    Yeah, kind of. What they're implying is that superheroes don't make it their business to stop crime and mayhem at the source, just contain and clean it up. Even Batman never hunted down his enemies.

    Not even Joker.

    Because they're criminals. How the hell are you supposed to pin them down until they pop up? Search every building in every city? It's not like they use credit cards.

    Hal is saying that they should. Fucking manhunt.
    Batman is dead. It's about time to start.

    Batman does hunt for the Joker when he escapes, though. He has detailed psychological profiles of his entire rogues gallery and places they're likely to go upon escaping.

    Agreed. It should have been someone less experienced and more head-fucked like Jason Todd.

    FF: Dark Reign #4 preview.

    Those were clever pages, especially the last one.

    Although I guess Val, on top of being a genius, has now been bumped up to be about a year younger than Franklin to accommodate scenes like this one?

    Also, there are some pretty cool uses of telepathy in the next Legacy.

    Not to sound like an asshole Faynor but I think you meant Messiah "War". Also I'm a bit confused as to how this whole event will be collected. Marvels official solicit says X-MEN: THE TIMES AND LIFE OF LUCAS BISHOP #1-3, CABLE #11-15, X-FORCE #14-16, X-FORCE/CABLE: MESSIAH WAR and X-MEN: FUTURE HISTORY - MESSIAH WAR SOURCEBOOK. Amazon says Cable #13-15, X-Force #14-16, and Messiah War one-shot. Also Amazon has a hardcover coming out July 29 that contains the stuff not mentioned in their Messiah War solicit but is in the Marvel one. Even with the hideous Stroman art I'd prefer the Marvel solicit if only to justify the 40 dollar price tag.

    But even The Bat doesn't catch people in their hideout before they do anything.

    Yes, you're right, I meant War.

    You asshole!

    No, but anyways, does The Times and Life even really talk about his current direction, or is it strictly origin? I'm not sure why they'd include it if it's the latter.

    I think Times and Life is official canon. It's also notable for having a baby in it that looks EXACTLY like the baby from Eraserhead.

    That's not always the case, and when it is the case it's because it's a necessary element for an interesting story.

    I think Pym's plan for breaking into the Baxter Building is pretty clever and a good way of showcasing his intelligence. Having Jocasta tell him how wonderful he is and then make out with him while sticking out her robot ass, however, is not. If we had more of the former and less of the latter, we might start to like him.

    Everytime I see the name Jocasta, I imagine it being pronounced by a stereotypical 90s hispanic west-coast gang member, like you'd see in Falling Down or Predator 2.

    Of course, his reason for breaking into the baxter building in the first place is to satisfy some petty personal feud with Reed Richards. I honestly have no idea why these people are even following Hank Pym. I wouldn't make an enemy out of the FF4 just because Pym wants me to.

    Anyway, he can make stuff smaller, right? Couldn't he just shrink all the shit in his lab and transport it out of the pocket dimension? And if that doesn't work, he can transport it to the microverse, right? It's basically what he intends to do with the gizmo Goliath made.

    No, but basically everything done with the X-Men in the last... let's say 3 or 4 years is. Besides New X-Men when it was good for that short time, of course.

    CBR preview of Won Ton Soup 2

    Won Ton Soup 1 is one of my favorite books ever. It is kind of a space trucker Iron chef in Space slacker starts to "man up" stoner comedy thing, with the most awesomely warped art ever.

    Won Ton Soup 2 apparently starts off with the protagonists getting wicked stoned on alien memory dust and tripping the hell out or something. I'm no stoner, but Stokoe draws weird shit really, really well.

    Here is a... directory? with more of his work. totally awesome stuff in there, including some comically nsfw (dongs) stuff-- the Orc Stain thing-- which is a project in development, seems to involve Orks taking cocks as trophies or talismans or something.

    Amazing Spider-Man #598 Preview

    Spider-Man was captured, but apparently NORMAN OSBORN didn't think to take off his mask. Either it's magic or a gross oversight.

    Classic Spider-Man villains to start returning around #600 with Spider-Man: The Gauntlet.

    Also, Dark Wolverine is a huge dick.

    I may actually have to pick this up. Camuncoli's art is slick as Hell when inked and colored right, and those pages look great. Plus, Daniel Way's impressed me lately with Deadpool, and Marjorie Liu's Nyx issues were pretty good.

    I'm honestly considering dropping it around the time the old villains return, and switching to UC Spider-Man or Marvel Adventures Spidey.

    I'm probably going to stick it through the return of mary jane arc, and then jump ship right afterward. The book can be great sometimes, but the end of the recent arcs seem to all be easy-outs, and I'm betting this American Son story will conclude with the same sort of non-ending.
