[Karl O'Neill]

why does everyone complaint about civil war and it still manages to sell twice the amout of any other comic on the stand?

[Graham Vingoe]

considering "everyone" thinks that Cerebus the Aardvark began to fall apart with the infamous issue 186, did the title lose or gain readers with that issue?

WHY has there not been either a Masterworks or Essential of the Bronze Age Submariner?

Why do people like Gambit?

How many people have been official members of the Fantastic Four?

[Karl O'Neill]

Why do people like Gambit?

In responce to the above,

I'd ask what do people not like about gambit?

He was one of the most interesting in xmen-TAS and cool in the comics too.

People just feel the need to hate gambit just to be controversial.

i pose the question,Whats not to like?

Lame costume. Lame accent. Lame powers.

BKV was the only guy to make him seem cool, and he had to Ultimize Gambit to do it.

[BillR]

Is there a writer/artist team out there that gels together better than Morrison and Quitely?

(Hell, you may have asked this already. I have a terrible memory for most things.)

It's not controversial to agree with the majority.

What's wrong with his powers?

[Expletive Deleted]

What's wrong with his powers?In the abstract, nothing. But the card thing got real old, real fast.

[stealthwise]

SEAN

As ED points out, it's not the powers themselves, just the execution. The card thing is really lame and tends to break my own suspension of disbelief.

Like I said, BKV really "got" what could make Gambit cool.

[stealthwise]

My suggestions for questions:

- Where exactly IS Latveria?

- Should buying Onslaught Reborn be illegal when books like Nextwave are being cancelled?

- Are more people waiting for the trade than collecting monthlies now?

[Tommy]

What was Sue Storm's worst hair style?

It's a comic.
I doubt they could've gotten away with Gambit throwing knives.

[JeffreyWKramer]

That's possibly the weakest argument ever made. Keep in mind, they got away with a guy that pops knives out of his hands and dismembers people.

[yo go re]

If the movie had come out first, would Ultimate Spider-Man have mechanical or organic webshooters?

Which Golden Age member of the JSA had the worst costume?

Which of Marvel's 1970s "horror lite" characters (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=67878970&blogID=143589631) has held up the best?

While I'm at it, which character in the Supervillain Shuffle (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=67878970&blogID=218867810) benefitted the most from the switch? The least?

Is there a writer/artist team out there that gels together better than Morrison and Quitely?

Waid and Wieringo

Quite possibly :D

It's hard to be sensible sometimes when seemingly everyone in the world bags on a character you like.

[Sean Whitmore]

Gambit threw a pie, once.

Made me laugh.




It didn't explode, though.

SEAN

He kicked a basketball(and charged it?) in a What if.

[Sean Whitmore]

That clinches it. Gambit becomes exponentially cooler when he charges something that isn't a card. Be it pastry, athletic gear, or a big-ass anchor.

Figure out the math on THAT, Curious Cat!


SEAN

[yo go re]

So the verdict is:

Gambit's power? Awesome.

The execution of Gambit's power? Lame.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Who has the more self-righteous name, Mr. Fantastic or Mr. Terrific?

[stealthwise]

Quite possibly :D

Dude, I liked SLEEPWALKER.

[twilight]

Dude, I liked SLEEPWALKER.

I like Sleepwalker.
He's a cool visual.

[Michael P]

Does anyone else miss when Spidey would make stuff out of his webbing? Like parachutes, skis, rafts, baseball bats, that sort of thing?

[BizarroBeachHead]

It's a comic.
I doubt they could've gotten away with Gambit throwing knives.

In his first appearances he DID throw knives, or little darts or something. They were like mini harpoons.

[Michael P]

Would Watchmen have been as good if Moore had been able to use the actual Charlton characters instead of analogues?

[stealthwise]

How about "Why doesn't the dog get to ask anything or say anything on CSBG?"

[Matthew E]

How many DC and Marvel characters are as closely associated with a single creator as Captain Carrot is with Scott Shaw!?

[mgs]

i don't know who 2 is, but....That clinches it. Gambit becomes exponentially cooler when he charges something that isn't a card. Be it pastry, athletic gear, or a big-ass anchor.

SEAN

oh! ooo! followup question! what would happen if gambit charged and threw cable at rogue? why are there so many 'cat' characters in comics, yet the 'dog' characters are lacking? why is amanda conner so awesome!!???

[Shellhead]

That clinches it. Gambit becomes exponentially cooler when he charges something that isn't a card. Be it pastry, athletic gear, or a big-ass anchor.

That would be just vile if Gambit used his power on somebody's athletic cup or jockstrap.

[Alan2099]

Marvel used to like having their liceansed characters (Conan, Transformers etc) meet their main hereos, but have they ever had their liceansed characters meet their other liceansed characters?

If Ben Grimm was so upset about his apperance, why did the others insist on calling him The Thing? Wouldn't it have helped his ego moe to make HIM Mr. Fantastic?

Exactly how many Christmases have the X-men celebrated anyway?

We all know that when Bruce Banner turns into Hulk, his shirts ripps off and his pants stretch. What about his underwear?

[Evan Waters]

Should the title of "Hack WATCHMEN" now go to CIVIL WAR instead of IDENTITY CRISIS? Which deserves it more?

[winterteeth]

Is the modern day characterization of Black Adam a rip-off of Silver Age Namor?
