You motherfucker! I know better than to comment before I listened to the episode. You know you WANTED to read some more Runaways.

Strangers in Paradise was awesome (even though you and Comic Racks beg to differ) and Terry Moore's Echo is good as well.

I think that Moore is the third best writer of Runaways, and this issue was pretty ridiculous, but I loved the previous issue when Xavin sacrificed his/her freedom for his/her chick.

This is probably not the book that Terry Moore should be on. This is the type of book that needs a particular touch.


Oh, and I don't think ANYONE should be fired for being racist or "offensive" I think they should be talked to, they should be heard by the public and they should be given warning that what you say doesn't fly with everyone.

If Will Eisner can't draw and write a horrific black sterotype, then Podcast X should be shut down for allowing Anonymous Courtney to listen, and Thoom should be shut down for its advocation of child pornography!

I do want more Runaways...just as long as Terry Moore's not the one writing the book.

I tried to read an issue of that Strangers in Paradise mess, and I'm siding with the Comic Racks broads (or at least Stacebob - I think she's the one I remember trashing it) on this one.

At least Xavin was in character in last issue, but you just know Moore got rid of (or Marvel forced him to get rid of) him/her just to purge the book of any hint of hot lesbo action.

Moore shouldn't be on the book because he's writing down to what he probably thinks is the book's natural (read: young) audience, as opposed to writing for "all ages" in the best sense (meaning for everybody) like Vaughan and Whedon did.

We can at least fire a comic book writer for being painfully boring, right? Oh damn, apparently not. Otherwise, Chris Claremont wouldn't still have a career.

Actually, Runaways could only benefit from child porn scenes at this point. Then again, we don't know what Molly and the new girl are up to with each other when we're not watching.

Oh, and since you brought up Mr. THOOM!, I should probably mention here that I'm on Tim's latest episode in which we team up to give the infamous Human Fly all the respect he (*cough*) deserves.

I have come to the conclusion that men do not really like lesbians.
Because in reality lesbians are butch and often not terribley attractive, also they hate men.
The last two facts may somehow be related.

What men like are bisexuals. Women who are up for anything. You can watch her go at another girl and then you can root her yourself afterwards.

Kind of like why girls like Captain Jack Harkness.

Okay, you've conclusively proven that it's a good idea for women to have sex with each other (obviously, I didn't need much convincing on that front), but would you really still want Jack Harkness after he'd just been fucked by some other dude, though?

On a completely unrelated note, I should probably mention in addition to this PCX ep. and the latest THOOM!, I'm also on the new Comic Book Attic reviewing the book that's fueled many a pedophile's sickest fantasy, Sugar & Spike.

What's wrong with Marvel, Terry Moore is a chick, therefore should only write girl comics like "Stranglers in Paradise."

Courtney, are you kidding? Getting men hating dykes to perform for guys is part of the humiliating fun.

Great, Now you're making me download another episode of Comic book attic. Hold on. Okay, I just listened to it. What no "boob count?"

In Ref to Spirit, seriously there are kids as dumb as Ebony White and dumber. All babies are evil.

In ref to Runaways - of course the new girl has bigger boobies than Molly. The new girl has had sex. It's been scientifically proven that boobs get bigger the more sex a female has and rubbing sperm on her chest is like Boobies Gro.

Is it really all that bad?

Okay, Terry Moore, despite his complete lack of manly qualities such as talent or skill, is indeed a male of the species (even if I wasn't sure if you were kidding and just double-checked online); after all, everyone knows women have no business doing anything that requires any kind of creativity or intelligence, like writing. Gail Simone? Clearly, a hermaphrodite. No, really. I mean, just look at her.

Sheldon Mayer must have suspected that I'd one day review his comic, hence his covering Sugar's baby boobies with soap bubbles at the end of that first story and preventing me from counting them.

Fuck medical science for saving everyone's life these days. That train was just giving those girls a perfectly fair "Are you bitches too stupid to live?" test...and they failed.

As further evidence of your credible "sperm-on-titties" theory, note lesbian Karolina's relative flat-chestedness compared to slutty Nico's rack in the beach scene.

Sheesh. Eisner may have been a creative genius but he was definitely, as they say, "a product of his time".

If Terry Moore isn't female then atleast gay, right?

My favorite line was,-Destiny says. "My mom told me I lost a leg, and it didn't really go through my mind. It didn't really go through my mind for, like, a month. I was like, 'Whatever, I lost a leg, it will grow back.' And then I was like, 'Wait a minute. No, it won't.'"

Think they need a copy of Amputee Love?

Well, Terry Moore did write about ninety or so issues of a friggin' soap opera funnybook for chicks, so he's gotta be suspect at the very least.

And those two stumpy bitches are so stupid, I'd probably start 'em out on coloring books or something before I'd work them all the way up to comic books.

Isn't Amputee Love a coloring book?

Admittedly, it was written on about the same level as one...!

As punishment for falsely judging Strangers in Paradise, I submit to you a scene from later issues of SiP:

I had more pics, but now they done broke, so I can't show you more awesome.

Wait a minute...we're supposed to just take it on faith that the poor, defenseless dead guy is a "child molester" just because the crazy chick wants everyone to think he is? Pfft. She's just bitter that he's not still alive to be molesting her now.

I thought I explained it before, child molesters are usually just victims of clumsy children. It's not their fault children fall on top of their genitals. Over and over again. And it's not their fault children suffocate themselves when playing with clear plastic bags.

Who is that girl? She looks like a redhead so she's automatically evil. Is she Judy? You know the girl, gay Spiderman "saved" Tony from?

Spider-Man's never gonna live that pedophilia story down, is he?

I'd tell you that's actually a guy in the post picture, but I can't vouch for anything in that awful comic. Marvel's apparently had enough of Terry Moore's bullshit, too. Originally announced as writing the new Runaways for at least its first year, he's now history after #9.

Ah, what are you gonna do? If him leaving keeps the Runaways alive, I'm OK with that. Now he has more time to devote toEcho, which is awesome-

Trenchcoat, don't you dare say anything about Echo. If you ever review it, I wash my hands of it!

March 28, 2009 9:14 PM  
Blogger T Mafia said...

Echo? Well, I looked at the covers, anyway. So the deal is that the chick gets a bunch of metal melted permanently onto her tits? So I'm never gonna get to actually see those huge knockers of hers?! How the hell has this book lasted-- oh. It's another of Terry Moore's self-published vanity projects. Well, then.
