I loved comic books when I was a kid but I think by 5th or 6th grade I grew out of it.  For me they jumped the shark when my school handed out a Spiderman comic book about child sexual abuse awareness.  Just got weird at that point.

Spiderman as a kiddie diddler would certainly be an interesting direction for the franchise.  :hmm:

I like certain comic books but not most of them. I really dig stuff like Sandman or the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I like the new Secret Wars comic Marvel has started to put out.

I've read 2 volumes of the Avengers, I like it but sometimes I just think "I really don't need those drawings".

British rails also halted by strikes? Makes me feel like we should probably also strike. Just because.

There has to be a French strike as well or it will be a real loss of status!

I kept meaning to mention this but I forgot, but a week or two back I thought I saw Ank on facebook saying that he was going to be on Jepoardy. Did anyone else see this or did I imagine it?

I heard katmai was going to be on COPS again.

Only one of them has stated what they did was wrong.
