I was reading Fantastic Four #285 and Sue Storm has some really, really terrible hair in it here's an example of it, but not from #285. Is this the worst hair in comic history? Is there a story reason for this? Was she a skrull that didn't get the concept of hair? If there has been worse hair then who's is it? Also in #285 a kid douses himself in fuel and sets himself on fire because Johnny Storm is his favourite hero, I found this funnier than I probably should do.

That reminds me of Rachel Summers' original haircut, the vaunted femmullet.

You should find it exactly that funny because that's always going to be hilariously overdramatic and dumb, and it only ever happens with Johnny. Where's my kid shoving knives in his hands because Wolverine is his favorite hero, Marvel?

Fantastic Four 285 came out in 1985. You're lucky her hair looked that good in 1985.

What I liked even more about it was the beyonder takes Storm back into the past to show him what a really lovely life this kid was leading so actually setting himself on fire and dying in agony was a pretty good thing to happen.

That kind of hair was acceptable in the 80's. It was acceptable at the time. MJ rocked a pretty mean perm.

What became of Sherlock Holmes in the LoEG universe? In the first volume, he's only mentioned in the "present day" of the storyline, then he appears in a flashback where he beats Moriarty at Reichenbach and the last we see of him is him climbing back to safety. Neither he nor Watson are mentioned in volume two and I don't recall any mention of him in the subsequent entries.

Ah right, I see. So it was basically like the novels. It's always odd how writers love using Mycroft and Moriarty but never Holmes himself. Biggest example that occurs to me: Kim Newman explained that Holmes and Watson are political prisoners in a camp on the Sussex Downs in Anno Dracula because if Holmes had been in London he would have solved the murder mystery in no time and there wouldn't have been a plot.

I think it's a case that Sherlock has already been used one hundred billion times, so giving the spotlight to the secondary characters is more fun and allows the writer to put their own stamp on them, whereas Holmes is always going to be well, Holmes.

How is Green Arrow's chili recipe that he serves to the rest of the Justice League in any way painful to them? You can't put less than five tablespoons of spice (and not even hot spice, it's all smoky poo poo) into a pound and a half's worth of meat and expect it to taste better than dogfood. Are all the made-up cities that the Justice League come from in the Midwest?

I've been reading the X-men through Marvel Unlimited and now entering the post Muir Island era. Things seem to be getting complicated with a lot of backstage stuff like the Image Exodus. Could someone give me a little primer on what things are going to be like both in story and outside stuff like Claremont/Lee creative differences and Talent stuff?

Not even mad about that. Flashpoint: Batman was really good. Somebody post the "Does he turn out like his father?" "Yes." "A surgeon?" "..." page. Or however that went. Batman having interactions with Batdad is one of those things, like facing down Darkseid, that shows that Batman gets into much wilder poo poo than just punching lunatics.

Marvel Comics: The Untold Story gets into this a little, but mostly just the personalities involved, not like what effect it has on the storylines.

I'd use more cumin and paprika for a pound and a half of meat but the biggest issue I see is that there aren't any actual chilies in the Green Arrow's chili. That and way too many kidney beans, but I don't like kidney beans and use pintos myself.

I haven't read much of that era, but basically you're heading into a lot of crossovers (X-cutioner's Song, Phalanx Covenant, AoA, Onslaught etc up as far as 1996 anyway). I think the above-mentioned book plus another one, Comic Creators on X-Men, would clue you in more to the behind-the-scenes stuff, since it's all straight from the horses mouths. I haven't read Marvel Comics: The Untold Story but the other book has some really insightful interviews between the individual creators and Tom DeFalco, all the way up to the likes of Morrison and Millar in the early 2000s.

Magneto was already full time villain before Jim Lee came around, Claremont gave some good explanations for why Magneto gave up on the Xavier dream so I thought he would have moved on. I'm going to sit down and read X-men 1-3 so it might be Magneto trying to kill everyone with Asteroid M or something if Claremont vs Lee was about Magneto's depiction
