    i'm not even sure what he's talking about

    Okay 'cause I saw it and was like "What?" and then I stopped thinking about it because I didn't want to spoil something for myself because I have no clue what he's talking about either

    Who is it? Looks enough like her, I figured it was her with some tech thing on her hand.

    Also, Obama is totally going to hand Norman his ass.

    They used Bush a lot of times, even if it was just as correspondence. If I remember right it was a letter from Bush that gave General Ross permission to use any means necessary to bring down the Hulk during WWH.

    Have you read the trade where he's living in Seattle?

    That shit cracked me up.

    It ends with a fight on fucking Mount Rainier. It's like a fucking Highlights book, picking out all the Seattle landmarks.

    Yeah, the distinction here seems to be an inordinate amount of onscreen time given to the Pres...I think Ghost is right in that if you just counted the panels containing G.W., you wouldn't come up with much.

    Probably it's just a lot of fun to draw Obama.

    The one where he fights that Japanese archer chick? The Longbow Hunters, I think it was called. Yeah, it was pretty good, if unintentionally funny at times.

    The Green Arrow stuff that Mike Grell wrote back in the eighties is all pretty good.
