Heroes Eris Quod Sum – 2 minute replay
The fact that with Elle’s Dad dead, the closest thing she has to a friend is Clair is soooo sad. Also whose bright idea was it to bring an out-of-control electric girl on an airplane (where they don’t even want you to turn on a cell phone or an IPOD). Both of them should have known better.
I hope this doesn’t end up with UBER Arthur Petrelli vs a bunch of depowered Heroes, but Arthur Petrelli vs a buch of REpowered Heroes might be interesting.

Garth Ennis’ Battlefields: The Night Witches
Late summer, 1942. As the German army smashes deep into Soviet Russia and the defenders of the Motherland retreat in disarray, a new bomber squadron arrives at a Russian forward airbase. Its crews will fly flimsy wooden biplanes on lethal night missions over German lines, risking fiery death as they fling themselves against the invader- but for these pilots, the consequences of capture will be even worse. For the pilots of the 599th Night Bomber Regiment are women. In the deadly skies of the Eastern front, they will become a legend- known, to friend and foe alike, as the Night Witches.

Paris for President
And Paris is not just a waste of human flesh. I’m even edging ever so slowly towards liking her. I hope she can continue to be funny after the election. From this clip and her last few, I’d say Paris has better advisers than President Clinton.
I hope she doesn’t cause a Nader on election day, but I don’t think we have anything to worry about. Her biggest fans are preteen girls and they don’t get to vote.
… and who is that cutie she has front and center? Anyone know his name? Phone number?

Heroes – BEHIND THE ECLIPSE: Week 4
First here are 4 video clips from Monday Nights episode… (I’m not going to spoil my night, but you can if you want).
In Week 4 of CBR’s Behind the Eclipse, Readers ask all kinds of questions, and occasionally get answers.
This week people with inquiring minds what to know… Why did Peter have to be taught to use Sylar’s power? Can Daphne do everything the Flash can? Do Peter and Sylar have the same daddy? When did Maury escape from level 5? Were DL’s powers synthetic too? What powers does Arthur Petrelli have? Wat is i about Sylar’s power that drives Sylar/Peter to kill? We have seen eight of the twelve escaped villains (Stephen, Doyle, Echo, Knox, Maury, the German, Flint, Jesse), will the other four villains still appear this season? How did Pinehurst gather the Level 5 escapees so fast? Will we find out what happened to the warp guy? Can Angela dream normally? Will we see a musical episode? (no) and of course… Mr. Muggles and Sylar’s son Noah, who was the greater power?
Want to know the answers and read more questions?

Lil O’Reilly strikes again!
Here’s a parental guidance PSA disguised as comedy. Don’t let children watch Fox News – it warps the mind!!!!! There should be a mandatory age of 36 to watch it. Even that is questionable, but if you figure they aren’t smart enough to see through the bullshit by 36, they never will.

Superman: New Krypton One Shot: I especially loved Gary Frank’s gorgeously penciled sequence – Jonathan Kent’s funeral. I haven’t seen such a beautifully drawn solemn occasion since John Byrne’s chronicling of of the X-Men mourning Jean Grey directly after the Dark Phoenix Saga. Some interesting developments as Kandor starts to adjust to life on Earth or is it vice versa. I’m still waiting for explanation of Supergirl’s happy reunion with the father she recently thought sent her to kill Superman – anyone got one???? Also, Supes may have lost his father, but his dead father-in-law isn’t quite as dear or departed as Clark might like.
True Believers #3 of 5: I wish this wasn’t just a miniseries. It feels monthly to me. This is an “idea” book and it needs space to tell us a story. I understand miniseries like Wanted and War heroes that are just illustrated screenplays, but not EVERY untested idea needs to start as a mini.
The New Avengers #46: How did the Red Hood and his ilk find out about the Skrull invasion? And where did he get his daemonic power – as in which demon?
Secret Invasion #7 of 8: Its pretty much a battle royale. And someone REALLY should have told Luke Cage’s wife Jessica Jones that Jarvis was a Skrull. She might not have thought him a suitable mid-battle babysitter had she known. PLUS who shows up when things get epic? Uatu The Watcher!!! (or as my bf, popapathy calls him the big-baby-headed-man-in-a-toga – my Marvel Select Uatu scares him)
Final Crisis #4 of 7: Things get worse. A petty criminal with a family and the right powerset may be pivotal. Turpin needs to moisturize. And Barry Allen must kiss the world to freedom.
X-Men Legacy #217: Hmmmm Wolverine’s son and Miss Sinister could be the new blood that the Hellfire Club has been sorely lacking since their initial recruits were slaughtered. Dacosta was never going to step into the role. But I could see Daken growing to be a great villain. Much more interesting than if Logan can save/redeem him.
DCUniverse Halloween Special One Shot: Cute stories, great cover, narrated by my favorite dead elongated detective Ralph Dibny and his lovely dead wife Sue.
She-Hulk #34: Jen and her best Sh’iar (don’t ask) gal pal Jazinda are joined by the OTHER Lady Liberators to bring aid to an impoverished and corrupt nation stricken by an earthquake. Plus Russia’s Winter Guard.
Runaways #3: I’ve enjoyed all the previous incarnations and this one is interesting me thus far. i AM definitely warming to the overly stylized art.
Birds of Prey #123: Joker face to face with the woman he crippled… And I can’t spoil it – read for yourself. These Platinum Flats baddies are pretty creepy. I’ll be glad to see them put down.
Ms. Marvel #32: This felt like the first 20 minutes of the Iron Man movie in drag.
Thunderbolts #125: Secret Invasion filler issue – nothing happens here that isn’t in Secret Invasion – except that it plays like a Norman Osborn propaganda film.
Final Crisis – Submit: The arrival of the endangered family of an obscure yet conflicted supervillain with JUST the right powerset to carry on Metron’s “circuit” was a bit too coincidental.
X-Factor #36: STILL LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DRAWN BY DAMNED MONKEYS!!!! No more Larry Stroman! New art team!!! I suppose that is the one good thing about the short artist runs that on most titles. When someone sucks, sometimes you can ride it out.

OMG watch Chocolate News on Comedy Central
OK with all fairness I must admit I’m a white boy raised in Nebraska in the 70’s-80s. But what I’ve seen of this show is just plain funny. And not Wayne Brady funny. Its not QUITE Dave Chapelle either, but then again hopefully David Allen Grier may not disappear practically without a trace after a few HYSTERICALLY successful seasons and a conspiracy from the highest powers of entertainment and politics.
By the way I’ve been a HUGE fan of David Allen Grier since his early days in the movie Amazon Women on the Moon – which, again in all fairness was a bit Wayne Bradyesque but still (one of my all-time favorites for years… don’t make me explain the name) – although his scenes were so well acted that I’m sure they haunt him so let me refresh any foggy memories…
Yes I carry a grudge against Dave Chapelle for wimping out. His humor challenged the world. I hope to eventually see a new season of the Chapelle Show. But until then dilute the concept with a touch of the daily show and watch Chocolate News.
In subject matter the shows are unrelated. My Comparison is more about point-of-view and the irreverent tone, albeit scaled-down.

True Believers #4
True Believers is definitely the best completely non-Secret Invasion crossover title (no skrulls as of yet) released this year.

While Payback lays in a coma fighting for her life, the deeply dysfunctional secrets of the other True Believers come to light as they attempt to take an insidious bio-weapon off the black market. Along the way they encounter an angry Armadillo and a venal Madame Hydra, who has come to the party with a lethal agenda of her own!

Falcon’s Best Men part 2 – The Wedding Party

I’m not usually all that gaga over gay for pay boys but Zeb Atlas tapping Killian’s ass seems a newsworthy event. I heard Zeb even bought Killian dinner before they shot the scene.
