  1. Reading Blackest Night. Did Hal Jordan actually refer to his crew of multicolored lanterns as the Rainbow Rodeo?
  2. RT @JimMcCann: IRON MAN 2 poster with War Machine!!! http://tinyurl.com/yjaya8b
  3. My pick of the week is probably tied between Detective Comics and Iron Man -- Detective would win if I cared about the Renee half.
  4. New Avengers and Uncanny X-Men this week were both excellent fight issues. Teams! With plans! And leaders! And kickass women!
  5. @PraxJarvin I wonder how Marvel characters who are portrayed as very religious, like Daredevil and Nightcrawler, reconcile that?
  6. @PraxJarvin I know, they're usually pretty careful about just not touching Christian religion - but they're willing to appropriate others.
  7. @PraxJarvin And most people who worship Zeus are making a conscious choice to call on mythic archetypes.
  8. @PraxJarvin "People" do, but the characters/viewpoint of this book don't. That's why it's troubling.
  9. @GregHyatt That's fine as a personal belief, but this book uses an Indian goddess as a myth while upholding Judeo-Christian beliefs.
  10. .@PraxJarvin It's not like anyone dares to say "Jesus was a mythic archetype" or compare him to anyone.
  11. .@PraxJarvin Especially since it starts with USAgent saying that these other gods aren't the "real" God, and he isn't contradicted.
  12. .@PraxJarvin Kali, in a conversation in Incredible Hercules 138. I see what they're trying to convey, but it's problematic.
  13. .@PraxJarvin It's one thing to have Hercules running around; it's another to call a myth a goddess that a billion people still worship.
  14. Oh, Van Lente and Pak, why must you fall into Claremont's trap of calling gods that people still worship "myths"?
  15. My parents are watching Criminal Minds. There's a Mardis Gras rapist who appears to have learned his accent from Gambit.
  16. Home from D.C. The Turnpike is an evil, evil road. But we finally got home. Relaxing now.
  17. @comicbookchris In a hotel room with my family. It was the only thing we could agree on, since we just visited the Smithsonian.
  18. Why did no one warn me Night at the Museum 2 involves singing, moving cherub statues who look like and are voiced by the Jonas Brothers?
  19. Great day doing the round of monuments and war memorials and the American History museum at the Smithsonian. Now, watching White Collar.
  20. @madmarvelgirl I don't know what's funnier -- that they merged Cleveland and Arthur, or that that merger is played by Peter Sarsgaard.
