July 4, 2008 3:16 am I think the point isn't that the actor portraying the Joker dies but instead that a movie that probably pushes the limits of a PG-13 rating is being marketed towards children who aren't old enough to SEE the movie. I agree that this is inappropriate. If McDonalds caught flak over marketing Happy Meals with 'Batman Returns' merchandise I can't see where this would get a pass.
Hey Conor! Fun Mini ep! A little more internet research showed that the Kirby story you talked about- Rorrg King of the Spiders, was reprinted from Journey Into Mystery #64. That's probably where the name 'Mystic' came from- an amalgam of the Marvel titles it was reprinting. Interesting though that it was a black and white reprint too and not color like the originals.
Hey cool this is my first iFanboy comment. Of the three of you I'm firmly along the lines of your tastes Conor- I find myself agreeing with many of your opinions of books and currently slant towards DC myself.
