"If the plan was that Linda was NEVER to be adopted, why put her in an orphanage? Was she supposed to sabotage any effort until she turned eighteen?
I think we got into that a little bit in the DC Finest: Supergirl thread. The adoption process was…"
"Oh, I meant a permanent one, that I seem to remember explaining all the kryptonite. Well, maybe I was thinking of this one and it grew in my mind over the years."
"(although, frankly, they don't seem like the type to take the orphan's feelings into consideration.)
As we've discussed before, the adoption process as shown in Silver Age Supergirl stories was horrendous."
"THE COLD WITCH: A TALE OF THE SHROUDED COLLEGE #1 - This might be great, but simply this descprtion: John Wick — with zombies. Makes me think, "Nah, I can pass on this.
INVINCIBLE UNIVERSE: BATTLE BEAST #1 - I mean he was fine in Invincible, but he…"
"Cap, the first DCU character who's encountered the Absolute Universe is Booster Gold, right as the universe launched. We haven't seen him since, as far as I know. And I've heard that Absolute Martian Manhunter has been so well received it's been…"
""The Day Superman Married Lana Lang!" by Jerry Siegel and Kurt Schaffenberger (cover story) - "A Brand-New 'Imaginary' Story!" This one shifts the emphasis from Lois to Lana. (For details see the "Imaginary Stories on Infinite Earths" thread.) It…"
"I haven’t read the Marvel Fanfare story in decades... Marvel probably thinks it better to run something new and current...
I was referring to Fantastic Four Fanfare #1, which came out last week.
"It's a pretty lightweight story with so many coincidences and plot holes that it seems petty to list them. And I still hate Streaky's cartoon eyes.
I will say that when I was a kid I'd question some of the use of super-powers that seemed…"
""Here's another souvenir, Jimmy -- a fast-acting poison from another planet with no earthly antidote. I'll just put it here on the table and leave." "
"These are all great questions!
If Superman was always planned to go on a space mission, why go with Jimmy and Lois to the West Indies? Why not just stay in Metropolis or say he's going someplace else?
Add this to the list of reasons Clark Kent…"
"DC: ALL IN 2025 SPECIAL EDITION #1: This is a flip book. The front side is Superman Unlimited and the flip side is an overview of the "Absolute" universe. I found Rafael Albuquerque's to be so unappealing I had to force myself to finish it.
It…"
"If anybody has any books they'd like to comment on, I'll gladly join in.
I should be able to knock this out pretty quick. As I mentioned above, my LCS had a limit of three, which i abided by and didn't go anywhere else.
DC: ALL IN 2025 SPECIAL…"
"And yet, it's large enough to accomodate "rocket-ship" travel. Even the size of the tweezers is problematical, AFAIAC. … I think they must be very, very small, and the bottle itself provides a magnifying distortion effect which enlarges one small…"
After all these years, that's all I get, "Welcome aboard" ? Geez, it's not like I've only know you longer than any human on this planet outside my siblings. Seriously, I hope all is well. Speaking of siblings, how's Clyde, Bethany and Persilla (sp?)? Hal, Randy and Karen (mine) are still alive and kicking. I hope you're doing OK. My life has been eventful, good and bad. You must be in hog heaven with all the movies finally able to match people's imagination with the CGI and all. Every time I go to one or read a comic, I can't help but think of you, old friend. Yes, you're living rent free in my skull. Stop it. Stop it now...damn, didn't work. I live in Charleston, SC. Great place. Come visit...or else...
Hulk now part of army of Hulks. A-Bomb, Red-Hulk, She-Hulk, Red She-Hulk, Paisley She-Hulk, Hulkcetera. Hulk in big-budget movies. Hulk on red carpets. Hulk's introversion clearly a ploy to get attention.

I have one scheduled for week after next. What's up?
Are you going to write an article on the show Cloak & Dagger, which debuts June 7 on the Freeform cable channel (formerly ABC Family)?

Hulk still not sure about this social media stuff, kinda defeats the whole purpose of being an introvert, if you ask Hulk...
Just received a spam message on my profile page from someone named Frank David asking me to invest in his gold mining business.
