So, where the All You Need to Know for the New Avengers? The preview solicits? The pomp? The circumstance?
My deepest apologies, dear reader. I have been sick as dog these past few weeks and I promise things’ll be back to normal shortly.
Whatever normal is …

Do the BUMP
March 12, 2007 – 8:18 am
Adult Swim, makers of fine cartooning and popular Sunday night wastes of time, had the following bump play between Futurama, their first show and Family Guy, their most popular:
Attention Marvel Comics
Y’all some idiots
You don’t kill off Captain America to make deep political statements
IT’S A *scribbled out expletive* COMIC BOOK
Stan Lee would have never pulled a [...]
Comic Justice

I was waiting for this:
Stephen Colbert had a piece tonight on Captain America.
They even had a callback to Quesada’s appearance to say that sometimes Cap has gone against the American government to do what ‘he’ feels is right, an interesting distinction I hear now after the series. Because it’s the fact that Cap only [...]
If Only Lois Knew…
March 8, 2007 – 12:20 am
If only Lois knew
Clark Kent could see through her dress
She would have flown to his arms
And uncovered his “S”
She could have torn off his trousers
Discovered his tights
He wouldn’t put up a fightIf only Lois knew
That at the time of ascent
Superman blasted off
And there wasn’t no Kent
She would have clung to his wingspan
A fly on the [...]

from the WORA boards, known mostly for showing the dark underbelly of online roleplaying and being generally offensive people:
Am I the only one imagining:
CapUSA: THIS IS BULLSHIT! UTTER BULLSHIT!!! Where the FUCK were my rolls? I’m captain FCKUKNG AMERICA.
ConQuesada: Rolls were made, but you were offline. And please watch your tone.
CapUSA: Tone? [...]
I Shot Captain America
March 7, 2007 – 7:01 pm
My friends, I stand at a crossroads.
I have been a loyal though critical Marvel fan for quite some time now. I have hung in there through recent events such as Avengers: Disassembled, House of M, Spider-Man: the Other (Evolve or Die) and at least half of Planet Hulk because I followed the idea that after [...]
Shortcomings - Preview Review for 3/07
March 7, 2007 – 12:09 am
Wow. Apparently, last week a good handful of people showed up to read my trouble with handing a kid an Iron Man comic. Mind you, it’s not going to be a problem what with the Marvel Adventures book coming out soon and the fact that the quality of the Marvel Adventures line is good enough [...]
WonderCon: 300 Panel or Fangirl Attack
March 5, 2007 – 10:26 am
Personally, I’m horrendously excited about the 300 movie. I know this is not a ‘historical epic’, I know this was based of Frank Miller’s graphic novel which in turns was based off of Gates of Fire which in turn was based off an historical event, so I’m not expecting accuracy, I’m expecting KICK ASS. [...]
Flying Past - Preview Reviews for 3/1
March 3, 2007 – 1:40 pm
Okay, so these are the books we got ahead of time at work, cruised through on a couple breaks since last week I happened to take a vacation out Arizona way. I was completely worried when I realized that my notes were kind of sparce, but than thankfully remembered that I named my site well: [...]
Not Dead Yet
So, Marvel shouts “DEAD!!” and the ‘Interfret’ just sort of sighs and goes, “Well, he’ll be back.”
Really, what else have we been taught? Where once Joe Quesada himself declared that ‘dead means dead‘ and the cliche would be put to rest (or was it back in the bottle?), he has since rescinded that belief [...]
