John Byrne is responsible for most of what is awful, unholy, and generally bad in all comic books today, except for the wretched and vile spew that Kurt Busiek penned and inked. The two of them together represent the right and left hands of the comic book Satan. (Naturally, there are a few tiny exceptions to this here and there, but those are EXCEPTIONS, not rules.)

My explanation of Superman explains everything about him, except for how Lex Luthor was able to use bolt cutters to get a hair sample from the museum, and why it didn't explode in the first place (unless Superman gave them a 'denatured' hair from his booth in the ole Fortresse du Solitaire, of course, it shouldn't have been able to support that weight if it were...argh!) Face it, Superman is just this big ole impossible-to-explain doofus. In the 70s, he and a truckload of other DC characters got a whole slew of inexplicable powers, and in spite of these hack-job ret-cons they've been getting, just don't make any logical sense anymore. They ought to just be killed off and left for dead, but unfortunately, the powers that be at DC prefer money to art, so we're stuck with these ridiculous characters, and even worse, these hack artist-writers. Lemme tell ya this much. Good writers can't draw, and artists shouldn't be allowed to write their own checks, let alone their own comics.

It's because of all the irrationalities about Superman that I can't stand him. Heh, I wish Hulk WOULD tear his arms and legs off, preferably while on another planet, preferably in another solar system. Maybe on the Skrull homeworld...

The Marvel universe is a shade better, but that's not saying a whole lot. Still, the Fantastic Four make a hell of a lot more sense than the last son of Krypton ever did.

When I think of what these modern hacks have done to the Dark Knight Detective, it makes me want to cry. He used to be brooding, brainy, and brave. Now he's brooding, brutal, and brainless.

Don't take my word for it though, go read MartianVision. You can find a link to it at:

There is something really amusing about a whole bunch of computer geeks arguing with comic geeks about who is geekier.

But this pales into comparison to the people who actually start analysing the physics behind the actions of super heroes.....

It reminds me of the soap watchers in the "who shot Phil Mitchell?" East-Enders discussions. One **** had a mock-up set of Albert Square, and was analysing how far it was to various points around the square, to see who could have moved x metres in y time, and hence who could have "done it".

Can anyone see where I'm going with this?

I love the fact that nobody has said it would b a draw.

I reckon Superman would open up a can of whup-ass on Hulk, personally.

heh, I remember. yeah, the obsession with 'who shot Phil Mitchel?' was deeply sad...
