Always RememberPosted by Dorian in Always Remember, Captain Marvel, DC, Mr. Tawky Tawny will own you
And lest anyone try to argue that this is somehow “out of character” for Mr. Tawky Tawny, remember, he once killed a guy with a stick. Disembowelment is practically polite of him.

Bit and PiecesPosted by Dorian in Always Remember, DC, Superman you asshole, men, subtext, vintage
I love those ellipses right before “cousin.” And Clark’s annoyed reaction followed by a quick save. Exactly how often does one of Clark’s fake “cousins” stop by the office? Reader Billy sends along yet another “Always Remember” picture. I like this one a lot, as it harkens back to one of the most wrong Legion of Super-Heroes stories ever written.
Yesterday was a rare Wednesday visit to the comic shop for me. It was worth it, as I got to witness Corey making the William Riker, Thomas Riker and Admiral Riker action figures kiss and talk of their sexual desire for one another’s beards. But not in a “gay” way, more in a hyper-masculine/border-line masturbatory way. It was the funniest thing I’d seen in months. Perhaps years. It is entirely possible you had to be there. I also flipped through The Road to Civil War: The New Avengers: The Illuminanti. It was…well, lots of talking heads interrupted briefly by a confusingly drawn action sequence. But my skepticism regarding the upcoming Civil War cross-over was increased because of one simple fact: when Namor is acting as the voice of reason, you know that something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. And, of course, bringing back the Beyonder and bringing back the Heroes Reborn world, can only be seen by rational minds as further evidence of that. Paul & Frank Probably not quite safe-for-work. But it amused me greatly, especially after some of the recent discussions I’ve seen on-line about “straight” men in gay porn, “straight-acting” men, and gay men who insist that calling yourself gay is old-fashioned. As a reward for going through all that, here’s a not at all homoerotic picture of Chris Meloni and Lee Tergesen wrestling.
A couple of additions have made it to “the list.”
Happy belated birthday to Scott Saavedra. Reader Garrett Berner passes along this contribution to the ever-growing list.
I thought about putting the list into some kind of order, but frankly, I’m beginning to like the long, rambling look of it. Also, as it prepares to move its way off the front page, remember that you can always find it by clicking this image on my side-bar: Plus, over at Lady, That’s My Skull, Sleestak is having a contest to come up with the best caption for a banner. You’ve got Wonder Woman and Bloodstone to choose from, so get cracking wise.
Last one from me, I think. Always Remember

Even if you: read Wizard, don’t like All Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder, like Ultimate Wolverine vs the Hulk, pick fights on message-boards and blogs, read Orson Scott Card comics, read Mark Millar comics, read Frank Miller comics as if there is no subtext at all, are unable to detect [name removed to prevent a fight I really don't feel like getting into right now, but trust me on this one]’s utter contempt for you, think Michael Turner is a good artist, are unable to recognize Grant Morrison’s genius, still think “Superman is a dick” jokes are funny, are still complaining about Identity Crisis, are still trying to defend the second half of Cerebus or fail to acknowledge that Wildcat is a sex god.
