Aren't they relaunching the whole line soon with Mark Waid writing? Not exactly post-modern, but depending on how that goes it seems like they're actually going to be trying to modernize the whole thing at the very least, with some real writing talent behind it.

And Fiona Staples is drawing it too, I guess.


They're relaunching one comic with Mark Waid writing and hoping to relaunch a few more in the future. They won't stop printing the stuff you see on supermarket checkouts, though.

I believe it's the letterer. John Workman's letters perfectly complement Simonson's art, and Workman was the first letterer, in my own comics-reading history, to make me think there was anything other than plain utility to the craft.
Yeah, unless the sound effects are *really* integrated into the art (a la Quitel's Batmobile panel that I can't find a good source of), it's the letterer.

He was both smaller and had a higher body fat percentage, all while still being a terrifyingly huge dude. The Rock is not human.
It's much easier to eat right and work specific routines when you're not on the road 5 days out of 7.

Also, he's not drug tested anymore.

Nope. Until about 10 years ago, the only thing other than a toilet WWE wrestlers pissed into, was another wrestler's mouth after a bender.

No no, they would occasionally piss and poop into each other's bags.

I love that art. Is the book worth picking up? I heard it was picking up on some of the pre-Decimation status quo from Morrison's run.

I like the Squirrel Girl art a lot and think it's very fitting for the content.

I wouldn't want Henderson on any just book (though I can only think of one or two who are adaptable for just about anything - Stuart Immonen comes to mind immediately), but there's also few artists I think I'd rather have on Squirrel Girl.

I sell phones, and can confirm that there are still plenty of idiots in the world who think they don't need cases because "I'm always careful. I've never broken a phone in my life!"

I bet the money they've saved on cases and insurance would pay for a new phone.

My iPhone 6 is the first phone I've had where I felt like it actually needed a case. I only put a case on my previous phone after Apple broke it trying to repair it under warranty and gave me a new one. I've yet to break any and screen repairs aren't really that expensive, anyway.

If he's ever shown up again, it was in panel backgrounds, and you're asking a question about magic space rings, so stop trying to make sense of it.

So how would you explain yellow to someone with no concept of colour, or what colour or light even are?
Well, Katma Tui managed to explain the color green to him well enough that he could assign a note that feels similar, so I'm sure she could explain yellow.

It's in the Torah, but Judaism doesn't really have an afterlife in the way that the common idea of Christianity does (which isn't even really an accurate depiction of Christianity and doesn't come from Jesus's words in the Bible in any case).

That is like wearing an IS shirt in Times Square.

It looks more like an improperly colored Larfleeze t-shirt to me. Who doesn't love Larfleeze?

It was called Zero Hour. Hal Jordan destroyed the universe but it got recreated with a new big bang. They used this as a chance to soft-retcon stuff like Batman no longer knew who murdered his parents.

No, he's talking about Countdown [To Final Crisis], which is best known for a) Superboy Prime saying things like "I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH" b) the Jokester (he's like the Joker, but nice), c) Forerunner, and d) an evil Mary Marvel beating Donna Troy with Kyle Raynor.
