Since Data is a proper noun in this sense, it would be Datas. If one of them was named Datum, you might make an argument that multiples should be called Data, but you'd be wrong, they'd be called Datums.

Don't go back for second semester. Unless you know for sure you're going to be one of those top 10% of your class yutzes AND you're the kind of twisted mutant who thrives on stress, law practice is a bad life. Also, no, you can't "do anything with a JD" unless "anything" is "be pigeonholed because everyone else wonders why you're applying there instead of making loads of money as a lawyer."

Sorry for the derail, but the youth need to be educated.

That's Mick McMahon, who did a ton of stuff for 2000 AD and various British indie comics and magazines. His style didn't really suit Sonic but he got the job because the main writer was a massive fan of his (he also did some of their Decap Attack strips and it was a much better for for his approach).

Well he touched on that, but he knew that Scott was really asking "Why shouldn't *I* kill myself?". And a sarcastic response probably wouldn't have ended with them hugging it out. Maybe Banner just wanted a situation to end with hugging it out for once.

He also *reeeeeally* likes to use rape as a plot device. But in the first Fury Max volume it's intentionally over-the-top.

For Fury MAX that was kind of the point, for all intents and purposes he was a badass rear end in a top hat whose time had passed and the only way he could be considered heroic was by comparison to what had replaced him and the guys he faced.

Fury MAX is a great take on the character. He's a contradiction of a violent rear end in a top hat who wants to do the right thing while at the same time is aware he's a nasty rear end in a top hat who works for government assholes and the entire system is corrupt to the bone.

The recent MAX miniseries pretty much nailed it on the head how he knows he should kill himself for the American atrocities he's been a part of, but at the same time he can't bring himself to do it. Sort of how most people manage to ignore the blood of their lifestyle.

It's been a long time since I read it, but from what I recall you'd have to read awfully far into it to get something that reasonable out of it. It seemed like a blender where Ennis threw all his stock ideas whether they fit the character or not.

Are you sure we're talking about the same Fury MAX?

I am referring to the one from about a year ago, showing Fury's life through various American wars and the associated atrocities.

I just finished reading Fury and his Howling Commandos and Steranko's run on the 60's spy stuff. Fury MAX looks more like Ennis writing his stock rightious rear end in a top hat than an interesting take on that character.

It reads a lot better in context to be honest. It does suffer from a lot of "Ennis-isms" for want of a better term. Such as the "muscle" being a giant called "Fuckface" (because it as bitten off by a shark) who rapes people to death... Ok, THAT makes it sound worse than it is. Fury as a character in it is good though.
