Sass

Sass you deserve to be on the list but I was only talking about the guys I joke around alot with on the board. Oh, I realize this and was being facetious. ::hides back tears:: I haven't been online much over the last year or so but with the new year here I plan on changing that. Also, I don't think mods/admins should be made members since we're already "established" like it was with the original group. It's time that some new blood be recognized.

I'm saddended that he left me off his list of names. If the ESTABLISHMEMT~! is going to be brought back, then I agree that there should be a new roster with about 11 or so folks on it. Fuck the round numbers.

I concur.

Brian, where were you the whole time man?

Marvel had better ensure that Whedon has an entire year's worth of stories penned because otherwise this could blow up in their faces big-time (ala Kevin Smith and his late work).

Jesse gets better and better each time whenever he churns out a column like this. Marvel politics in the 90's would make wrestling fans cringe at how disorganized and greedy they all were (to which they still are to a lesser degree).

The year started off badly for me and continued that way past the half way mark. But things have managed to turn out well here towards the end as I prepare to become a father for the first time. Happy holidays everyone.

Calvin and Hobbes use to be the first thing I would read in the comics section each morning when I would get up to have breakfast.

Tried it in a one-short (or mini-series), it turns out he was innocent. Somehow he escapes it and Superheros can't kill because their heroes, their not murderers, they don't want to be like the people they put away in Jail. He was put in Iron Heights too already, remember the The Last Laugh Saga where Joker thought he was going to die. Now almost every villian in DC wants to kill him. He's has to be put in Arhkam for protection....or Alaska. I read the Flash ish but I did not know the Joker was incarcerated in Iron Heights.

Iron Man. The Sub-Mariner has also managed to hold his own against the Hulk when they've fought one-on-one but each fight ended in a no-contest.

You're not going to waste any more bandwith here Eagan. I apologize to anyone else in this thread who was having a discussion.

From now on Eagan, there will be a scorched earth policy towards your actions. The threads you start will either be closed or deleted. If people want wrestling theme songs they can use one of the multi-media programs.

You broke the promise you had made to Zach earlier about never posting at TSM again Eagan. Now you're banned. Good bye.

"And all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

Rippanater was my first official banning at TSM. So yeah, I banned him. ^ Heh, I always wanted to use that icon.

Personally, I never cared for spam. Or spammers for that matter.

... oh wait. that was supposed to be funny! ha.ha.ha. Can Someone move it to Hardcore D. so I can tear this guy a new one please? Consider it done.

Agreed. If comics would use the Joker more sparingly (ala Thanos) than I wouldn't have as much of a problem with him getting off from the death penalty. But over the last 4 or so years he has managed to make an apperance in a comic about every other month and after he gets captured for about the 27th time, it starts to become reduntant (and irritating). Of course the Joker "get's his" every now and then (see end of No Man's Land) but it rarely has any long-term value since that would just hinder the character (as well as the writers).

New X-Men is the one I am anticipating the most. FF could also be a sleeper since this issue will wrap up the latest storyline (which has been really good). Ultimate Six has sucked donkey balls so far and I am not looking forward to this next issue. Ultimate Spider-Man is in desperate need of something "big" happening because the book has been spinning it's wheels since the Venom storyline. Batman Adventures #9, $2.25 Daredevil #55, $2.99 Fantastic Four #508 (#79), $2.25 New X-Men #150, $3.50 Ultimate Six #5 (Of 7), $2.25 Ultimate Spider-Man #51, $2.25

He's escaped death because none of the super heroes he has encountered were able to kill him (for whatever the reason). He does keep escaping the death penalty because he has been shown to be insane. I did not know Bane was at Iron Heights. Last I knew he was still on the loose and was nowhere near Keystone which would have brought him into conflict with the Flash (and Iron Heights). Putting the Joker in Iron Heights for a one-shot where he is waiting to be transferred to Arkham could be interesting. Yep. I'm not sure "mentally ill" covers what is inside the Joker's head though. While it's possible, I doubt it. The Joker has killed a *lot* of people but I wouldn't suggest he has already reached the 7 digit range. Even comics have to keep some barriers between "realism" and "escapism" since killing a million or so people would be even radical for the Joker within the confines of comic book "law". You would think that someone would have finished the Joker (ala New Jack City style) after he is being escorted out of the court house or something to that effect. Of course he would probably survive the attack and be better by next month's issue. I don't want to see Batman beat the Joker. Only because comics have this tendency to kill off the good characters and replace them with 3rd rate knock-offs who are supposed to be "the next big bad guy." I'd rather leave the "end" scenarios up to the imagination rather than seeing them printed as the definitive way the guy ends up. It will always end up being a disappointment (except on rare occaisions) since the story does not follow what fanboy Joe had planned. This is why I am not a big fan of these types of discussions. It's cool to hear what some other people think. Chances are I'll probably change my scenario from above if I think about it some more later on down the line.

Happy birthday Zack. Make sure you tip the hookers I send you. Birthday n0ggin doesn't come cheap.

Post the fish pic Dutch. That way whenever you look at it you know you'll be awake.

Teke's reviews are one of the best on the net today that I can find. Everyone is doing themselves a disservice by not reading his work.

Was he the one that had Tony Stark be control by Kang and then Tony was replaced by himself as a teen? Yes.

The Hulk Trilogy. It takes place in Iron Man #131 to #133. It is easily one of Iron Man's best fight's and a strong contender for best fight ever in a comic book.
