Astonishing X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Captain Britain, DCU Decisions, JSA, & the "Jimmy-Jam" Olsen Special. Good week! BQ: I would say yes, but I'm a coward. There's no way I'd actually go through with it.

I could've sworn Josh was a FC and Ron was a SP! Shows what I know.

@stulach -- 'Hair of Hades'

Ron's got a point -- even in the Manichean world of superhero comics there are relative shades of evil. Some villains's villainy seems to stem mostly from their opposition to the protagonist/hero, which is why someone like Catwoman, for example, can shift relatively seemlessly from "bad-guy" to "good-guy". Further, the term "evil" is cheapened ...

I frickin' can't stand The Shark. Horrible. Just horrible.

I think we fear zombies because they represent the terror of herd mentality in action within human society. The decomposition is a bonus.

I'll give 'The Stand' a try, and stick with FC: Reveleations for now. BQ: "Pig's Eye" / The Twin Cities

@WadeWilson - Although your point that "writing [is] about communicating" is well taken, the notion that the quality of a piece of writing is related to the portion of readers for whom it is understandable is a problematic one, if for no other reason than that history has repeatedly shown that some artists are legitimately ahead of their time. Their work may be broadly misunderstood ...

I'm really excited about JSA, somewhat excited about Superman, and vaguely interested in 'Final Crisis:Superman Beyond'. BQ: Josh - leave it off for a while, and then bring it back in an altogether different form when they least expect it. YOU'VE GOT TO DIVEST THEM OF THEIR COMPLACENCY !!!

Thanks for the clarification; you guys are way better than the Chinese government. When it comes to information-sharing that is. I'm not familiar with your human rights record ...
