May 26, 2011 10:40 pm Someone please stop Ron from butchering the word, "Ouvre"... please.

For God's sake, Josh has corrected him several times in the past and it doesn't seem to stick.

While many people would be happy to mock Ron for this, I will not... all I can say is: Find a word you can pronounce, Ron.

That's all... great vid on Swamp Thing. I've really enoyed that character for years, and it doesn't get enough credit for the great art and writing. Good stuff.

May 24, 2011 7:34 am Paul, it just occurred to me that Scott is a lot like Ted from Scrubs with optic beams... huh.

I never thought of him as a super-powered sad-sack before... I always though he was more of a douche.

I've been proven wrong again! Egads!

And everyone knows that Phoenix Jean would be hotter in bed... Marvel Girl Jean strikes me as more of a lay-there-and-be-awkward-type. And while it may be alluring at first, it quickly will become irritating. Maybe that's why he's always fighting with Wolverine... maybe his costume isn't the only thing that's blue.

May 24, 2011 7:19 am I am a X-Men fan who is retarded for the 80's stuff, and as I recall, at the finale of the Inferno storyline in X-Factor, Walt Simonson drew a page where Cyclops blasted Mr. Sinister's flesh from his bones. And that isn't even the full extent of his abilities, which leads me to believe that Wolverine (I actually like that character, and not Cyclops, who's kind of a douche), if blasted full-on, would be dead instantly in the wake of that kind of power.

At least, that's how Chris Claremont would write it... and you know what? He'd be right, because he's CHRIS-FREAKIN-CLAREMONT!!!

Great comments on this one so far... much better than this tired idea is... it was old in the early 80's fer Christ's sake.        

May 24, 2011 7:02 am @spaceghost15  After a confession like that, I feel my eyes welling up and slowly opening my arms to give you a great big hug.

That, and the aternating feeling like I should slap you... maybe I'll just offer both.

Great comment and a fun-looking trailer, but I wonder why new ideas often don't seem to make it to the theatres any more... and the overwhelmingly positive comments on this thread seem to say why: because nostalgia is more important than fresh material.

But to be honest, if my nieces wanted to go, I'd go with them, in a 70's-era Kermit T-Shirt while shreaking like a little girl everytime Animal appeared on screen. It just occurred to me that I know how to impersonate most of the characters... but Fraggle Rock was more fun to watch because it was the subterranean Moloid version of the Muppets.

I'm such a hypocrite.

April 26, 2011 9:02 pm @PaulMontgomery  For the record, I know that, but I choose to ignore the name and enjoy the funny first. And I have yet to be disappointed by either... thanks for putting the time and thought into these man, they're awesome.

I laughed so hard I almost wet myself, and then remembered that I have dignity and self-respect... but those two things aren't my birthright! Why am I deluding myself?! 


*racking sobs*


Oh, and when Post-Coital Thor gets done taking the lass "Across the Rainbow Bridge" (Asgardian Whore-speak... you can't afford it), are his demands for a sandwich as obnoxious as I imagine they would be? Or does he just take the Flagon of mead off her head and run out the door while muttering something about "Ymir's Beard!" or "Ice Giants!!! Gotta go!!!"


Just curious... you guys are great. This one was hysterical, Paul... but with the TV reference, I should've known it was you.


Keep up the great work!       

April 12, 2011 11:19 pm I would like to think that Marvel is concerned about putting out quality comics with a consistent creative team that lasts longer than three or four months (remember Moon Knight? That's what I mean...) instead of focusing on 80's and 90's retreads that weren't that great to begin with. 

Is Spidey going to have his powers taken by the Chameleon and then be constantly attacked by his varying enemies until he finally gets his powers back? Is Wolverine going to fight a robot made of a mysterious metal that his claws can't pierce in Madripoor? Is Gligamesh gonna show up in Avengers tower for no reason? Or, how about Wolvie and Spidey team up in Germany?

I hope not, because all that crap happened already... time to move on, and come up with some new ideas, instead of apeing the stories of old. And maybe, just maybe, you won't have to come up with events every ten seconds to keep our attention. A comic costs a little less than a gallon of gas in California, for cryin' out loud!

Is it just me, or is this era in comics just becoming the inverse of the artist-centric nonsense of the 90's where now the writers are the ones going nuts? And the idea that we, as fans are trained to go for the shiny red button of "Events" is ridiculous, since most of the best ones in the past (just like now) are often spaced by years. If it becomes event after event, no true stories are being told, and while I like popcorn, you can't live off it as the sole source of nutrition.
