Okay...here is an off the wall question (or food for thought):
How many heroes are divorced when compared to how many villains are divorced? And for that matter, how many villains even get married versus how many heroes do? Is the act of being a hero detrimental to a marriage? And if that is the case...doesn't that kind of go against heroism in its more existential form?

I understand the need to rebag but why don't you just recycle the old ones? They are recyclable. Even when you recycle plastic, you have to ask yourself: 1. How does your city actually "recycle" it?, and 2. What environmental damage is done in the initial manufacturing of the product Recycling is always a great idea, but it doesn't completely neutralize the impact of buying that much plastic. So then...why rebag?

Anyone else dying to pull out the colored pencils and go to town on this picture? Yes! Byrne actually just released a coloring book with original story and art. I NEED IT! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!

One of my favorite Woman in Comics has always been Gail Simone who did Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Birds of Prey, and Secret Six and currently working with Dynamite Comics recently doing a major relaunch of Red Sonja, Vampirella, and Dejah Thoris for 2016 that includes new costumes and working with artist Nicola Scott in that project overseeing it altogether. Looking forward in reading it someday. The only problem I have with Red Sonja is that she is still construed as a sex symbol. She is strong and powerful. She is smart and beautiful. But for a character with a history and backstory like hers you would think she would dress more...properly. I'm not necessarily talking modestly...but as a proper WARRIOR would. With armour that would actually protect her. She is drawn to still be a sex symbol.

True but all that paper/cardboard for standard boards has to come from somewhere too... -M Paperboard doesn't have the same level of environmental impact, but yes. Yeah. Trees. 100% renewable resource. And most paper and cardboard manufacturers are upping their recycled percentage in their products now due to incentives from the government. Cardboard backings are great as long as you do a little research into the company to check their replanting policies. The plastic ones are great if you are a serious collector but for general public not needed so much.

Cool concept, but I assume they're plastic? I already hate how much I screw the environment every time I rebag I understand the need to rebag but why don't you just recycle the old ones? They are recyclable.

I just bought Marvel Avengers 41 through 55. Can't wait to get into a full story Arc.

What about asking for tidbits on characters? Like does anyone know why Power Girl has a serious Jones for diet soda? Anyone have some cool insider information on Wonder woman or Amanda Waller?

When I was about 5 my mother took my older sister and I to see the wrath of Khan at the movie theater. We freaked out so bad at the earwig scene she had to take us home.
I've been hooked on sci-fi ever since.

My E2 counterpart went to college directly after high school. She studied at NYU and went into film school. Upon graduation she was picked up for a small movie where she began as the assistant director but during an accident on set the director had to drop out. She immediately took her shot and took over production and garnered a Cannes film fest best movie award. This launched an illustrious career in film where she met and married her husband...Billy Zane. They have 2 beautiful children together and live on a horse ranch in Montana when not filming.

Wonder Woman went off planet and became a slave for a bit before taking them down and returning as a kick ass heroine.

Maybe the only villains who are really evil for the sake of being evil would be the ones like Marvel's Mephisto who more or less embody the Judaeo-Christian concept of metaphysical Evil. Even Loki in Norse mythology, even though he was instrumental in bringing about Ragnarok, can be seen from another POV as also an instrument of change and renewal and therefore not simply Evil. I always felt for Loki. Being #2 to Thor his whole life. Never receiving as much love or attention...he would have followed Thor to the end of the universe and back if only he was treated as if he wasn't the spare. Was he evil? No. Was he a villain? I would still say no.

I think she means the volume 3 Kurt Busiek Avengers. Never read them myself, but I'm a big fan of the original Kang Wars during the Steve Englehart era. Ah OK, that makes sense. I was thinking that I don't remember Kang being in those issues, much less a Kang War story arc, but it's been a long time since I read them. Disregard everything I've said on the matter, Outrajs. Or how about this...I can take what you said regarding the books you thought I was talking about! See...no harm done and you saved me from a bad series read!
