Still trying to figure that one out myself...

I get it. I do. I used to really like the GL series, especially -- and I know nerds everywhere are cringing right now -- after Kyle Rayner took over for Hal Jordan.

Think about it. You're a space cop that has the most powerful weapon in the universe, literally at your finger tips! Anything you thing of, this ring can make. That's just really fucking cool!

It became even more of a cool concept when Kyle the artist entered the scene and started making giant robots and fucking Godzillas with his ring, instead of just the hands and boxing gloves and shit that the unimaginative Hal Jordan produced on an issue-to-issue basis.

AND Kyle didn't have that stupid yellow weakness, which I never really understood. If your ring is powered by will, why is the color yellow your weakness and not your own fear and doubts? Why make it emotion vs. color and not emotion vs emotion or color vs color? That always confused me.

So, yeah, I get it. It's a great concept. And I dig it. I do.

BUT as cool as it is to have the whole "space cop" thing going on, anytime GL -- Hal, Kyle, John Stewart, whoever -- is taken away from Earth and goes on big space adventures on alien worlds and all that, you lose me. Once you take a character away from anything that I can relate to and pace him or her on/in completely alien surroundings, if it's not done EXTREMELY well, I will lose all interest in the story you're trying to tell.

It kills the story for me even more when you add a brazillion other GLs from different corners of the universe into the mix. GL works well as a concept solo. He is one of Earth's defenders and the only one of his kind... ON EARTH. But put him in space with all the other GLs who have the same powers and abilities as he does and he's just a glorified security guard.

And who the fuck cares about the security guard?

I can list so many more that five. In no particular order:

1. Dick Grayson Batman for Bruce Wayne Batman
2. Wally West Flash for Barry Allen Flash
3. Hercules for Hulk in the "Incredible" series
4. Bucky Captain America for Steve Rogers Captain America
5. Cyclops for Prof X as headmaster of Xavier's/leader of X-Men
6. Jack Knight Starman for Ted/David Knight Starman
7. Xorn for Magneto
8. Casanova 909 for Casanova 919
9. Renee Montoya Question for Vic Sage Question
10. Cassandra Cain Batgirl for Barbara Gordon Batgirl

I have a huge man-crush on Donald Glover and would LOVE to see him Spider-Man. The season premiere of "Community" with him in the Spidey suit (http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/2010/09/custom_1285441009573_picture_15_01.png) was one of the most awesome things I have ever seen.

That said, I don't actually have story idea in mind but, just to make sure Donald got the part, I would type all of my scripts out on hundred dollar bills. Movie execs like moneys, right?

Also, not steal any thunder from Glover, but I can't believe nobody made any comments over "Modern Family's" Jessy Tyler Ferguson Spidey episode! (http://towleroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c730253ef013488498910970c-pi)

Fantastic Four is a Fab Four-esque early '60s group who really changed the way people thought about music; The Thing on drums, obviously.

The Thunderbolts have the album that has that REALLY good single so you buy the album but the rest of it kinda sucks.

The Invaders is the group that your dad has on vinyl that he's always trying to get you to listen to. Music from "his day."

Next Wave is the folk comedy band that's a huge hit on college campuses.

The Defenders is the band that everyone makes fun of but you secretly like a few of their songs.

X-Men is the rock group where every member has their own side project.

Power Pack is a hit with all of the Radio Disney teenyboppers. The kinda shit your mom and little sister listen to on the way to soccer practice. In a few years, they'll start listening to Runaways.

For the right price, Heroes For Hire will play at your wedding.

Oh, man. I love Love LOVE Backgammon.

If it's game night with friends, though, it's Apples To Apples or The Game of Things.

I don't know. Is he sick? We haven't talked in a while...

I honestly don't know anything about either of these storylines. To be honest, I am -- and have been for some time -- a bit sick of major crossover events. I'll probably still read them eventually, but not until they comes out in trade and not until I can get it for free from the library.

I've been known to partake in a cool refreshing Sprite every now and then...

I haven't seen any of the films listed, if that's what you're asking -- although, I heard some decent buzz on a few of them -- but I am all for people making their own films. I've been wanting to do it for a while now myself. Just haven't found others who have that same passion to actually go out and make a film yet.

The companies who make, distribute, and sell beer.

Makin' comics. No funny answer. No sarcastic response.

Just makin' comics, pure and simple.

I partake not in the meat, nor the breast milk, nor the ovum, of any creature with a face*.

1. What was that?

2. Who are you?

3. How did you get into my house?

"Writer of Wrongs: The Frank Cvetkovic Story"

And the part of Frank would probably be played by either Samuel L. Jackson or a freshly-shorn Jorge Garcia. (That's Hurley, from LOST, yo.)

Dinosaurs, obviously.

Well, as a writer and graphic artist, I kinda need the internet for my job, to communicate with my clients via email, research, download any new tools or information I may need to complete a job. And I have a webcomic that's debuting soon, so I'll need the internet to update that on a semi daily basis.

At the same time, unlike most nerds, I REALLY like showering. And pooping indoors.

So, yeah, see ya next week, Internet.

Godzilla, I hope.

Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Tell me what the "it" refers to.

Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.
