Over at Paul Cornell’s blog, the House of Awkwardness, he asks whatever happened to the nicknames from the old House of Ideas? The folks in comments are a bit ahead of us, but I think we can outdo them. You’re clever folk, aren’t you?
We’re gonna stick to Paul’s rule: no negativity. You want to take shots at creators, please don’t do it here. This is for fun, not figuring out how cleverly we can knock them down. But I shouldn’t even have to say that right?
“Manic” Jim McCann? Robert “The Kid” Kirkman? Joe Casey “at the bat”?
Clearly, I am no good at this.

RobAbsten nailed it with Greg "Mother" Rucka.
Damon"Not towing the party line by introducing Ultimate She Hulk at the same time Marvel is cutting back on the Utlimate universe and I don’t know why she’s there anyway it reminds me of when they added Poochy to Itchy and Scratchy" Lindoff
@leonard – lol. great point. perhaps her body will get ripped in half too.
They’re either committed to delivering the original story, or she’s part of the plan for the new Ultimate Universe.

Yay!
Cornell liked my idea of Greg ‘Jet’ Pak! Recognition!
Steve "Big" McNiven
Dan "Ugly Mirror" Clowes
Adrian "Chinless" Tomine

So let me just ask; is Cornell going to try and use these nicknames or suggest them to the writers/artists?
I would love to see all of these nicknames on the actual comic in the future.
@TheNextChampion – I don’t know, but they sure do spice up those fetish fantasies.
