I don't want to see scenes explaining how Superman uses the toilet either or explanations of what the Hulk eats. There's enough of that boring, uneventful crap in real life. But I never get to see a muscular chick in leather throw a guy with 4 arms and a pair of horns through a city bus in real life. It's called escapism.

Classy.

Classy. I was at the”Gays in Comics” panel at SDCC, and I have never, in my 19 years at SDCC, seen someone float their own boat as much as Moore did.

If Paul Levitz ever really gave a $#!+ about widening the audience for comics, he wouldn't have contributed so greatly to the death of newsstand comics by overseeing a line of books that has been geared totally toward fanboys and not at all toward the true mass-market, general audience. 2. If the new executives at Archie truly are going to always maintain the integrity of their characters, then why the hell are they having Archie marry Veronica? That's almost as stupid and offensive as Marvel killing off Gwen Stacy back in '73 (although NOTHING could EVER be as stupid and offensive as that). I really hope the whole thing turns out to be just another "imaginary story" or something, so that Archie, the last bastion of integrity in this pathetic, sell-out industry, doesn't go the same route as Marvel and DC. Hey, I've got an idea: they could just make the Archie and Veronica who get married CLONES!! Brilliant!! I should write for Marvel! 3. I'm really sorry to hear that Disney is going to "reach out to fans" with this lame convention idea. Maybe they should say "suck up to fanboys". The whole reason Disney HAS a "market cap of $49.8 billion" is because they produce products that appeal to the MASSES, not to a tiny clique of inbred retards (sorry Brian, I guess you'll have to censor that). Have a nice day. Here I am once again to offer my ever-unpopular, Anti-Fanboy opinions.
