    Heh. I was just having an extensive Namor vs Aquaman argument with my brother in law, who is very much a DC fan. I totally agree with you. Aquaman has previously been blond, Namor is dark haired. Aquaman was a joke for decades, Namor never has been. I could easily see Momoa as Namor...

    If they are staying with any variant of the script the test footage was based on (which they apparently are, as Colossus will be in it, and he is not connected to Deadpool in any of the comics) then she is playing Vanessa (Copycat). However, she is just Vanessa- the script does not have her...

    Doesn't piss me off at all- did not mean it to seem that way. I just found it a surprising assertion given the body count the show has had. There have been no rumors of any of those characters returning, while it was known before he was 'killed' that Merlin was coming back. Still possible of...

    Unfortunately I cannot do that due to GI health issues, according to my doctors. My GP actually wants me to reduce my meat intake dramatically. Which sucks, as I have lost huge amounts of weight on no-dairy Atkins in the past, which isn't that different from Paleo.

    Seriously? Oliver Queen's mother was murdered on screen, as was the Canary. His father killed someone and then blew his own head off. And Tommy Merlin died on screen as well. And Shado. And Shado's father was killed too. Those are just off the top of my head. Can you name any other super...

    Hey folks. I noticed nobody has posted here in a bit. I'm trying to lose weight (no luck so far) and spent over a week just eating lo fat sandwiches on wheat bread. On all whole grains, so no more fresh pasta (whole wheat pasta with no semolina is not right, IMO- I am very classical in my...

    More news- Doug Jones, who played Abe Sapien in the Hellboy movies and the Silver Surfer in FF II (not the voice- that was Fishburne) will be appearing as Deathbolt in Arrow later this season...

    So do folks think Jerome on Monday's Gotham is the future Joker? If it isn't, then it's wasted casting. The dude was terrifying.

    More TV coming- Jim Starlin has signed a TV deal for Dreadstar. Unlike Thanos, which he also created, the author owns this one. http://www.newsarama.com/23556-thanos-creator-signs-tv-deal-for-dreadstar.html

    Not that long ago I'd have agreed with you. But Google Spideypool before you decide Spidey completely sucks. Without him we wouldn't have the most entertaining slash fic and art since Spock/Kirk. And we would not have Venom. Who is awesome, at least to look at. But Batman kicks Spidey's...

    NOOOOOO! Marvel has announced a major retconn for when their universe resets. They are redoing the origin of the Infinity Gauntlet, and they are not having Jim Starlin, the original writer and the creator of Thanos, do the writing, despite his having written another Thanos Infinity...

    What am I working on tonight in the Vapor Lab?

    Moebius (Jean Giraud) was definitely a great artist, but I prefer Kirby for the Surfer and Galactus. This one is a personal favorite - have a print of it in my office (as well as a 19" Galactus action figure with a tiny Surfer).

    What am I working on tonight in the Vapor Lab?

    Lovecraft I get not having heard of. Lots of folks have no idea who H.P. Lovecraft was. But you seriously have not heard of Jack Kirby? Maybe under his real name, Jacob Kurtzberg? or his nickname, King Kirby? Sorry for the shocked reaction, but I have never met an artist before who did not...

    Valentine's Day Sucks

    On the one hand, my Russian Mongol grandmother was drunk (and chain smoking) her entire 93 year life. Was out dancing the night before she died. And my Romanian gypsy great-grandmother lived to 87 constantly drinking slivovitz and smoking foul little cigars. On the other hand, neither me nor...

    I'm not sure I buy this, but allegedly drinking a glass of red wine is the equivalent of an hour of exercise. Like I said, not sure I buy it, but I hope it's true. http://www.bustle.com/articles/41340-drinking-a-glass-of-red-wine-is-the-same-as-getting-an-hour-of-exercise-says

    What am I working on tonight in the Vapor Lab?

    Though the style is different, the content (cosmic dreamer) reminds me of both Lovecraft and Jack Kirby's 'cosmic' work. The face could even be the Surfer.
