I think Neal is slowly going down the same route Gil Kane did, no layouts, no erasing. Once it's on the page it's on the page and he draws everything with a Sharpie.

Edit: I say this because when I saw him in Chicago some years back he was exclusively using Sharpies for every sketch he did.

Meh, I haven't been to a con, but I can't imagine anyone popular doing sketches with a pencil.

I'm not going to call it great art or anything, but aside from Monica Rambeu I thought Land was decent on Mighty Avengers. Especially when the writer was making him draw extra dimensional entities or chicken headed thugs.

His Rambeu wasn't even that bad, just obviously a white chick he gave dark skin.

I know she's not a well known character outside of comics, and I thought Brian Woods run on Adjectiveless X-Men was kinda boring, but I think Psylocke's new costume in that run is probably my favorite costume redesign in the pat decade (Danver's Captain Marvel suit might beat it)

So, a long time ago I saw a series of panels where Reed Richards convinces (demands) Johnny to drink something, then reveals it's water distilled from urine. Does anyone have that lying around?

I don't have the panels but that's from Warren Ellis' too brief run on Ultimate Fantastic Four. He wrote #'s 7-18 if that helps.

So in Hickman's Avengers all of the universes are collapsing together and the Illuminati send Hank Pym to find the source of it. None of that's actually important, the most important piece of info from the latest New Avengers is that this universe exists (or at least used to).

I mean, if we're being all subjective about it every bit of American food I've had is garbage, but that probably because it's mostly lovely fast food that we get here. Though I've tried American cheese and Chocolate too and those were both loving awful, when I visited America we mostly ate stuff like steak and lobster and other fancy foods, or like Chinese food and such.

The Chinese food in America is pretty good, I seem to remember, though we couldn't find a decent curry or any kind of Indian food at all in the US, that alone makes it bottom of the barrel in the world stakes all on it's own if you ask me. We also couldn't really find a chippy, but I hesitate to refer to chippy food as good in any real sense of the world.

Oh yeah, the Five Guys in Glasgow is pretty divisive. A lot of people say it's amazing, but I thought it was kinda lovely, and I know a few other people who say the same. Like, If I wanted a poo poo burger I'd go to a Wetherspoons or something and it would only cost half as much.

Where were you in America? West Coast at least has tons of great Indian. And don't call the American fast food that opens in Europe, American food, that'd be like us calling Olive Garden Italian.

Also what's a chippy?

Anecdotally there's an inverse relationship between how big my tip is and how long a customer wants their beef cooked. Also, if you think that'sthat's bad, get 3 different people from 3 different states in the same room and ask them the proper way to make chili.

Same thing for the MLP comic. They might have funny parts, but they have a rather negative effect on the discussion.

No, the sonic thing was definitely because someone was posting way, way too many of them in short bursts. I'm pretty sure most of us can resist the urge to talk about Sonic.

Nah, the way it appears on screen it looks like he changed their programming, and they continue to follow that programming even when he's distracted or otherwise occupied. I just thought of it as rewiring their circuit boards or something along those lines. It's best to just roll with it, it's not like they explained why Kitty Pryde suddenly had the ability to send people's minds into the past, but if she couldn't there wouldn't be any movie at all.
