Please, no.

"Tonight...you'll be seeing a movie with...KANE!!!!!"

Wait...Galactus is dead? When the fuck did this shit happen?

I hate the way all of his characters talk like 16-21 year olds. Yeah, it worked fine in Ultimate Spiderman, but that was the last time. And I fucking hated Disassembled.

It should be noted that not everyone on that cover is probably going to appear in the issue. And where is this "History of the DC Universe" feature you people promised me??? Tomorrow, Issue #2, like advertised It was disappointing.

Anyone else seen this Amazing Spider-Man CD-ROM? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=books&n=507846 Its Adobe Acrobat pages of every "Amazing Spider-Man" comic up to issue #500, plus Amazing Fantasy #15, on 11 CD-ROMs. My wife bought it for me for Valentine's Day, and it just arrived today. They are original comics, with ads and everything, scanned as PDF files and in full color. I hope Marvel makes more of these. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have 501 comics to read.

While there is a point at which taxes can be too high as to stiffle economic growth, that point is NOT a 0% tax rate. Having a billionaire pay 40% while a minimum wage worker pays 5% may not seem fair to you, but you're forgetting about the 60% he does get to keep. That's still a shitload of money, and a helluva incentive to work hard. I don't think Bill Gates is going to wake up tomorrow and decide he isn't going to develop the next generation of software because he'll only make $300 million on it instead of $500 million.

You're a fucking idiot and you play an even bigger one on the board. You'd understand where I was coming from if you didn't practically live on another planet. Teachers that are more hung up on being in control rather than imparting any knowledge on their students are a waste of time. Ignorant classmates always pissed me off, but I was always silently, or not so silently, rooting for the insubordination crowd. I got along incredibly well with my teachers when they were good at their jobs. But for cases like my communications teacher, teaching a ridiculous curriculum that had a lot to do with "proactive mission statements" and emotional blackmail and all that 7 Habits shit, I always had to pull for the kids who would say "this course is bullshit and you suck" right in the middle of class. I never respected them as students or even as human beings outside those 45 minutes, but they spoke the truth, and that was insanely cool. Yeah they got kicked out of class for the duration of the semester and failed, but hey, it was cool. Bad teachers are a cancer. Yes, by all means, us teachers should just let kids do whatever they want. Nevermind the fact that we're actually government employees paid and entrusted to teach a curriculum mandated by the government in a school paid for with your parents' money. Dude, shut up.

When the lack of proof becomes the proof, you've got a problem with your argument.

Dude, your clever little retort doesn't even make any sense. Just get Reagan out of my face. Perhaps my use of sarcasm confused you, but I'm not going to lay down for your total lack of anything rational to say just because you want me to. Your "he didn't really win the Cold War" rant was completely irrelevant, and was also devoid of any factual information to support your opinion. The question was whether or not any leader since John Kennedy has been able to inspire the American people. Reagan did. Whether you agree with his policies or not, he did exactly what you're claiming hasn't been done. For someone who wasn't even old enough to wipe his own ass when Reagan was president, you sure seem to have a lot of hostility towards him. Well, let me tell you something, I actually remember what America was like before Reagan was president. And having Reagan as president was like a big national bottle of Tylenol to get rid of the headache that had been the 1970s. Sure, the Tylenol was over-priced and paid for with a maxxed out credit card, but that Tylenol was really needed. America in 1989 was a much better place than it was in 1980. And, right or wrong, Reagan's the one who go there. He reminded us how great we'd once been, and how much potential we had.

Good fences make good neighbors.

Want to know why? People like my mom, who used to watch Joan of Arcadia, but decided that they liked Ghost Whisperer as well because it's got that nice young Jennifer Love Hewitt in it and it has such feelgood endings to every episode. Happy endings are for pussies.

Spyke is in this?

How'd you get their numbers?

Thus begins internet argument #34070872 over semantics.

"Hi. Have we met?" Get that crap outta my face. Feel-good bandaids don't mean shit. Dude didn't end the Cold War either, so don't even try that. Way to use cold, hard logic to refute a point that I was actually even making. Bravo.

News to me. Got details? Yeah, this was on Newsarama a while back: "Asked about the overall run of 52, Wacker outlined the artists on the title: Joe Bennet (who will illustrate issues #1-#4) Ken Lashley, Chris Batista, Don Kramer, and Shawn Moll. And clarifying the back-up features that will appear in the series, Wacker said that following a 10-part history of the DCU in the first ten issues of the series, the next 40 issues will feature two page origin stories of the top 40 characters in the DCU, written by Waid, with art by a variety of artists." Jurgens is writing the "History of the DCU" piece. Care to revise this?

It should be noted that not everyone on that cover is probably going to appear in the issue. And where is this "History of the DC Universe" feature you people promised me???

To close a minor plot hole by creating a major one, evidently.

I wouldn't know...but would Kitty solidifying Juggernaunt inside solid concrete kill him? (I just always assumed her powers wouldn't work on him.)

I forgot to mention this earlier...did anyone else catch the "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" reference?

I've owned a few DVD recorders, but ended up taking them all back. One was an RCA, the other was a Magnavox, and the 3rd was a Panasonic. The most common problem is the machine has trouble formatting the disk after its done recording. I've never owned an RCA DVD player that I didn't have a problem with. They're junk. The Magnavox also had issues with encoding the data wrong so it would over-compress and the picture would be super-pixellated. I had a Panasonic for a week, but took it back because it was a pain in the ass to use, and didn't have the variety of recording speed options the other machines had.

You got it backwards. First of all, Reagan's support for the Civil Rights Act came after his opposition to it. Therefore, Reagan became more liberal on this issue. Second, Reagan refused to sign a bill that would have legalized abortion when he was governor of California. He continued to be pro-life into his presidency. No flip-flopping was involved. Third, have you ever heard or read 1964 the speech "A Time for Choosing"? Given 2 years before his election as governor, it was 100% Goldwater conservatism. The man who gave that speech would never have supported a missile treaty with the Soviet Union, government spending making up 23.5% of the GDP (a record high in 1983), or an MLK holiday. Early in his California governorship he had signed a permissive abortion bill. Afterward, he inaccurately blamed this outcome on doctors, saying that they had deliberately misinterpreted the law Any reference to this ever happening has been mysteriously erased from everything I've ever read on the man.
