Go HERE for Spider-Man comic strip remixes, and keep hitting refresh for new ones. I know, this was at Warren Ellis' site. its too good. LOOK!

I Saw Fahrenheit 9/11 today, at the very first showing. Excellent film, and funny though it can be, not nearly so much as Bowling for Columbine. Its too disturbing how clearly fucked up everything is to laugh. Though its as one sided as a plane missing a right wing, some things are too unforgiveable, and some too unexplainable for any kind of explanation from the other side. That and the "other side" talks all day long on every television news outlet there is. And not since Ronald Reagan's Bedtime for Bonzo has a political figure been so unknowingly, stupidly funny. Definately a must-see.

VANCOUVER BUS SUBJECTED TO CHEMICAL ATTACK

There's an American style headline for ya. But seriously, this is messed up.

A small amount of a potentially lethal chemical was found in a city transit bus, Vancouver police confirmed Friday, rejecting claims by B.C.'s chief medical officer that the so-called toxic bus was a case of mass hysteria.

Nine people were taken to hospital last month after the driver of the bus travelling from suburban Richmond to downtown Vancouver became violently ill. The incident happened after a man about to get off the bus turned to the driver and warned that the driver's day was about to get worse.

X-MEN ARE DEAD
Fuck Marvel up their big Dumb Asses

Since Grant Morrison's run on X-Men, by far my favorite, and inarguably one of the better runs on the series, Marvel has decided to ignore nearly every idea he put forth. Joss Whedon is the only current X-writer taking some of what Morrison left behind for his new Astonishing X-Men, by characterizing Emma and Beast much in the same way. But the whole X-line is going back to cheesy fan-wanking costumes from the 70s, Chuck Austen is single-handedly turning the X-Books into the mindless overpopulated overly convaluted battle soap opera it was back in the day. In addition he's bringing back Xorn. What? Xorn was Magneto, how can he do that?! Well, its simple, in the worst insult yet, that hackneyed slouch Chris (most overrated X-writer ever) Claremont in his second issue of Excalibur has brought back Magneto, dismissing everything from Planet X as the work of an "imposter".

Comics are dying, and X-Men are dead to me.

Fuck you Marvel.
