    Can anyone recommend a good shop for Free Comic Book Day in NYC? I went to Hub Comics in Somerville MA last year, and they were great - no line, could take as many as you wanted, plenty of stock left later in the day.


    But I'm concerned that NYC shops are more likely to have lines and one-per-person deals. AND I can't get there till after 2pm. So anyone have a recommendation for me?

    I wish I could get enthused about comics again... I used to have a large collection. The story lines (for me at least) are so warped and twisted from their original iterations I'd rather not try and force myself into something when I know I'll be mad later.


    Part of my problem is I just watched X-Men Origins:Wolverine... and stayed for the deadpool teaser at the end... and was not impressed by the overall story. It was pretty too look at though :P

    @dMo: I got more serious about returning to comics about a year ago, and I don't even bother with the ongoing superhero titles anymore. Maybe it's my age, but I just can't be bothered with all of these crossovers, alternate realities and convoluted continuities that get reset every few years or so. I've been reading the self-contained stuff -- 100 Bullets, Y, Ex Machina, Locke & Key, Girls --and picking up new titles based largely on who's writing it.

    More importantly, Obama is following in the footsteps of Superman and many of your favorite SF heroes by having a theme song written for him by John Williams.


    Okay, not exactly, but during the inauguration proper, there's gonna be Yo-Yo Ma (and maybe Itzhak Perlman?) playing a tune by Williams.


    I was kinda drowsy when I heard this, but I'm pretty sure of this.

    As someone who isn't currently reading any comics, and never read Marvel when I did, kindly allow me to step in with an unbiased opinion, the sort you'd get from me were I impaneled as a juror in this case (i.e. "reasonable man", educated but with no axe to grind either way).


    ["Law & Order" doink-doink]


    Erik: STFU.


    Move out of your (figurative) parents' basement, quit being a stupid, ignorant (two different things), whiny, emo pussy pre-teen.


    Presidents and supervillain switcheroo plots against them have existed in comics long before you were born.


    Everyone in this Internet is now dumber for having listened to you.


    In short: STFU.

    Oh, and Steven Colbert did actually run for President. He just didn't pay any fees or was backed by anyone but his fans. He was my write-in (Not really, The FSM was.)

    @silver-bolt:
    I had a friend in college who contended that if you don't vote, you can't bitch. And that if your man won, you can't bitch. And since he always wanted the option of bitching, he always voted Libertarian. I contend that if you vote for someone who you know can't win just so you can claim bitching rights, you're not really voting.

    @Doctor Who?:
    If your vote had a purpose other than to give you bitching rights, and you did not vote for the person who got elected, you have bitching rights. It's as simple as that. If you publicly admit that you would have voted for the person who got elected if there'd been a snowball's chance that he wouldn't carry your district/state/whatever, you do, however, effectively waive those rights.
