I just picked it up because of this thread. It's crazy seeing a serious read on the characters' personalities (I'm only an issue in). Betty and Veronica are a lot more passive aggressive towards each other. The upside is that Moose doesn't preface everything he says with a "D-uh".

FMguru posted:It's sunny and 72 degrees here by the San Francisco Bay. Nice enough that they've opened the doors to the porches on the fourth floor here at work. Breezes blowing through the hallways. If you like winter, Why the gently caress are you in the Bay? I hate winter, which means I'm basically stuck in California the rest of my life. It's the best thing about it, no loving winter. Every time I read a message post or a Facebook message talking about how cold it is I just laugh.

I don't know where you live, but here in the southeast, we're fluctuating wildly between winter's last hurrah with highs of 50 and then jumping into the 70s like every other day. It hit 78 on Sunday. It won't be long until that bastard sun wins, and then it's just a slow humid climb in temperature from there.

Tuesday was the only day in the past six months to have weather above 40. Wednesday saw 8 inches of snow. We were at snowfall records a month ago, and that hasn't stopped it yet.

Yeah, sorry for unintentionally causing that whole derail.. Anyways, here's some FF #11: In it, the Impossible Man is trying to get the FF to take in his kid, who is "all too possible". Little Adolf just wants to read books all day and doesn't have any interest in crazy shenanigans like Impossible Man is. However, when the FF approach him, Adolf freaks out and starts crushing them all in shrinking. Here's how Medusa handles the situation.

Aren't Poppuppians only supposed to be shapeshifters? How's the kid doing that?

Impossible Man is at different times just a shape shifter, Marvel's Mr. Mxyzptlk, or literally Mr. Mxyzptlk(as implied by some DC comic at one point).

From Mega Man #35. Some background on the two characters: - Blues/Proto Man/Break Man is the first human-like robot with his own personality created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. His power source was unstable and would eventually kill him, so obviously Light wanted to operate on it. Unfortunately, fixing it would possibly affect his programming and change who he is. Blues didn't like the idea of that, especially when he overheard Light consider that maybe getting rid of Blues' rebellious streak would be for the better, and ran away from home. Years later, he was dying and chose to return home. He saw Light hugging Rock and Roll and ran off once again. He was eventually found by Dr. Wily, who fixed him up. - Tempo/Quake Woman is a robot created by Dr. Lalinde, a colleague of Light's. She had a happy personality and was like a daughter to Lalinde until she was nearly destroyed in a cave-in. Lalinde rebuilt her but chose to remove all semblance of emotions so she wouldn't get attached and wouldn't have to deal with the emotional fallout. Eventually, she realized that she couldn't handle seeing Tempo as a husk of her former self and reinstalled her personality. Break Man confronted Tempo to ask her, "Why?"

Mega Man really is a shockingly good comic, even the parts that had to be developed entirely from original material to fill space between games, which are the parts you'd expect to be godawful.

Is that Dr Cossack in the picture above the TV there? Always good to see him get more screen time.

Megaman is legit one of the best comics around, simply because you can FEEL the writers and artists are all fans and they really love the source material.

I really like how they multiple times used the voice balloons to take us through the flow of the argument, even the points with interruption.

Ultimate Spider-Man #200 is about all of Peter's friends (as well as Miles and Ganke, who never met him) getting together to celebrate his life, two years after his death. At one point, to break the silence, Mary Jane asks if anyone ever thinks about what Peter would have been like had he grown up. They all go over their own ideas, accompanied by two-page spreads. Mary Jane thinks that he would have led the Ultimates and would have been a better leader and superhero than Captain America. Aunt May thinks he would have merged his love for science and heroics by leading a team of science-based superheroes. Gwen thinks he would have become a Daily Bugle reporter so he could expose corruption and bring guys like the Kingpin to justice. Miles likes to believe that he could have been partners, granted that Peter didn't hate him. Then it's Kitty's turn.

Fair warning to everyone, the following pages are very touching, but they're not inspiring at all.     Originally published in 2000AD prog 324.

Bendis is really good at stomach punch moments in USM. Doesn't quite top "Were you Spider-Man's mommy?" but pretty drat close.
