"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


His cameo in the Spider-Man PS4 game was perfect, but I’m sure they have something special for him in Avengers 4.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

quote:

Mr. Lee constantly addressed and engaged the readers. In his memoir, written with George Mair, he remembered one particular author’s note: “On the cover I wrote something like, ‘Look, this may not be one of the best stories we’ve ever done, but we’ve given you enough good ones so that you owe it to us to buy this lemon anyway.' ”

I just re-read the original Howard the Duck #4, and the first item in the letter column was from Stan, telling Steve Gerber what a great job he was doing. Gerber said the only thing that would have made him happier would have been a letter from Albert Camus.

By the time you hit 1980's and the line explosion, nobody could have kept up with everything Marvel was releasing monthly. But I'd like to think that Stan kept reading some of his favorites as long as he could.

I'm getting laser surgery today. They didn't discuss what color lasers I get, but I certainly hope they are real lasers and not stupid punch dimension portals.

If your name isn't alliterative then you're probably not going to get anything better than laser pointer eyes. I mean, unless your real name is something like "Mike Lezar" in which case you are definitely getting death beams and a desperate need to show those fools once and for all.

No, i think you misunderstood. It doesn't matter the color, they're going to be unique and named after him. The important thing is that he's going to end up with an Endless Supply of Mike Lasers.

Have you prepared a proper Clairemontian Battle Phrase to accompany the sudden infusion of InfiniRays that your surgeryaccident will provide?

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'm still fixated on my new party game of "name as many superheroes that obviously read books all the time and frequently on panel as you can in 30 seconds", I think it's going to be the hot trend of 2019.

Unexceptional men like billionaires Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark.

Anyway, real talk, the surgery was quick and easy and the surgeon says everything looks great. After a mandatory nap after getting home, my vision seems almost as good as when I wore contacts, just with some glare that should go away with time.

Wait until you see car headlights at night. That's when the starbursts were the worst for me.

This is actually kind of an interesting thing to think about. The ones that spring to mind for me are Beast and the old X-Statix member Vivisector. Paige Guthrie too, she was always reading a textbook in early Gen X issues.

It gets better, but then you get old and pretty much now I'm pushing back on getting the reading glasses I need.

I got a magnifying glass years ago and headlights have always been absolutely blinding to me - but I also have

R: +0.5/-3.25 x 2
L: +3.0/-3.75 x168

as you see a very hefty does of astigmatism. That's a big reason why I have a 12.9" iPad Pro and not a 10.5" or 11" as my main comic reading device. I need that poo poo to be big to read comfortably. Also the astigmatism makes all 3D movies into 2h of torture and headaches, which means instead of going to the cinema I mostly watch movies at home now.
