the lables in the interrogations are misleading. A witness can be 'lying' but not knowing better. It should be just 'evidence' or something. What they have is too basic a set of terms for the more complex scenarios. Perhaps big words tested poorly with casuals....
-
It's...almost there. I'm just used to Fraction writing him with...bigger balls.
-
All that yellow shit has to be Parallax though. Gotta be. There's only one way the franchise is aiming if that's the case, and that's the corps war.

Seen 11 now- with Black Panther being a bit of a G. It's actually excellent. Because it's written by Chris Yost, it's actually just like an animated version of the comics. In parts, it's just the MU in all its glory. No concessions or re imaginings, no cut corners or anything. It's great. The only thing I don't really like is how they've done Iron Man- they've followed the humour but they've not really kept his serious side or the drive that makes him who he is. Animation is tops, too. It's chunky and bold like Justice League but obviously on a much higher budget. For one thing, it's really fast, which is boss. Particularly with fist fights and stuff.

What, the 'ape controlled' bit?
-
This. I very much dislike the idea, but then I've not seen the numbers either. If there's still sound evidence to support it then...repugnant as it is, you can't argue with the facts. That said, I think that anyone who can provide a bill of clean health when they want to donate should be able to, regardless of their sexuality.

he's a cheeky fucking fraud, is who he is.

I couldn't read it, such was the depth of pure cringe involved.

I've just started reading Red Robin on a bit of a whim. Very cool series from Chris Yost. Nice slice of espionage tinged round the world action. Love the costume too - What's the history behind that? I've only ever seen it in Kingdom Come before. Anyway, well worth a look if you're curious.
-
I'm loving Ock at the moment. He's dicked around with Richards, Stark and Pym! Cool to see the Sinister Six around too - Probably the only really interesting badguy team out there? Most of the cool villains are solo. btw, you all read Secret Avengers 12.1, right? Amazing one shot.

Anyone know a good guide for 'droid apps? What are your favourites? I've not got many, just looking for general tips, stuff I might not know.

Can't be Bucky- they're relaunching Captain America with him as a new partner for the newly re-capped Rogers. or something. Speaking of which- has Fear Itself 'Done a Siege' with that? I remember during that event Steve Rogers was variously returned to life, seen for the first time several times by a bunch of characters, intermittently dressed as Captain America and (really weirdly) in a designless black body suit that literally looks like placeholder art nobody filled in because his new outfit hadn't been finalised in time. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Bucky in a Russian jail right now? in a few issues (Avengers #13, Moonknight #1) They've used the classic cap outfit. So is that Rogers? Because in Avengers #13 they ALSO have Steve Rogers in his...whatever he's called new outfit. So confused. So alone...

What's it even about? I don't know. Nick Fury in the 50s! A bunch of shit! Not even the real Red Skull! Fuck off! also: Turns out I really like Red Hulk on the team. Who knew?
-
You have a point with New Avengers. The 50s stuff is complete shite. It's not going anywhere, it has Sabretooth in it and the art is a steaming load of stale jizz. The modern sections are fine, and I like that, but...urgh. The Doc Strange arc was so good, too. if they cut the shit, this one would be decent too. I disagree about Avengers. I don't mind the pace at all, though Bendis is being a bit...much.
-
A Coen boxset without those films is a bit tragic, really.
-
I heard Uncanny X-Force was good too. True or False? also: taken to watching Justice League. It's good, but a little clumsy sometimes. Superman, particularly, is frequently gimped just to give other characters something to do. Every time he joins a fight he's usually taken out by either electricity or gass. There's also been no mention so far of his super speed. I know that's probably down to making room for the Flash, but it still sucks when he struggles to keep up with a escaping van.
-
I'm enjoying The Avengers franchise still. Infinity was cool and the kang opening arc was really good in the main book. New and Secret have also been pretty decent doing their own thing too. Academy is, of course, amazing. I've not read up on Amazing Spider-Man lately, but I like where it's going a lot (except for the FF. Too much of them) so I just need to catch up. I have no idea about X-Men, frankly. Totally lost track but the status quo following Hope's return was a clever enough set up for me to check it out. Again, just need to catch up. It's certainly not weak. I think there's an element of disconnection, certainly. When you loose a unifying threat like Osborn and The Sentry, that's bound to happen though. Fear Itself looks like it's going to be a really good event (feels like a blockbuster movie so far, which is boss) even though the plethora of side stories is bound to be a pain in the arse. For one thing, I'd much rather Iron Man got back to the Mandarin and Stane story than faff around with the event.

Ha. I really want that error!

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn

Heathen dog! - this is going to be ace! Just look at those names! It's a wonderful, wonderful collection of people just right for the job. I think the animated approach is going to be a good one too so really looking forward to this. Oh yus. -
I need to read more DC, I think. hit me
-
Dude, like, pay attention and stuff.

Aye. 4 is truly exceptional stuff. It's just the perfect evolution of the show. The plot is more compelling, the developments more exciting and the relationships are better crafted than ever. Don and Peggy, particularly, are fantastic. In fact, Peggy on her own is probably my favourite character in anything ever now. Yes.
-
The thing with Mad Men is that there's just so much that's implicit rather than explicit and all the character development is done in the subtext that it does all seem a bit shallow at first. I enjoy the hidden depth to it all though, and of course that shallow flashy exterior is a perfect metaphor for the ad business.
