20 Questions For You All For the 2/15 Comic Week
I am sure there are some spoilers involved in the following 20 questions. Feel free to answer or not - some of them ARE rhetorical, after all...
1. Can you imagine what it would be like if Paul Pope's Batman: Year 100 had come out BEFORE Dark Knight Returns? I think it would have been just as influential.
2. I stole this from Ryan Simmons, but it was too good not to mention - How could Bendis have chosen Black Bolt to be a member of the Illumati? He is one of the only characters who specifically canNOT yammer on endlessly!
3. For those who have read Brubaker's first issue of Daredevil, did you know who Dakota North was before you read the issue?
4. Anyone reading Denise Mina's Hellblazer? I think it has been very good.
5. I am not the only one glad to see no more Bradstreet or Lauren on Hellblazer covers come May, am I?
6. What did you think of the ending of The Losers?
7. What character in Girls do you detest the least?
8. How the heck can it be that no one at Marvel has remembered that Mary Jane and Carol Danvers used to be friends?!? I mean, think about it, Mary Jane has, like, nothing going on - so to give her a real friendship with someone non-Spider-Man related is pretty big, no?
9. Wasn't this month's Runaways the cutest damned thing you've read in quite some time?
10. Who here remembered that Two-Gun Kid was a lawyer?
11. Do you think Anne Rice could write a good Apocalypse novel?
12. Who else thinks it would be funny to blow up the big splash page of this month's Ultimate Fantastic Four (thanks, Mark Fossen) and bring it to a big modeling event and have people try to find themselves?
13. Ending of this month's Batgirl: Reactions?
14. Am I wrong, or did Wildcat seem awfully understanding about Jay Garrick possibly hitting his wife, Joan, in this week's JSA Classified? Like...TOO understanding.
15. Anyone get the impression that the current Sergeant Rock mini-series was initially intended as a graphic novel? The issue breaks do not seem to flow that well to me.
LIGHTNING ROUND!!
16. What did you like better: Scene of the Crime or Gotham Central?
17. If two members of the Fantastic Four HAD to die, who would you pick?
18. What established Marvel characters would you replace them with?
19. What do you think happened at the end of the last issue of Gotham Knights?
20. Who was your favorite artist in this week's Action Comics?

2. He's the nodder of the bunch. He just nods, prodding the others to keep talking.
3. Yes, but I visit a forum with Mattbib. (Seriously: I saw her in Cage years before)
4. Nope
8. Take your meds like a good little boy.
9. Yes
10. Before or after Dan Slott mentioned it? I remembered because of that thread on Jewish heroes on CBR.
11. I don't think Anne Rice can write good novels period.
12. Is this the zombie-version? No? That would have been funnier though.
17. Reed and Johnny.
1. A Batman who spends the whole issue running away from stuff? Not really sure who it would influence. A weak first issue.
17. All of them.
How the heck can it be that no one at Marvel has remembered that Mary Jane and Carol Danvers used to be friends?!?
Jesus. No offense, like, but isn't Spider-Man shit ENOUGH, right now?
I don't think Marvel could get any further away from Spider-Man now without accidentally printing an issue of OMAHA THE CAT DANCER in its place.
If MJ were to make friends outside the Parker household - and she surely needs to - then it'd have to be with a "real" person, not Cipher MacKree. Or any other supercharacter, for that matter.
Am I the only person who remembers that Spider-Man was supposed to be about a (more or less) real person who had to BALANCE superpowers with a (more or less) REGULAR LIFE?
I mean, clearly that weak little joke at the reader's expense in the front of the new Amazing Spider-Man makes EVERYTHING okay, but come ON.
//\Oo/\\
1. No.
2. Plus, uh, how does a guy who spends a lot of his time isolating himself and his people from the rest of the Earth feel the need to influence affairs?
3. Yes! HAH!
6. Good. Last page was corny, but other than that it worked.
8. Well, the acting stuff provides great fodder for MJ plots, when writers remember it.
10. ME!
11. THE HELL?
12. Dude, it would be hilarious. And... wouldn't it also get Land sued?
13. Women in black leather snapping each other's necks: hot. Girl in black leather snapping the neck of HER MOTHER: Uh, EVEN HOTTER!
14. That's not the Ted Grant I know, that's for sure.
15. The magic 8-Ball sez: it would seem so.
16. Scene of the Crime. I never liked Homicide.
19. Hush killed the Joker. Batman let him. The stories are making too good an argument for the Joker needing to die. I suppose we'll find out one way or the other in Infinite Crisis #7.
20. The ones that didn't suck.
9. It was pretty damn cute, but it wasn't as cute as Marvel Ai, which was too cute. Runaways was simply perfectly cute.
10. I don't think I was alive when that character was created, so there's no way I could have remembed.
12. If capes were provided for people who did find themselves, it would be.
17. Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm. It's only a matter of time before they kill each other, anyway.
18. She-Hulk for Ben (naturally), and for the flaming flyer, maybe Firestar. Reed would be surrounded by ladies, but I can't think of an decent, active male fire-wielder, offhand. Or is Jim Hammond still around somewhere?
