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.

I lived through the 80s. Starfire is like the Super Saiyan Level 3 of the 80s. And it's like, her means of propulsion? Is it all the hairspray that ignites and shoots her into the sky?

Toxic waste did it. There was even an arc fairly recently where a bad guy is pumping out dudes with similar radar powers by replicating the exact circumstances of the original accident on a bunch of hobos or something.

It's also due to his magical pimp Ninja training.
Like it taught him how to focus his senses (according to the Frank Millar run) but even in the Waid run it's clear that his Ninja training is what makes Matt who he is.

So this is more of a service delivery question but I figure this is the best place to ask it. My love of the MCU and superheroes in general has me intrigued about subscribing to Marvel Unimited. My tablet, which I love, is a Kindle Fire, and I'd love to read the comics on that. There's no app for it currently, though. Anyone with the same setup as me, does the web version work okay on a Fire? Also, is there any confllict of interest with Amazon/Marvel/comixology and Marvel Unlimited, or have they just not developed a Kindle MU app yet? I don't know about the legalities of any of this stuff.

Any info is appreciated, and I look forward to perhaps finally diving into the comic world once work stabilizes a bit for me! :)

I'm guessing Amazon wants people to buy individual comics through their service, so they're not interested in Unlimited. Kindle is pretty much a slightly modified Android, so you might be able to get a hold of the apk for MU or something.

I figured as much, but I've also heard the web viewer for MU is pretty good so maybe I can just use that via the Fire browser. :shobon:

Have you tried it recently? All the issues "stream" now so there's really no loading.

They make it sound harder than it is.

You use a webpage that will let you download the APK from the store, and then a file explorer to run that APK. Just like installing a program on a PC.

It only seems harder because first you need to flip the option to allow that, and there's no actual built in file explorer.

Time for a newspaper comics question.

I'm reading IDW's Dick Tracy collections and stuff about Dick Tracy talks about how Flattop was the most popular villain Chester Gould ever created...and I don't see why. He didn't have THAT distinct a physical quirk (a flat head), nor did he do anything THAT exceptional as a villain that others villains didn't do in some fashion. He didn't even have an interesting quirk like Mumbles (who got brought back from the dead more than once because of it). So why did people like Flattop so much? Was it a 1940's thing?

I dunno what the spoilers are (don't wanna!) but last we saw in Batman/Superman Annual #2, he'd been depowered from expending his energy in his new super bomb power, and had to tackle a ton of brainwashed Batman villains who were set on him as a regular dude.
He handled it with Batman, gaining his non-superpowered respect, then a civilian showed up with the same brainwashing and stabbed him in the gut. The comic closed with him slumped over, bleeding and "See what's next in June!"

I understand, those are the spoilers I was referring to. I was wondering what led to it. Because that seems like something that would be extremely out of character. Or at least the version of the character I'm familiar with.
