life ends at 27
After pussyfooting and thunder and fury in equal portions, it’s over. How much does it suck to be in Curbishley and Tevez’s shoes right now when they KNOW they’re surrounded by utter mong twats? The game probably summed up Tottenham’s season to a T, thorough and thorough….that’s how tragicomic and surreal it all seemed. Lasagnagate, RIP?
BEST GAME OF THE SEASON.
(Are there any teams in the EPL with worse defences, though? [:P])
When the ballerina says FAR OUT(tm), you know you’re skipping along the bright rainbow…
Loose Change just got pwn3d. HARD.
P.S: His Imperial Highness is SUCH a hit with kids.
Yes, it was the comics equivalent of a black hole, in case this is your first year into reading stuff from the Big 2.
The sad, sad situation of DC trying their mega-event sales pitch is the same response from Marvel (the trifecta of House of M, Civil War and [later]World War Hulk), and bhoi, was the execution FUBARed totally. With House of M, at least it was a simple concept structured correctly and decently plotted, albeit somewhat of a pointless exercise. CW, on the other hand, is a massive clusterfuck that shits on decades on characterization (or more bluntly, assassination) and doesn’t even give the reader the courtesy of a proper payoff. There’s also the salient fact that Spidey might really have jumped the shark as a concept, and there’s the unpalatable suggestion of YET another hammed-up ressurection down the line.
If someone had told me 6-7 months ago that Marvel could fuck up worse than DC did with ICrisis, I would have shaken my head sadly and patronized the talking loon. There’s really no sugar-coating it, unless WWH does massive retconning or our favorite green basher rends our new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D limb from limb, we’ll looking at a box full of turds here. Ironically, the gravy-train that DC launched (and what probably invoked CW as a response), 52, is doing reasonably well as a vehicle that’s refreshingly Supes, Bats or Diana free. Pretty decent fare, by normal DC or Marvel standards, that is. Folks are not exactly expecting Ross+Waid, merely hoping for a better effort than SHIT-.
P.S: I certainly wouldn’t want to the person screening Millar’s “fan” mail. Maybe Bush can appoint him Director of Comics Affairs?
P.P.S: Don’t read Frontline unless you like the idea of Cap being pissed upon, to add insult to injury. Well done, Marvel.
