Always reblog
One of my favorite covers to any book I have worked on. People did a lot of experimenting during this period!

Why do I love this so much?
APE IN A CAPE: Today Was My Anniversary.
I met my lovely husband when I had just turned fifteen. We lived in separate towns, we went to separate schools.
But there was no doubt. He was my sweetheart.
We struggled to see each other when we could, we ran up outrageous phone bills. I moved further away and that made it more difficult…
Happy Anniversary, Gail & Scott! You two together have beautiful radiant energy!
He is a good, good guy. I kind of adore him the most of anything ever in history.

Heartbreaking Tearjerker of the Day: Chinese...
Heartbreaking Tearjerker of the Day: Chinese diver Wu Minxia took gold in the 3m synchronized springboard in London this week, becoming the first woman in history to win three consecutive Olympic golds.
But shortly after she finished competing, Minxia’s father reinforced China’s win-at-any-cost mentality when he dropped a couple of bombshells on his daughter via theShanghai Morning Post: Both her grandparents had died over a year ago, and her mother had battled breast cancer for eight years.
Wu called us after her grandmother died, I gritted my teeth and told her: “Everything’s fine, there aren’t any problems.”
Minxia’s parents found such lies were “essential” to ensure their daughter could keep focused on her training. She’d left home at 16 to live at a government-sponsored diving facility.
We never talk about family matters with our daughter. We accepted a long time ago that she doesn’t belong entirely to us. I don’t even dare to think about things like enjoying family happiness.

Just in case you thought it was just black people...
Just in case you thought it was just black people who hated gay people, get into how your white brethren showed up and showed out for chicken and homophobia.

Because nothing brings Americans together like hating on gay people!
I had some creep say he was looking out for me (with a gun) for talking about this yesterday.
Just good homespun folks, is all.
Look at them lining up like a Parade of Douches.

WHAT???? NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (AvX #9)
HOLY FUCK!!!!??
I guess it’s time I start reading these comics now, so I can decide if I need to rant or not. I’d refused to read them up to this point.
So… is it wrong that I’m really excited that they’re not married anymore?
Not really, but I hate that they essentially have to always treat Storm like shit in these things. So, I’m going to have to read it to get more context.
I always HATED this pairing from the get-go, anyway, so I’m not broken up about this. BUT… this is Marvel. Seriously. They spend MONTHS building up to the Wedding of the Century, then get their usual relapse of ADD and decide, “oopsie, this is boring, time for another retcon! YIPPEE!” Notice how this is happening in tandem with that guy they interviewed who said “We can’t do a Black Panther movie because we don’t how we’d create a setting like Wakanda?”
An anullment in one comic panel. Of a crossover title. Crossover titles SUCK. Seriously, Marvel???? They’re just gonna go out like that? I read one of the Daredevil/Black Panther issues in the store a couple of months ago and it was godawful. Horrible art where the action was indiscernible and flat storytelling. I hated Warren Ellis’ Storm in his first arc of Astonishing, and just when it got good with Xenogenesis, they changed everything again.
What’s this “high priest of the Panther Clan?” technically, wouldn’t that big Panther God cat beast have to do the anulling? Since when is T’Challa a high priest? I get that he’s King, and he can pretty much do what he wants, but he’s a high priest, too???
Fuck this. I’m gonna ship Ororo and Thor.
This exactly. As I explained somewhere else, I’m not a fan of the pairing, but that’s because I felt like this was just their “Oh, they’re both black and African. They should get married!” move. Not to mention they went through all this goddamn trouble of shoehorning this couple to be canon in the first place because apparently they couldn’t be bothered to actually build the relationship from scratch. I probably would’ve shipped this to hell and back if they’d treated this pairing with the dignity and respect that it deserved.
Now granted, after reading this, I understand why he did it, but at the same time, it’s still stupid because he’s supposed to know her best. This is also after she screamed in the middle of battle that THIS IS WHY THEY HAVE A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR. Because yeah, Storm would totally announce that all in public right at that moment. Oh, and next page after the annulled marriage deal, someone asks, “Can we trust Storm?” WHAT DO YOU MEAN CAN YOU TRUST STORM? When has Storm ever said, “This is wrong. I want to help.” and BETRAYED anyone?
And this is the LEAST of my issues with the whole story. I have lots of other issues. Oh, God, I said I wasn’t going to start ranting this early in the morning. LOL.
DT, this is why you are my hero! lol. However I’m still going to forever ship RoLo all day.
Same. Or that’s one of my many ships with her, but that’s probably one of my top 2, even when I complain about Wolverine and his relationship skills. LOL.
Wait. Dang. Is this for reals…I mean, it’s not taken back on the next page or something?

Paul F. and Scott Aukerman are both friends and comic book readers, and two of the funniest human beings on the planet. If you have watched Comedy Bang Bang on IFC, or listened to the podcast, you know this already, but seeing this show live is indescribable. I was on an episode myself a couple years back but the tape was ruined and the episode wasn’t saved (true!).
But come see this show tonight, if you can. YOU WILL THANK ME.
