As a DC fanboy I don't want any gems. The Anti-Life equation is good enough for me. edit: Though I will concede for Wolverine's healing factor, especially after a night of playing hockey.

As a DC fanboy, you're gonna need the Reality gem to fix what's wrong with current DC  .Also regeneration is cool and all, but does your hair regenerate to a certain length too? I know X-23 has been burned to the point that she's bald and then within a scene or two regenerates her hair to full length, does that mean if I get Wolverine regeneration my hair will have to be the same hair Wolverine has and if I try to cut it it just grows back? And what about finger nails, what if your powers decide that 6 inch nails is what your body's natural state for fingernails is? I'm just saying, there are downsides to Wolverine's powers.

Chaos Hippy posted:This is a good derail. Are you planning on grinding your own beef? I do this all the time with about a sixpound mix of superlean and 85% lean ground beef, three pounds of bacon (cooked then crumbled, and also closer to 2 1/2 pounds after eating the slices while cooking) and two packs of shredded cheese. I mix in my seasonings, bust out the burger press and can pull over 30 burgers out of it. Freeze em up and you're good for two months after two hours work. I group them in packs of four with wax paper in case I forget to thaw them the night before I make them. If thawed, they cook up in about three minutes, but I also use a cast iron weight press to cook them with. When I'm eating healthy, I'll do the same thing using only the 95% lean beef.

Once MU gets through Secret Wars then I will belong to a service that piles up unread comics for me. I tried out keeping current with comics week to week through SW but I'm really a person that prefers to be able to read entire runs at once, I forget too much stuff week to week.

It's not a backlog, it's a library. It's a sad person who doesn't own more books than they'll ever be able to read.

My backlog is in different states of delay. I'd say about 70% of the current stuff I follow I'm completely caught up on. I think the longest I'm behind on a current running series that I have already have paid for and is just sitting is four issues. Christmas time really put me behind on stuff but I have priority stuff that I generally read within at least a day or two of release. For stuff that's long since done I have a big backlog, but who doesn't? If you're a comic reader that really wants to read a lot of stuff you should have a sizable backlog that you can pick something random out of at any given time.

It's mostly stuff that I've bought that I haven't had the time to really read yet, not monthlies that I'm behind on. Some of it I've already read but just purchased. I still have Arkwright Integral, Usagi Yojimbo Saga 1-3, Nexus Omnibus 1-3, Complete Elfquest 1-2 and Finder Library 1-2 staring at me from the bookshelf.

When there are linewide Comixology sales, I usually go for several full runs of series (mostly Vertigo type things, not eighty years of Batman or anything.*) I can imagine dying before getting around to reading the complete Scalped I bought for a dollar per issue two or three years ago. *e: Though I did get all the giant recent Batman artist collections when they had a steep discount digitally. I've decided to work through those chronologically, then up through various BMan events I already have on Backlog. Comixology might just go out of business before I get there.

Yes, but he'd sat there for millenia, and she was created on the fly at the end of the series. Neither had really lived "well-adjusted" lives for the entire gap.
