If you didn't read comics, but were instead a shareholder in Marvel comics, then I'm sure his actions would make a lot more sense to you.

Yes, he may be harming the company's long term profits by going for short-term gains, but ultimately, that wouldn't concern you, as you can always sell your shares when they become unprofitable, and buy something profitable instead.

You know what's funny, in my senior year of high school, we had to buy fake stock in 5 companies, and track how we did through the year. Half of my fake money went to Marvel.

Less than a week after the assignment started, Marvel went bankrupt. Yeah, that sucked.

Just read 1602 by Neil Gaiman. Interesting story, I liked a lot of the ways the modern characters were integrated. And no Wolverine either, which was a surprise at first, but a pleasatn surprise.

I wasn't a huge fan of 1602 for some reason. Probalby because I'm just not a "period piece" fan, and that the Captain America reveal seemed weak. Might need to reread it now.

BTW, the Ender's Game comic is pretty cool, and makes me want to read the book again.

The Captain America reveal wasn't great,I'm not sure why the bad guys in the future wouldn't have shot him in the face instead of sending him back in time. And accidentally almost destroy all of existence.
Just recently read Ender's Exile, a new book in the whole series. It was weak. Got to the end, and my reaction was "Is that it? Whatever." The original Ender's game is by far the best.
Also, the Eagles stink.

You too, man! Wish I could be in town for the holidays, but I got my Rose Bowl jaunt to SoCal, then Night Nurse and I head out for our honeymoon in St. Lucia the first week of January.

BTW, it's not that hard to register a name on Blogger... you don't always need to be Anonymous :)

Also BTW, Orson Scott Card is soooooooo gay:

"Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn. Biological imperatives trump laws. American government cannot fight against marriage and hope to endure. If the Constitution is defined in such a way as to destroy the privileged position of marriage, it is that insane Constitution, not marriage, that will die."

Ahh, yes, but the laziness factor usually trumps the urge to register anything blog-wise.

Have fun in St. Lucia!

Orson Scott Card is insane.

Yeah, I'm over a month and a half behind in commenting, but I'll PM you to tell you to read this. Anyway, I'm telling you, man. TPB...I dropped all my pulls except X-Factor and Black Canary/Green Arrow. BC/GA will be dropped soon if the writer who took over for Winnick doesn't shape up. Everything else I read in TPB form. I have to wait longer, sure, but I find it takes me a while to read all those issues anyway so I might as well just get them in spurts. And on Amazon, I can get them for $10-12 each which comes to $1.66-2 per issue. You can't beat that with a stick. Current TPB pull list:

The Walking Dead
Birds of Prey
Grenn Lantern Corps
Anything else random that intrigues me like Planet Hulk, Serenity, etc.

Heh, and you still thought I was a Marvel Zombie.
