Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It's come up all of once since then though with a minor character I've forgotten the name of in Avengers Academy who might have been his daughter.
Finesse, who was one of the students and a central character. She also has photographic reflexes and her mom worked with Taskmaster in the past, but when she gets a chance to ask he honestly doesn't know because of the memory thing.

Eh, I'm sure they could get away with saying Flash runs so fast he [technobabble] because [technobabble] and thus can fly.

They've been pretty consistent about him needing either a ramp or the side of a building to run up as much as I can remember.

Jesse Quick and Johnny Quick are both part of the Flash family and can both fly.

Or, you know, they were part of the Flash family before Rebirth and the thereafter destruction of everything Waid ever did.

If the Flash needs to get somewhere up high he can just build a stairway at super speed, he doesn't need to fly.

Rickety scaffolding appears out of nowhere in the middle of the ocean! In unrelated news, the Flash somehow saved an out of control jet liner today...

Or maybe just make swimming motions in the air. Or run around the curvature of the Earth so fast that he flies off at a tangent.

When Wally was at his lower power levels he was able to jump out of a plane and wag his feet fast enough to slow down his descent. At his last recorded levels he can probably just jiggle on up into the stratosphere.

He also has no way of guaranteeing he'd remember Finesse herself, because she doesn't have anything unique about her body language or fighting style, just like Tasky himself.

Impulse and Max Mercury did this to a car in one of the early Impulse issues.

I really loved that book. Mark Waid writing and Ramos had not lost touch with reality yet.

I just read a Spider-Man short story by Joe Hill and Seth Fisher about a Jackass-esque show called Fanboyz where a bunch of tools imitate superhero adventures and get hurt. This was in 2004, have they ever shown up again? It'd be even more appropriate today with all the stupid "prank" videos on YouTube.

Because they continued the numbering from Journey into Mystery. Thor was introduced in #83 so they're counting from that (even though the name of the paper wasn't changed until later).

You're right, King Mob was a bald British author named Kirk Morrison. Obviously completely different.

So the last issue of Fables came out and much to the chagrin of my wallet, it's a trade paperback sized graphic novel. This is nice and all, and the stories were good, and I'm happy HOWEVER I have horrific OCD and I need to now store this monstrosity in a long box with the rest of the series. I'm having a surprising amount of difficulty finding bags/boards for trade paperbacks - anyone have any recommendations?

I just tried and my copy of Dark Knight Returns fits with room to spare inside a silver age bag. If you really need a board, a modern/current sized board should fit, or cut down a silver age one.

If the Fables book is larger, a golden age bag will be bigger.

Yeah I guess I don't need a board. I think I have some Silver Age bags around...somewhere...in the basement...it's scary there if I don't come back send help.
