I Marvel...

[Mike Cl]

My favorite on-line continuing novella ... is about a tran-sexed character like your Warlock.  Being first one gender, then another, gives the character a more even perspective (see Tiresias from Greek myth).  The Empress of Time & Space is partially responsible for everything, everywhere ... kind of like a junior vice president to the CEO (G-d).  And per science fantasy, all the magic is advanced science.

Check out Heinlein's novel--I Will Fear No Evil.  A man's brain is inserted into a female body; both minds are active.

That sounds interesting, Baruch, but I do believe we have found an area of literature, in which you are completely illiterate: comic-books. Correct me if I'm wrong. You should indulge, a little. There is more than half-a-century of Marvel out there.

Sorry, but I am not overly familiar with comic books.  I did read some without paying 5 cents for them, at the store, if the clerk didn't catch me ;-)

I find the idea of being someone else, a fascinating exercise.  Perhaps the thespian in me.  I am not averse to being myself however.

I think you would enjoy I Will Fear No Evil--Heinlein is a good author.

I read Stranger In A Strange Land ... it was pretty strange all right ;-)  Thanks for the suggestion.

Stranger in a Strange Land was a little strange. For something that really stretches the limits of good taste, in postulating future morals, read Heinlein's Time Enough for Love.

Here's a collage I made from some images that are available online. I intend to make a few custom T-shirts, for myself and my family.

I grok that!

Just finished a corrected board, for my 1/12 scale Silver Surfer model, and I thought you guys might like to see the comic-book corner of my museum. The Iron-Man helmet is wearable, the Watchmen are poseable, and the rest are statues and models.

Any luck on a working arc reactor?  A prop is pretty cool, but a working model would be a lifechanger.

Does anyone know how the Cap-Nazi thing worked out, in the comics?

Well they basically did a complete 180 on the thing one month after it was released. After marvel writers making the strong claim this is real and caps always been a hydra agent, the backlash was so heavy against the writers they doubled back on their own words, and quickly resolved it as it Was the red skull using the cosmic cube to screw with reality after all (even through they tried to originally claim it didn't involve anything like reality warping).

Just another example of marvel taking the side door out of something they create, like one more day.

Someday, these comics will be a religion, that people will argue if it was real or not ;-)

"Someday" is here for me, Baby! I have a few religions, and they include Classic Rock, Sci-Fi and Marvel. But I don't have the burden that theists have, of proving it was real. Nothing is real, Baruch.

Thanks Munch. I think it's good that they backed off on that one. It was a stupid idea.
