Thankfully, I didn’t come across anyone dressed as Lawrence Taylor or Major Payne.
Now to panels. This week I’m joined by Space Jawa. There are other kinds of Jawas?

by smashpro1 November 1st, 2010 at 11:40 --replySpeaking of Spidey / FF #4, Gavok, you’re the Venom expert. Have you covered the “Venom Bomb” in one of your articles?
by Two-Bit Specialist November 1st, 2010 at 12:37 --replyNah. Venom wasn’t involved in any way. They only called it “Venom Bomb” for marketing purposes.
by Gavok November 1st, 2010 at 13:54 --replyFIST.
by Munkiman November 1st, 2010 at 15:35 --replyYes, but now, retroactively, Venom was involved in “Venom Bomb.” Since it was the sample of the original symbiote that Kristoff (Kristoff!) stole that created the bomb in the first place…
Okay, it’s a stretch.
I thought Avengers concluded fairly strong, but it still didn’t need to be 6 issues. I thought the decompression era was over. Hey, who was that old lady in the future? I don’t think she was named all issue, and I couldn’t remember from the previous ones.
Secret Warriors. So awesome. Even though the art was a bit wonky. “I give up.”
Secret Avengers. Can’t really get excited about ninjas. (Flammable ninja zombies, on the other hand… see Thunderbolts.) Still, pretty good, even though Deodato isn’t the best at drawing martial arts action. Or maybe I was just spoiled by David Aja.
Thunderbolts. Crossbones, what a dick, huh?
By the way Gavok, I used to be a music manager at a Barnes & Noble. The background of your picture is giving me ‘Nam-style flashbacks. (Is that the Red and Blue Beatles albums I see on top? And… maybe American Idiot?)
