I thought he was an illegal alien anyway?

I never liked DC comics, anyway.

And on a related note, if Supe dons a UN baby blue unitard, he will match a certain Zero Halli and will become fairly ineffectual. Coinkydink? I think not. ;)
DC selling out to PC instead of taking on any issues, perhaps? I may need to read the issue to see what the context says, but I would guess it is more "Kumbayah singing World Police" PC. It has become an evil thing to be steadfastly American. Or an unabashedly proud American. Even for Kal-El. Sad, really.

He can go home if he doesn't like it here too.

And, who the hell is still reading comic books?

Hasn't that breed of moron died off yet?

Most of them are all now producing major motion pictures, making millions

No, I'm not dead yet. :rolleyes: And fyi, we have a member here who used to be a very important production member of one of the larger comic book companies.

Comic books, or graphic novels, have far more interesting storylines than anything on tv today.

Since all(well most) of these superhero movies have made so much money, I guess you would have to consider those that went to see them morons too, huh?



As for StuperMan, so eat Krytonite!

I moron'd myself to all the Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and Ironman movies. The Hulk, too. I loved that show when I was a kid, I was truly sad when Bill Bixby died.
I'm looking forward to Thor, too. I hope it doesn't suck. :D

I saw the previews and it looks frickin' cool!

Well, I knew as soon as I posted that it was going to piss someone off - but then again I studied literature in college and still read a lot of books and none of them have cartoons in them. ;s

Don't worry, I have become a cigar snob too since joining CA.

As for the movie industry, I'd say they know their target audience pretty well (it just isn't me anymore).

I'll give you Ironman but only because Gwenyth Paltrow was in it :D

I don't read comic books anymore (maybe 30 years ago?), Rick. It's only been a few years ago that I learned of "graphic novels". I don't read them, but I looked into them, and they are infinately cool. They have a huge following of adults, because they're full of real content, both story-wise and art-wise. While it may not be my bag, I can sure understand why someone else would like them.
If you picked up cigar snobbery here, you definately missed something along the way. If there's one thing that's heard more than any other, it's "smoke what you like, like what you smoke". It's a simple respect for people's pursuit of happiness.
I don't think you pissed anyone off at all. If anything, your comment may have disappointed a few, but that's just my guess.
Smoke what you like, my brother. :tu

So because you studied literature(ooooooh), you can call people morons for liking comic books. I see.

And if you are you calling me a cigar snob, you can f yourself. :tu
