...That was better than I thought it would be, can we have a mini-series about Earth-2's Clark and Bruce friendship through the ages?

Also, would that be before or after the Wayne's got killed?

I'm going to assume since it points out how sad Bruce is and Alfred's the one watching him, it's after.

They were both published in 1991 and the Judge Death story was originally published the year before but I'm wondering if there wasn't a similar situation in an old movie like Death Takes A Holiday or On Borrowed Time that was the inspiration for all of them. There's been personifications of Death having holidays on Earth for decades and decades.

I'm pretty sure one of the 1001 Arabian Nights was an early version of "Death Takes a Holiday" (Later remade as the Matt Damon vehicle Meet Joe Black).

It's amazing to go to different places and see vastly different reactions to writers, like I've seen places utterly crucify Jason Aaron as ruining the character of Scott Summers, and having a massive erection for Wolverine. I personally never saw it like that, but it's weird seeing him get praised when I'm used to seeing him get shat upon.

There are people who poo poo on Jason Aaron? Hell he wrote a possible start for a Scott/Logan reconciliation, if no one else picks up on that it's not his fault. Especially since he's leaving WATXM to do Amazing X-Men, and the first arc is pirate adventures in the afterlife.

It's sunny and 72 degrees here by the San Francisco Bay. Nice enough that they've opened the doors to the porches on the fourth floor here at work. Breezes blowing through the hallways.

Whiteout conditions, you say?

If you like winter, Why the gently caress are you in the Bay? I hate winter, which means I'm basically stuck in California the rest of my life. It's the best thing about it, no loving winter. Every time I read a message post or a Facebook message talking about how cold it is I just laugh.

I'm not going to watch it, because it's 2 hours long and no one who watched it said it was good. But if it's supposed to be bridges between fights, why would any expect it to hold up as a movie?

How are this book's sales? I'm interested to know what the general audience reaction to it has been.

Unlike print, I don't think they give out hard numbers for digital sales, but rumors are it does even better there. If a given issue is number 8 that week in print (pulling numbers out of my rear end) it will be the number 4 digital comic that week (again, numbers out of my rear end).

Well you really can't fault them for that, the Muslim TV networks have the non-violent extremist speakers that come on speak aboutthe Nazis and how they should properly emulate them to be effective.

You wanna hear about why only Muslim women are superior or how all non-muslims are automatically liars? There's about 5 Networks that cater to that demographic. It's loving weird because you don't see white supremacists talk about the Nazis that much in depth and about arming people for genocide, but yeah it's a real thing that is happening.

I didn't read USM past Mark Bagley's departure and/or Harry Osborn's death (or has that been retconned too?) and I'm still kinda mad at Bendis for killing off Gwen Stacy the way he did.

And now this has me thinking about why on earth the movies didn't entirely pilfer from the Ultimate Spidey and have Gwen and Mary Jane be like those incarnations, where they had some personality.

Gwen Stacy got better, Harry didn't.

3 of the greatest directors of all time are a rapist, a child molester and a literal Nazi, so while I understand avoiding art based on the actions of the artist, it's not a view I subscribe to.

Sadly not. The licensing agreement might prevent them from put that stuff on there, considering they have stuck some of the Afterlife and Circle lines on. (Similar to how the only non-MU content on Marvel's version is Star Wars, because they're owned by the same parent company)

That's annoying, I hoped it would since the license is still active for Archie, versus all the Marvel poo poo (except Star Wars) that is from deals that expired long ago.

They look pretty decent, as a matter of fact. They're explorers more than soldiers, why wouldn't they be on the fitter side of average? The distinct drawing styles clash too much, though.

They would look fine, unless you compare them to the X-Men on the very same page. And Kirk gets a ton of cardio-vascular work-outs from all the green alien girls.

Rising standards of body perfection from the 80s onwards have really warped perceptions of how fit the men of the 50s-70s actually were.

My problem isn't actually with how the crew is drawn, t's that they are drawn that way, but Jean, Scott and Bishop are still drawn in the 90's Marvel style. It's a pseudo military vessel that has fist fights weekly as part of their diplomatic missions. When this was made, yes, James Kirk was portrayed by an actual human being and Scott Summers hadn't yet, but (aside from the laser eyes) from what I know about the fictional history of these characters Kirk should be roughly as fit as Summers, maybe a little less, because he's older, but if Kirk and crew are in their the TOS uniforms and Grey is wearing that costume, not much older.

Okay, I get that they don't need to eat, but if they're synthezoids or whatever, why don't they have taste buds? Eating food you really don't need to eat just because it tastes good seems like a core part of suburban existence that they're missing out on.
