    R.I.P. - Something Wicked This Way Comes is a personal favorite.

    I don't know of anyone but the media talking about Northstars marrige either. But the idea of publicity is getting the media to talk about something theerby getting the public to talk about it. Btw i am a big fan of boobs also but not intrested in a Power Girl book.

    Unless there is something showing how wildly popular and profitable comics with gay characters are these days, I still dont understand how making a character gay is considered a publicity stunt.
    If it gets DC free air time free print time talking about there product and if it gets attention away from a rivals product - the marriage of Northstar. I smell a publicity stunt .

    That might explain the short elbowless arms and big legs and tiny feet.

    I don't think he even knows what he's saying anymore. I think his mouth just does its own thing and his brain has checked out.

    Oh. Wanna see the new Bloodstrike?



    In true Liefeld style: No feet, enormous ribcages and muscles, POUCHES FOR NO REASON, TEENY TINY head, mismatched anatomy, banana-thigh and extraneous lines.

    Nailed it!
    The arms are to short also.

    i love Obsidian and Jade. also why decide on making the father gay of an already gay character, potentially erasing the older one. :facepalm: thanks DC, that's not the best idea.

    This boggles the mind- why not just introduce Obsidian as the new gay character? It sadly reinforces my belief this is for publicity only.

    also, i prefer the term queer but it has a lot of history and stigma behind it, and some folks just arent comfortable with it, which is understandable.




    gosh i cant wait for jean-paul's wedding though!!! northstar! it's finally time!!! i wonder what state they're gonna do it in... so many choices... O_O
    Possibly it's the fact my brother is 55. My brother prefers the term gay because queer was an insult in the 60' and seventies . So he says .

    Yay....Universal keeps killing off shows that are actually worth watching because they are too cheap to pay "real" actors and instead replace those shows with game shows....yes reality shows where there is a winner is indeed a game show....
    I enjoyed Sanctuary - sometimes. It seemed to drift in what the core show was about to me. Great premise but I lkied the second season best.

    But yes, sadly it'll still likely* be hailed as some sort of big step blah blah blah equality, blah blah blah, because let's face it... you take what you can get.



    *unless very poorly handled
    That is something my brother and I have talked about . He is gay and he does not get cpmics book - never has.He has said why all the gays in comic books when he knows no one that is gay that reads them now. Maybe when they were younger but not as adult men. He laughs at me and my obssesion about them.

    Publicity stunt ,and Didio wants another award from a Lesbian Gay group. DC cannot seem to stop selling zizzle and sell steak. They will out somebody and move on to the next stunt.
  14. Optimus_Dex
    The only 50 I ever have deleted was a Tank - he was boring.Survivabilty is great but damage is laughable the way it is now.
  15. Optimus_Dex
    I still,streetsweep sometimes. Just killing time or nostalgia.
  16. Optimus_Dex
    Thanks , nice free gift.

    Space hippies and tribbles for the win.

    It's Finnegan I tell you- vastly underused menace to Kirks machismo.

    That looks much better- breaks up the monotone of the blue.

    No, they had a gag order placed on them.

    Yeah , I was intrested in Dark Shadows till I saw that clip. Guess to be hip youi have to make fun of something.

    Good luck with getting a Redname to post on this- I think they are hoping it just goes away.

    I had a newly levled 50, got the Alpha slot covered and tried to get on a trial - any trial. I was told 3 nights in a row - sorry we are only taking + 3's. So I went to other servers and kept checking back a week later I got accepeted on a trial. It's a little hard to get the + when you can't get on a trial to get the needed things. I would rather see them do away with the + levels. And I do know that I could have stareted a trial myself - except there was only one other alpha slotted 50 in the Zone.

    i am hoping this is fixed and over but we will see what next month brings.
