GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Nice! I just read "My Life as a Weapon" recently.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Sad to see that Evan Dorkin is going through such a rough patch: [link]

Wow, that breaks my heart. Such a talented guy. I used to trade tapes with him and Sarah back in the 90s when Emmett was little.

I never knew that Ta-Nehisi Coates was such a nerd.

Oh, yeah. He doesn't do it as often anymore, but he used to write a lot about comic books and playing D&D as a kid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But in a genre where death is malleable, I think it's easy to miss how well certain characters work while dead, how they exert a gravity on the main story.

I think this point is true and Jean Grey and Jason Todd exerted more influence and gravity to their respective universes when they were dead.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I'd argue the same was true of Barry Allen.

I concur, Matt.
