  1. who has lots of bodily hair...like GEORGE STEEL
  2. The cool part about DS9 was that it was much darker and was more character driven. Not that TNG was less, but the DS9 characters were much more different when compared to each other.
  3. Even better was the fact that the stories had great messages that were still strong and poignant even though it had bad acting and a low budget.
  4. I know, but due to Spidey's loner nature he just doesn't look right teaming up with the Avengers or F4.
  5. Don't get me started on the Jack O' Lanterns.
  6. who was supposed to marry TEST
  7. Finch is one of those shitty emocore bands that are all the rage these days. I don't understand all the Disturbed hate. They are propably one of the best mainstream hard rock bands out there.
  8. DISTURBED and FINCH got into an onstage brawl at the Rolling Rock Town Fair in Latrobe, PA earlier today. The fight, which took place while FINCH were preparing to take the stage, was reportedly the culmination of an ongoing feud between the two bands stemming from an interview FINCH gave to MeanStreet magazine in late 2002. In that interview, FINCH guitarist Randy Strohmeyer said about DISTURBED singer David Draiman, "I'd shoot him in the fucking head. I'd rip his stupid little piercings out. They're just cheesy. It bums me out because their music is terrible, and what they're about, it's just shit. Hopefully all that music will die out soon, and hopefully it will make room for the good music." A posting at the FINCH web site regarding today's incident reads as follows: "To anyone who either witnessed or heard about today's incident at the Rolling Rock Town Fair. While we were setting up, one of the members of DISTURBED, [guitarist] Dan Donegan, was harassing us from the side of the stage. Before we were to play, Randy (our guitarist) walked over to Dan to explain that the comments he made a few years ago were a joke, and to give him a friendly handshake. Dan proceeded to assault Randy and DISTURBED's singer, David Draiman, attacked Mike Herrara (our drum tech), which caused a fight to ensue. We want everyone to know that FINCH did not start this fight. However, we do not take kindly to being assaulted or having our lives threatened. We would like this little conflict to be resolved as soon as possible, but we will not give in to bullying bands threatening us or our fans." -----from blabbermouth.net------ Good for the Distrubed guys. I wouldn't be to receptive of someone talking badly of me in a mgazine and then trying to suck up like everything's a joke.
  9. THAT would be amazing.
  10. I thought that a lot of the B-list heroes were appropriate, like the New Warriors, CLoak and Dagger, and Firestorm (although I would have loved if their other Amazing Friend Iceman stopped by).
  11. There have been too many people to use the Hobgoblin gimmick.
  12. I do agree that 2 Cold is quite underrated, but luckily he has had a certain degree of success overseas.
  13. That art is just sick. Very impressive.
  14. Can't beat those three sites.
  15. I think the bigget problem was that it was a bit pointless after it concluded. A major crossover about nothing. I didn't think there was anything really wrong with the story, but it was a perfect example of the ridiculously long and tangled crossovers of the 90s that were just designed to sell more books.
  16. From Yahoo.com... New Jersey continues to find ways to save money – this time through trading shooting guard Kerry Kittles to the Los Angeles Clippers for a future second-round pick and cash considerations. Two weeks ago, the Nets shipped All-Star power forward Kenyon Martin to Denver in a sign-and-trade for three first-round picks. Damn. They really want to suck it up this season. Kidd's going to demand a trade and Richardson will bolt.
  17. Go to Marveldirectory.com: http://marveldirectory.com/individuals/m/manthing.htm
  18. So Aquaman is biting off Namor?
  19. They actually teased a group like that called the Apocalypse or Armageddon with Regal, Malenko, Benoit, and Guerrero around 98 at a PPV. They actually got a good pop from the crowd, and Hogan canned the idea later that night.
  20. I like Batman, but the stories are either hit or miss. I loved Hush, and the one that followed up by Azzarello I just couldn't get into.
  21. D-Man is propably the lamest mentioned so far.
  22. Green Arrow spent the first half of his life as a Batman ripoff. Basically, Oliver Queen was a rich industrialite who was shipwrecked on an island where out of necessity he honed his archery skills (which he abandoned after being too petrified to shoot an elephant that wound up goreing his parents to death while they were on a safari). When he returned to Star City, he caught the super hero bug after stopping a pickpocket with a bow and arrow. Basically everything Batman did, he did. Arrowcave, arrowmobile, younger version in sidekick form. Fast foward to the mid/late 1970s, Arrow loses his fortune and business and becomes a hardcore liberal activist, going from city to city in stealth and fighting injustice and crime. He catches up with Green Lantern, whom he calls out as being out of touch with the world and the two go cross country fighting for the common man. These stories, by Denny ONeil and Art Adams are highly reccommended. All the while he's out helping people, he fails to help out his own former sidekick Speedy is now a heroin addict. Arrow and Lantern splits, and he spends the 80s - mid 90s as a vigilante, being chased by the government and others for becoming totally like Robin Hood, targeting corrupt businesses and government officials. Green Arrow winds up getting killed in an explosion in a plane over Metropolis. His son, Connor Hawke, assumes the mantle of the Green Arrow out of respect for the father he never knew. The original Green Arrow gets resurrected by Parallax (Hal Jordan) and fights to get his soul/memory back in the only good comic book project Kevin Smith has been involved with, Quiver. Green Arrow now spends his time continuing his fight against oppression, catching up with Speedy (who cleaned up and is now called Arsenal), getting to know his son Connor, and trying to fix all the things he did wrong in his life, like being a total womanizer. Green Arrow is basically a combination of Batman and Robin Hood. He's not a great A-list hero like Spider-Man and Batman, but anything but lame. I used to think Hawkman was lame, but the current series makes sense of hir origin in a cool way. Basically there was this Egyptian prince Khufu and his lover Chayra were killed and cursed by an evil priest that made them immortal via being in a cycle of being killed and reborn forever. The Hawk part comes from Thangarian Nth metal which can fly that the priest killed them over. As for a lame character, I'd have to say Aquaman.
  23. Piper would be great as a Raw commentater. Have him and JR do the first hour, and then sub in the King. Actually, they'd be an entertaining three man combo.
  24. I will defend the honor of Green Arrow and Hawkman. but after dinner. Very quickly, I'd just like to give a definition to the casual comic book reader that currently exists: • Don't necessarily care about back issues and purchasing everything. • Actively seek out Marvel's webcomics instead of getting a phyiscal copy. • More willing to pick up a trade at a bookstore or from the library. • Occasionaly pick up related merch. • Keep up to date with trends and such thanks to Wizard and the net.
  25. Supes has a greast set of villains, but he usually gets stuck with crappy ones.
