"With Bifrost, I went with the pronunciation that didn't sound like English. Little me didn't know exactly what Vikings spoke, but he was pretty sure it wasn't English.
With Sub-Mariner, I took my cue from an early issue where Roy Thomas had some…"

"The movies pronounced it "the Buy-Frost," so you were on the money, I pronounced it more or less the second way. (biff-RAWST), and hang my head in shame."

"But a driven detective in a city that's falling apart? Any city can have one of those. 
Good point. And a prime example of that is The Question (Vic Sage flavor). In the Denny O'Neil/Denys Cowan series, he operated in Hub City, which was violent and…"

"I don't doubt you're correct, Dave. But I still call it poor design. Note that on the two flags in your example the colors aren't the same, nor are they in the same order. You'd have to memorize the colors and the order, since they don't represent…"

"Y'all talked me out of Crumb's Genesis, and back into it again. Just call me Captain Wishy-Washy.
SPECTRE: THE WRATH OF THE SPECTRE OMNIBUS HC: I have this already, and it's a great book...

I went back and re-read…"

"I have a hunch your hunch is correct.
Bifrost is one of those words that, having only read it, I mispronunced until I heard it in a Marvel movie. The list of such words, I'm afraid, is rather lengthy."

"It was so amazingly bad, one wonders what the thinking was. "We must make sure the readers know he's gay," maybe. Or "This is what gay people are like," maybe. I really can't imagine. I don't think professionals would deliberately offend any part of…"

"I was online earlier and read Travis's comment. I was going to refute it then, but figured "Why be contrary?" I've read it twice and really enjoyed it. I didn't read it recently when I was reading a bunch of Bible-related comics, but only because I…"

" I know some people love this book, and I can see why, but it feels a bit on the silly side to me.  ("Dead End Kid" Voice)  "Dat's me!" "Silly" is kind of the  point for me, not being such a serious-minded, strait-laced fellow as yourself."

"That's the only "Cosmic Odyssey" I know of, and I can't remember mentioning it recently (or ever). I mean, it was okay, but but I'm sure you've read it...?
Yes, and dismissed it instantly. Then I THOUGHT I read somewhere that you really liked it.…"
