I can't be the only person that notices the similarity between Horn Head and famous defense attorney Matt Murdoch.

I think he looks more like famous blind defense attorney Matt Murdoch's lesser-known brother, Mike.

I want Mike Murdock to show up in Daredevil season 3. It's Charlie Cox with lovely bleached tips and a goatee.

Man, the Top Ten universe is so fun. Is any of the non-Alan Moore stuff worth reading?

No. Whatever the opposite of reading is, that's what you should do with the non-Alan Moore Top Ten comics.

It was a fun little reference when Rosario Dawson's character called him Mike in the first season.

Sigh.

Yeah, I figured as much, but thought I should check.

Moore is generally a hard act to follow--even in the collected Swamp Thing trades, the stories not written by him are horrible in comparison, the one with Abby's weird Frankenstein dad or whatever was almost incomprehensible.

I never bothered with the Before Watchmen stuff on principle, but I am curious if any of it somehow managed to be decent.

I think I'm the person in BSS that likes the non-Moore Top Ten stuff the most...and even I'm like "eehhhhh". Like, it's not super terrible like people here react like it is, but it's definitely not in the same league as the Moore penned stuff.

I read the one he drew and the one he wrote with Conners. It wasn't Watchmen, but it was solid comics.

When you're at the beach and a muscle-bound jerk kicks sand in your face and makes off with your girl, all you can really do is get buff yourself. Then buy off the police to murder and bury the jerk and replace your girl with a harem of child sex slaves.

That's why when they did a new Richie Rich TV series they made sure that he was rich because of something he personally invented and it wasn't inherited or old money.

His name was Pauper Pop and Richie would construct huge Rube Goldberg machines to play an elaborate game of Keep Away with a loaf of bread that Pop needed to feed his children.
