So, going by your 6-13 post, should I understand that you have complete faith in the verdict of the DNA report-- even though medical reports have been fudged and falsified-- but not in the FBI's...

Drat, you beat me to #1.

I must admit that probably many people don't instantly of feminism when they see WONDER WOMAN, but on reflection some may remember how she's been used as an image of...

JONNY DOUBLE, a Denny O'Neil creation who had one Showcase appearance and much, much later a mini-series, appeared as a romantic interest for Diana Prince in the waning days of her "Modesty Peel"...

The girlfriend's story, since she was not actually there, isn't any more trustworthy than Zimmerman's. The recent DNA disclosures are certainly more promising evidence as far as poking holes in...

Thanks for the info.

Did RAWHIDE KID have any new stories in his title after #110?

I scanned all the covers on GCD but am not sure there were no new tales, though I quit buying once it went reprint.

I think there...

In the early 1960s cartoon series "The New Adventures of Superman," the voiceover says he fights for "truth, justice and freedom," which I for one rather prefer.

What about that great old musical, "'Taint Misbehavin'?"

Double, double, sure a lot of trouble.

Yeah, I can never understand people who think that sexuality is somehow alien to the superhero genre. Maybe they only read 1940s Captain Marvel books?

I can esteem the sort of arguments that say, "Carol Danvers, being a button-down military type, wouldn't wear a spandex costume." At the same time, I can also imagine her simply gravitating to such...

That Latveria-based story has one of the most confused plots in FF history. Initially the FF go into Latveria to investigate Doom's robot army. Doom captures and brainwashes them, apparently with...

I thought Zimmerman asserted that he followed Martin and Martin jumped him, but what I remember may have been amended. Does someone have a link to Zimmerman's current version of the events?

I don't care what images Martin had on his phone, his disciplinary records or any of that trivia.

But the one question that keeps bothering me is that Zimmerman says Martin attacked him within a...

It's the nature of the "everyone" that usually causes arguments, though.

Posters here have gone back and forth many times on the question of whether the superhero genre is...

Right, because it's a given that even when men run around in skintight costumes, they're not revealing anything.

EDIT: I should have added, and if a female reveals even her shoulders or her upper...

To this take I have to add the fact that many nerds protested the artificiality of Kory's pose-- bending herself over to accentuate both her boobs and her butt-- was not *just* fanservice for...

I completely disagree that the "vast majority" of female characters exist "purely as lust objects." Most of them are unquestionably constituted to be hot bods, so some element of voyeurism is always...

My response to the "inappropriate place" idea remains the same as before: since superhero comics are now being consumed principally by adults, it makes no sense to view them as being an...

The proper response imo would be to quote Sturgeon's Law.

When I was a young fan it was easy to spend dough on both comic books and paperback SF/fantasy, since both were pretty low priced.

Today, I get the impression that for monetary reasons serious...

The mere fact that they could find "superhero porn" on the Net, but still choose to gravitate toward the regular products of the Big Two, should demonstrate that such fans (assuming that they are as...

My reading of the Kubert TARZANs has been spotty, but from what I have read, I don't think Kubert "gets" the feel of Burroughs' stories as well as Manning does. Remember that the majority of...

Good response, but as I said in an earlier post, it can be a mistake to judge a fictional representation in terms of real-world political exigencies. That's not something I saw you post, but many...

It's not incorrect to express the opinion that the new costume is uglier.
