Dodgeball! (And Terrorism In X-Men)
Apr. 27th, 2004 09:23 pmFor some reason, over supper I started talking about dodgeball with my father. Then I made a quiz. What Dodgeball Player Are You?
I'm telling you man, dodgeball. It's Darwinian.
I picked up an issue of Uncanny X-Men today, after quite a drought. I was shocked to learn that they'd killed off a bunch of people again, and blown up a major US city again. Even more shocking (ha!) was the appropriation/integration of current major American social concerns. The issue is #442 and the front cover has a grim looking Wolverine, dog togs hanging out over a torn uniform, fists clenched and claws popped, standing before an empty helmet of Magneto's and this... fantastical gas mask cum corpse. Wolverine is Determined. Grieving. Even Sad.
( spoilers! )
And randomly, it occurs to me that I'm in dire need of the odd media icon. My collection is getting increasingly odd. X-Men? Pirates of the Carribean? Harry Potter? Plzbithnx.
