This was still relatively fresh after infinite crisis.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-18228017617424206662011-07-04T10:20:31.533-05:002011-07-04T10:20:31.533-05:00I worked with a guy who had (tattoo) sleeves and p...I worked with a guy who had (tattoo) sleeves and piercings. He wanted to join the Marines, but the sleeves got in the way, and he finally got taken in by the Army. Before that, we heard a news report about a coalition of the tattooed suing companies for not hiring "their people." This really offended my pal. He pointed out that he got the sleeves as a choice to go against the norms of society and make a statement. He felt that if you got inked, and then wanted to become a banker, you missed the point.<br /><br />The thing I find endearing about this series is its conviction to stupidity. A lot of stuff in the Ostrander/Mandrake series made me really mad, because they took mean/dumb/easy routes when I knew that they were capable of better. That isn't an issue with A.J. Lieberman. If Chris Carter had a six-year-old grandson, and converted their playtime adventures with action figures into a grandly looney comic strip, this would be their Axe-Files. This first part is at worst problematic on adult terms, but I assure you that we have not even scratched the surface of its amusingly obvious incompetence. The Cucumber's fetish gear is made out of cheesecloth, or something.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-6764332254705148332011-07-04T03:36:19.813-05:002011-07-04T03:36:19.813-05:00I just don't know whether to laugh or cry afte...I just don't know whether to laugh or cry after reading this. Okay, I'll go with laugh.<br /> Now why is a shapeshifter, who can assume any pleasing, friendly shape he wants, complaining about people being afraid of his appearance? Either be happy with your new alien look and quit the whining, or change into something less-alien. Just a suggestion, J'onny.<br /><br />And who knew Andy Rooney was so cruel? Didn't see that one coming.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.com
