"Chip Zdarsky told a story in the first five issues about Cap right out of the ice (moved up considerably from 1964), which I did not read.
I read it, and I liked it at the time. I took it as a reboot, but I'm having second thoughts about it now. I…"

"It features the villain group 3K,
They should call themselves "Mutant Special Team 3000", I'm sure that there'd be a good initialism for that."

NO. 1: MARVEL COMICS
IMPERIAL
As I said with Nova: Centurion last week, I'm on the fence on the titles emerging from Jonathan Hickman's "Imperial." In fact, I somehow missed Black Panther: Intergalactic #1 and Planet She-Hulk #2,…

"I've mentioned The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
There it is! I must've brushed right past it, paying more attention to what you said about Stranger and Starship Troopers.
Sorry 'bout that!"

"I've mentioned The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. If one was selecting a single Heinlein to read, it would be a good choice. It has enough to sustain it, despite dated elements.
The Stars My Destination is definitely worth reading. It's a facinating…"

"Back in the '90s I was a frequent member of the Science Fiction Book Club. I would get my free selections, fulfil my obligation, lather, rinse, repeat. that is where I got the short story collection Adventures in Time and Space, for example. I…"
"The fact that a certain billionaire named his AI "Grok" is telling, isn't it?"
"The Songs of Distant Earth is pretty good Clarke."
"Heinlein: I've read Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers. I felt pretty much the same was about Strangers as Cap did, and that put me off Heinlein until the Starship Troopers movie came out. Then I read Starship Troopers only to discover…"
"Honestly, don't bother. The only three worth reading are the three I mentioned above that are written by the original author ("Richard Hooker," although I believe his real name is Hornberger). The rest, "co-written" by William Butterworth, are crap.…"
"With Clarke, I've read 2001, 2010, 2061 and 3001.
With Heinlein, I've read Job: A Comedy of Errors and Starship Troopers. "

"Stranger in a Strange Land was a big deal when it came out, but it doesn't hold up at all for me. Starship Troopers is hugely influential, whatever the politics are supposed to be (a thorny issue with the oft-controversial Heinlein). Some of his YA…"
"I mentioned somewhere else that I read all the Star Trek books until, probably the mid-'90s. There were exactly four Star Trek books for a decade after the show went off the air: The Making of Star Trek, The World of Star Trek, Spock Must Die! and…"
"I read the first M*A*S*H novel, because my brother had it. I enjoyed it, but enjoyed the movies and TV show more, so that book series faded from my to-do list. I might enjoy it more as an adult."
"That's a good addition. I didn't read those when I read the rest of the canon, probably because they weren't on the paperback racks at the time. (I remember seeing some Executioner books, and similar, which didn't interest me.) It might have been…"
"The other two of the "Big 3" SF writers when I was growing up (after Asimov) were Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein.
I know I read these Clarke books:
Childhood's End (1953): Mankind has to take a leap forward. It made a lot of sense and even…"

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)?
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.
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.
Will do1

i'm happy that she is such a good student, tell her hello for me.
Happy Birthday, Captain! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you, Captain Comics.
