2006 – 11:43 pm
Best case scenario:
Black Panther has kept himself from officially joining groups as of late. I don’t think he’s an active member of the Avengers (New ones aside), he turned the Illuminati down (let’s pretent that was because he couldn’t get involved in something greater than his duty to his country instead of the fact [...]
Losing Respect for My Elders
At what point did Harlan Ellison, known douchebag and close personal friend of Peter David, think that groping a Hugo Award winner at the recent WorldCon was a-okay?
Why was the responce heard so far that ‘He’s done worse and I can handle him’ from the author who was groped, Connie Willis?
I mean, I have heard [...]
