High On Firefly

hms42 found a fan video created by Dragonkat for Last Exile using "I'm On Firefly". :) I don't know any of the characters, but most seem to match up just fine, and the editing is great.

Why I Read scans_daily

So that I don't have to give money to the fucking shitheads at DC and Marvel, who seem to be actively working to make me despise characters I've loved since I was a child.

For instance: Having pointlessly killed off Captain America last year, Marvel is "bringing him back" by sticking Bucky in the suit.

Four words, just for the rasslin' fans: Fake Razor. Fake Diesel.

Oh, and he's "packing heat".

Cap.

With a gun.

These guys literally have no idea what to do with a character, let alone an iconic character. The fucking Punisher "packs heat", all right? And, oh yeah, he's a deranged psycho murderer who just happens to kill bad guys.

Avengers Disassembled. Civil War. Identity Crisis. Infinite Crisis. Countdown. Brand New Day. So, so many others. Some of the worst, lamest fanfic ever... except it's canon. Jayzus, how did these talentless, clueless hacks get ahold of the characters I love?

The only thing that looks halfway decent these days is the JMS-written Thor. And, even there, Loki was brought back as a woman. Which I can deal with, I suppose, but.

Anything really good, or rant-worthy, in your comics pile?

ETA: wormquartet reminds us of both good and bad: the amazing Fables, and the ludicrous House Of M.

Give 'Em Hell, Montel

Don't actually know if they're related... but Montel Williams' show is not being renewed... three days later after this.
