"Alfheim - home of the cat-eating aliens" 

December 17, 2010 7:24 pm I remember this from the Handbook to the Marvel Universe when I was a kid (I forget which version, Grunwald was editing).  I got issue #1, just because it was a #1, and it was in there and I thought it was so awesome.  I was all like, "there are EVEN WORSE places than Hell!?"

December 16, 2010 9:52 am My favorite part of that bit is the payoff: Daimio demands that Roger puts on some pants.  Turns out the whole "block of wood with a ring through it" is even more disturbing with pants on.

December 14, 2010 4:28 pm Guys, don't freak out with the "if X doesn't win I'll be disappointed" comments.  The Golden Globes are basically meaningless, because they are super crooked.  The Hollywood Foreign Press are the most easily bribed journalists in the world; sometimes the bribe is just getting to have a picture taken with famous people (probably why THE TOURIST got nominated).

Save the outrage for the Oscars and Emmys. For your health!

December 1, 2010 11:19 pm Not very surprising.  This is the whole reason that it took over a decade to get a Spider-Man movie made (and that Jim Cameron turned down a chance to make it in the early 90s): the technology doesn't exist to do these stunts with people.  Not without risking serious injury.

Superman shouldn't fly around with his eyes closed like that.  He could kill somebody.

@mmyoung: Victory!

Also, it's apparently possible to reply to oneself.  Noted.

The site is informing me that my Twitter handle must have only letters or numbers (it's mm_young).  Won't accept my change.  Bug, or feature?

November 18, 2010 12:26 am Er, I meant JOE Eisma.  My bad.
