I thought guests were the ones who are supposed to bring gifts.

I mean you're already paying for the loving wedding.

I hear you but the amount of stuff that comes with paying for the wedding. My fiance is freaking out about having to pay for her bridesmaids make up and hair as is.

I figured we would all wear superhero t-shirts under our tuxes and that would be it. Haven't really considered renting the tuxes as well but could possibly budget for it. Also there is already a fine bottle of whisky to go along with the flasks.

I've been to two weddings where the groomsmen all turned to face the guests and opened their shirts to reveal super hero shirts.


It's very awkward, especially when that one groomsman is 300lbs+

We had a few guests who never brought gifts, even when they promised they'd send them "later." It's annoying, but what are you gonna do?

The saddest part of a wedding is that it's probably the last time you'll hang out with a lot of those people. Everyone splinters off into couples, then people start having kids (we're child-free by choice, but everyone else we know did), nobody lives nearby anymore, and then you're just Facebook friends.

But it's still the best day of my life, no lie. Madkal, I wish you all the best for your wedding, and even better for every day after. Make sure you pay for good food and ensure good music is played, because people always remember that stuff, not the centerpieces or anything ephemeral like that.

He's talking about the wedding party, groomsmen and bridesmaids get gifts, usually worth a lot less than whatever your wedding party spent to be there for your special day.

Iron Fist episode 5: still holding out to see what RZA makes of this, but if I wasn't, this is where I would have quit. When I want corporate legal drama I pick up a John Grisham novel.

*most popular Iron Fist comic, full of fights, pulp action and mystical happenings has like five pages tops of business drama*

*show adapted from it has multiple business and courtroom scenes, also fighting scenes are real bad*

Episode 6: okay this was actually pretty decent. RZA knows what he's doing; specifically I got the impression that he knew exactly what level of martial arts aptitude he could count on and staged the fight scenes accordingly. Good episode.

It's gonna be downhill all the way from here, isn't it?

Episode 7: I expect Ward to start talking about Huey Lewis and the News any second.

These Marvel shows shift gear a lot, don't they? Set up a conflict, build it up for one or two episodes, then, bang, it's resolved and there's a new status quo before you blink. At times it feels like they dug out rejected scripts and shoehorned in Danny Rand and a fight scene (it definitely did with ep 5). And they love killing off central characters mid season, which would work better as a watercooler moment if they didn't release the whole season at once. I'm wary of what's to come since this is the exact thing that ruined Luke Cage for me.

There'll always be Marvelman.

I just thought of Miracleman for the first time in a while and googled it out of curiosity to see how it was progressing, and I forgot that Marvel got the rights in 2009 literally the summer after I graduated from high school. I remember reading the press releases and thinking that waiting until 2013 for the new Gaiman stuff was gonna be such a long wait.

and now it is 2017 and i just laugh and laugh

I can picture it now...

"We're proud to announce that, for the 10th anniversary of Miracleman's time with Marvel, we're finally gonna give the people what they want:

We're changing his name back to Marvelman! We'll start releasing each individual issue in October with the original name still at $4.99 an issue!"

"But we have one more very special surprise for everyone, a preview of some new Marvelman content!"

I'm about 50 issues into Alpha Flight, and I gotta be honest with you guys, I love it. They are all terrible. They're the worst superheroes. I'm not exaggerating when I say they spend most of their time, a clear majority of their superheroing, on preventing their own members from going evil.

I think that a six-asterisk footnote across a single page of comics should legitimately get recognized by some kind of governing body. If that means they get put in the Guinness Book or if it means they get an Eisner, I'm fine either way.
