I believe that Giant Girl from Marvel Adventures Avengers is an older version of Cassie Lang AKA Stature from Young Avengers.
Which bares the question why the older version of her uses the word "girl" in her name as opposed to a non-age specific name.
5. Y'know I THOUGHT it was in the past but then Black Mask had to go and reference Catwoman killing him and now i'm all confused.
13. Things get sticky in the 5th dimension.
16. Arhtur Conan Doyle.
18. Gonna say Yorick. Mitchell Hundred's "factitis" seems a bit more honed/specific to NY and history.
1. Yes.
2. Is that a trick question?
3. No, not really. It's just the way DC feels about its women.
4. Yes, I think he does. Whether the payoff will be worth it remains to be seen.
5. Bruce Jones DOES think his audience are all morons, doesn't he?
6. Wasn't that established in his very first appearance?
7. No, but Reginald Hudlin's BP? Seriously uncool, man.
8. 6.
9. Boring Past His Sell Date Plot Device.
10. Whichever ones piss off bloggers I don't like.
11. Nope.
12. John Byrne and Warren Ellis, probably.
13. Fuck no. We're all stupid idiots, why should he bother?
15. I'll take "Crap characters nutured by comic book editors who only worked under their original creator" for 100, Cronin.
16. Poe, I think, but Margopoulos and Corben aren't really doing strict adaptations. "The Conqueror Worm" read like a Poe/Lovecraft mashup.
17. Warlord.
18. The fans. Of course, if you're a "Fan" of the weakest aspect of Brian K. Vaughan's writing.
19. Cassie.
1. Do you think Tempest is "dead" (in that he is at least MEANT to be dead)?
... Who's that?
2. First Black Canary and now Green Arrow...does Identity Crisis #3 have some sort of record for "story writers bend over backwards to make up for"?
... And you are referring to what?
3. Does the treatment of Cassie Cain irk you?

... Hopefully, Wolverine will die at the end of it.

... Yes, I imagine there is.
8. On a scale from 1-10 (1 being "How can I go on without him?" and 10 being "I am glad he is gone"), what are your feelings about Kurt Busiek leaving Conan?
... Conan did quite well without Kurt Busiek. I'm sure it will manage to soldier on.
9. What's J. Jonah Jameson's JOB title, currently? Is the owner of the Daily Bugle? Publisher? Editor-in-chief?
... As long as he's paying the bills, he can call himself whatever he wants.
10. What team would you like Manhunter to join?
... The Manhunters.
11. Of all the original Justice League members, has any one of them ever have as bad of a costume revamp as Martian Manhunter's current one?
... It's still an improvement.
12. Do you think there was any dude out there in 1963 going, "What the HELL!?!? A teenager can't be selling photos to a newspaper!!"
... I don't think they thought about it that much.
13. Does Jeph Loeb even understand his last storyline?
... Jeph Loeb is actually a machine, sent back from the future to assassinate Sarah Conner. He doesn't need to understand his stories.
14. Take a stab at it - what's the current Aquaman's secret origin?
... He's a fish who got turned into a human. Like in a fairy tale or a Disney movie.
15. Who is the current Dominic Fortune?
... Is this a trick question?
LIGHTNING ROUND!!
16. Edgar Allan Poe or Arthur Conan Doyle - who translates better to comic book adaptations?

3. Nope, didn't read her before, ddn't read her now.
4. I problably would be, if I had been reading Batgirl.
