"The last story is the only one that really seemed to have a good point. The first one was just shock value and the second too short. The third was OK, but not EC level."
"The other "Deadpool" comic book I bought was a reprint of New Mutants #98 (the character's first appearance), but I have never been able to bring myself to read it.

"ANIMAL POUND #5:
I do so love it when satire is so topical and so spot-on that the publisher feels the need to print a disclaimer that the issue was written and drawn before the advent of recent events."

"I just found out that the new "Absolute" universe is going to be "gritty." I'm now less enthusiastic than I was. C'mon, DC! It's been 40 years. Learn a new tune.
While we still have a couple of weeks until the kick-off, I thought I'd mention another…"

"I'll give the nod this week to AHOY! Comics' election-themed Justice Warriors OGN."
"RED HOT & COOL:
Before returning to my task of listening to all of my $1 sets (the next on is going to take a while to get through), I would like to take a look at one of my favorite jazz albums in my collection, Red Hot & Cool by Dave Brubeck and…"

"ISSUE #11:
The cover of this "spy-era" issue is very Steranko-esque. Stone's assistant (page one, panel one) is "Nick Fury." Is S.T.O.R.M. supposed to be Stormwatch, or is it just a stand-in for S.H.I.E.L.D? I suspect "The Last Shot" is named for…"

"Episode 940 is the one I was waiting for (one of two, actually), the one in which Quentin explains why he thought he was Grant Douglas. The explanation he gives is that he is a writer and "Grant Douglas" is one of his pseudonyms. That explanation…"
