You know, there's a lot to hate about this lovely comic, but the sound effect "ska-reem" pisses me off for some reason and I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's not really a sound effect, it's just trying to pretend it is? If it was in a better comic I'd probably be far more forgiving about it.

This is the first time I've been making sure to read every Spiderman comic because I really wanted to see how awful Rocket Raccoon would look with a Guardians crossover.

No, his name's just Rocket, and he's not a raccoon, he's a sentient alien whose species just happens to look like raccoons.

They absolutely still use casts. In my experience, the cast comes off after about six weeks once the bone has started to knit, and then you use the brace to keep from reinjuring yourself for a few more weeks. I don't know how different that is for small children, though.

They make this joke in the movie. He has never seen an Earth Raccoon, and is a completely different animal that was uplifted in a science program. Any resemblance is just coincidental.

Intelligent Life

Take It From the Tinkersons

I'm going to give credit to Intelligent Life for making me really like Barry as a person (even in spite of the comic's intentions), which is an incredible feat given how reviled this thing was when it first showed up.

It helps when we have to compare it to TInkersons, which is still the most abysmal trash. What is the joke here? "Child is terrified by middling threat?"

I thought he was an earth raccoon, because aliens just abduct and experiment on whatever the gently caress they can find???

I hate that after all the making fun of Gilchrist for the "To Be Continued" stuff, here was have Bushmiller doing the same thing. Of course, this was a Tuesday rather than a Monday and maybe this is just a gag for a few days so it's a little better.

Well, you learn something new everyday I guess. It's been a long time since I've seen one, is all. Maybe as goatface said they're not used for as many breaks as they used to be.

That was his 1970s origin, which was quickly buried and/or retconned away when the Guardians hit it big.
