News Roundup

Some teenager in the UK has officially changed his name to Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined. While I think that may be one of the coolest names ever, I don’t think Mr. Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined has thought this through very well. Let’s just see how much he likes his name when he purchases a house or car and his hand cramps into a permanent ball. Also, say goodbye to ever finding your name on one of those little bike license plates or mugs.

I have to admit that I was kind of surprised the other day when news came down from NBC that Jeph Loeb had been let go from Heroes. Yes, the show is an utter disapointment this season, but I thought that he was way too high up to be affected by a shakedown.

One of the best things about reading old comics is the crazy ads.  Who knew that back in the day (which was a Wednesday) that you could actually order and receive a real live monkey. This one is a cautionary tale, but we still want a monkey.
