RITA'S CXLVI: They Tell Me Revenge is Sweet and From Where They Stand I’m Sure it is

[Spike-X]

I asked Claremont whether he really got death threats about Jean at a con once, and he said yes.

Seemed rather annoyed at the question, too, which I can understand.

Straight from the horse's mouth, then.

You should've asked whether he got paid by the word. And whether he cut Orzechowski in on a bit of the action.

I loves me some '30s-style domino-masked gunmen! No hat? Ah, well, as you will, still excellent!

The free version didn't come with one that I thought suited.

I never liked the movement powers that came with DCU Online. Having your 30s mystery man climb walls like Spiderman never seem to fit properly. There really needed to be a vehicle option.

Cedic, who has barely read any DC comics at all, is currently working his way through my Legion Archives. There are many lol-moments for him in the Silver Age.

Man, the Legion kids were utter dicks to one another in the Silver Age.

The last part of my Christmas booty arrived today.

They are not that different from the teenagers I work with, sadly. Just with superpowers and a "no killing" rule.

I finished my Christmas comics reading last night. I read Conan: Volume 8: Black Colossus

In spite of this being a pretty decent adaptation of the Robert E. Howard story, my enjoyment of the comic has taken a serious plunge, so I think this will be the last trade I purchase / request for Christmas. Perhaps the fact that I read the original pulp short stories has something to do with it. I don't know. I miss Cary Nord. Giorello is talented, but his superhero influenced style seems a bad fit for the title.

Thirty-Seven!?

I was aiming for Monty Python, not Clerks.

If it's any consolation,, for some reason I thought you were younger.

I'm not sure. Is it due to my youthful enthusiasm and vigor or my immaturity and naivety?

Good morning, nerds.


First day back at work since 12/21.

Heh ... I'm not sure why. If I had to place my finger on why, I would say it's the fact that you're single and like Naruto.

BTW, I lost interest in Naruto when it started taking itself too seriously after the battle with Pain. Trade issues 1-27 are great fun, though.

In other news: I can't find the college football thread, but thought the Big Ten held their own in the bowls yesterday after a lackluster regular season.

Nope, most of my contacts were on vacation, too.
