So, you teased us with saying this is SOPA related, and then revealed it's for trades?

I just meant that this was something for you to do with all the time you have left over from not being able to go on Wikipedia, etc.

But what about that AWESOME Baxter building pic! Pretty neat, huh?!

That was awesome! Almost as good as the Strike Force Mortiui trade.

Of course, what would be beyond awesome is having a Mr. Green Scale Speedo contest amongst the Marvel male staffers.

Sorry, but it's in the Sub-Mariner's contract, he's the only one allowed to wear a green speedo within 10 miles of the Marvel office.

Yeah. Super disappointed in Marvel's support of SOPA. Sorry I even clicked the link.

you do know Wikipedia wasn't really down right. All you ahd to do was look at the cached version & it was right there.

Both Marvel and DC's parent companies support SOPA/PIPA.

**the goddamn batman** · 01-19-2012, 12:10 AM

Yup. Disappointed in that.

Well even if Wiki was down you would still be able to see cached versions because they are hosted on Google or wherever. You are right that Wiki wasn't really down, all you had to do was disable Javascript of hit Stop after the content loaded but before the 'black screen' loaded.
