    Since you mentioned American Maid, don't forget Captain Liberty from the live action Tick. If only for how she killed The Immortal.

    @MonkeyT: Pretty sure he managed to get the two mixed together in his head; he says "Dressed like Lady Liberty", but American Maid's costume is more of a domestically inclined Captain America type deal.

    There's something really compelling about the Comedian when you think about him as a character in a book. Trying to piece together his motivations means that there's always a little hole missing, and it's that little lacuna of insanity or cruelty or just darkness that always escapes. It's what makes him laugh too, I suppose. It's a really nicely put together figure that sort of embodies all the cold-war mentalities and post-vietnam traumas of America.

    @Pope John Peeps II: I guess the thing it reminds me most of perhaps is Kurtz in Marlow's Heart of Darkness. A sort of brilliant, intensely ideological figure who gets caught up in the fragility of those ideals, and obsessed with their dark opposite, and so becomes a horrible savage in the process.

    Where does this fall on the Geek Hierarchy?

    I'm guessing just above "Erotic Fanfic Writers Who Put Themselves In the Story."

    All that Glitters with the cigar burns really disturbs me. The gay sex? Meh, not so much. The violent positioning of the sexual partners into extreme dominant/submissive roles complete with body damage? Disturbing.


    And I enjoy dom/sub!

    I really hope they don't fuck this movie up. Jon is wearing underwear in the trailers. I hope they haven't suger coated the movie to lower the movie rating. I really hope this movie isn't shit.

    I hear there might be a movie based on this graphic "novel" coming out some times soon. Too bad there has been so little advertising and hype around it.

    @Dillenger69: Is this "graphic novel" that you refer to another term for an unabridged edition, with all the naughty bits included? Because if so, really, you should just come out and say so.

    You perv.
