No criticisms or complaints or anything. Looks cool and clearly took a lot of work.

I think one important topic in the sidekick discussion is whether a sidekick character is being trained to replace the main hero one day. I'm thinking specifically of Barry Allen and Kid Flash. Because Barry still has fans (notably, among the writers at DC) Wally has to play second fiddle now, even ...

[QUOTE=das_boot]Now I'm just waiting for the Dark Phoenix Opera. With a disco interlude from Dazzler. I imagine it'll be similar to the scene in The Fifth Element.  [/QUOTE]Don't even kid. A Dark Phoenix opera would be incredible. Heck, I'd write it myself if I though I had a ghost of a chance of ge...

[QUOTE=Douglas Mangum]Finished Cryptonomicon. I enjoyed the book thoroughly, with the exception of the ending. And that's because there wasn't one. It just basically... stopped. Plot threads that were important before are not really resolved and, instead, the plot of the last 200 pages is unrelated ...

I never made it to A Lion Among Men, but in my opinion Son of a Witch was a complete waste of time. Not only did I not care about the characters or the things which happened to them, it seemed like they didn't care about themselves. The entire novel just felt aimless; I kept expecting some kind of c...

[QUOTE=manuel_mc89]I also just finished reading "A Hundred Years of Solitude", and it was good, really good i might add, and i read somewhere taht Gabriel Garcia Marquez even likes the english translation better than his spanish version, wich is odd, but its on the reliable wikipedia, has any of you...

[QUOTE=Gibbering Fool][QUOTE=marhawkman]I think we need a new Thunderbolts-esque X-Team.  A group who isn't really around to do important stuff but is a group to learn to help others.[/QUOTE]   Taking what you said, I think they could take Dark X-men and mold it into a Thunderbolts style X-Book.  It...

Although it definitely isn't on the "Wishbone" list, I decided to take a crack at Alison Bechdel's autobiographical tragicomic, "Fun Home". It was almost impossibly good. Bechdel weaves a narrative out of the events of her life and her father's life without imposing any sort of awkward framework or ...

Maybe I'm just a Ruskije snob, but Anna Karenina is one of my favorite books. For me it struck the perfect balance between thoughful and thought-provoking, as opposed to Tolstoy's other work which is either incomprehensibly philosophical or pointlessly moralistic. I've been trying get through Arthur...

[QUOTE=medium13]I also second that the Thing has become Marvel's token "Joe Hetero".[/QUOTE]
You sure about that?

[QUOTE=Crutey Anth]absolutely, any chance of the list of Wishbone books? [/QUOTE] I'm sorry, I can't tell: are you asking for a list of the books featured on Wishbone? Because I'm working directly off of the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wishbone_episodes I'm crawling ever clo...

[QUOTE=marhawkman]Is it wrong that I like Bloodstorm better?[/QUOTE]
Yes. Yes it is. Now you have to join the teenage girls at the Twilight table. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!

1. Although I hate the way his powers read in-book, I would love to have the abilities Darwin, because I suck at planning ahead, and being adaptable seems fitting, somehow. 2.

[QUOTE=JanO]Can we start a Skids appreciation society??? Like "Go Sally Go!!!"?[/QUOTE]
Not until she ditches that ridiculous code name. Seriously.

Don't know if anyone else is into literature about Asian Americans, but I just read two books that really spoke to me in regards to the Asian American experience. The first was Shortcomings by Adrian Tomine, a graphic novel, while the other was Part Asian, 100% Hapa a book of portraits of half Asian...

[QUOTE=Michiru]I'm getting into The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory.  This surprises me, as Gregory irritates the historian in me by not only getting many of her facts wrong, but trying to pretend they're right and going on public record saying so even when she's been proven wrong by a dozen o...

[QUOTE=marhawkman]Okay....  My point though is that raising a family in your 20s isn't unrealistic.  Less common, in certain parts of the world, but not unrealistic.   For a fun anecdotal thing, one of my buddies in high school got married to his high school sweetheart as soon as they'd both graduat...

[QUOTE=Survivor19]It'd be nice and logical for X-Men and X-Women to start creating the new generations of mutants the old way. It strikes me as the most rational thing - because, frankly, Beast's talk of "not enough genetic material to reproduce" is a gibberish in this case. Because mutants are just...

I just finished reading Евге́ний Оне́гин (Yevgeniy (or Eugene, I've seen it both ways ) Onegin) by A. Pushkin for Russian class. It was really fantastic, and I would definitely suggest it; even in translation, it's an intriguing work. It's a novel in verse that really exemplifies the ...

[QUOTE=Magnetolives2]I am thinking about starting 1984 very soon. Would anyone suggest otherwise? [/QUOTE]
 
I'd definitely suggest that you try it. It's not really a fun read, but it is thought-provoking.

I'm being forced to read Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway  for my lit. class right now. Maybe it's just because I'm reading it for school, but for some reason I'm finding this novel both interminably long and mind-numbingly dull.


I look forward to reading for pleasure again.

I thought this crossover was a total train wreck. To be fair, any story which prominently features Stryfe, Cable and Apocalypse is bound to be unbearable. Believe it or not, there are actually some things about popular culture from the 90s that I don't obssess over. Maybe if the main villain had bee...

Oh, please, Chrisstopher. You're acting more bipolar than Drew Barrymore in Mad Love. Make up your mind, already!
