Giffen had such an impact on my comic habits. His work with Paul Levitz, cemented my love of the Legion of Superheroes (and my disdain for most of the reboots to follow (looking at you Bendis and Waid).
Super bummed by this.

How he broke into comics is almost as funny as his writing.
There was a small part of me that was hoping that he would reunite with Tom and Mary Bierbaum on LSH.

Anyone see Ryma, the Yellow Ase Dai who got, um, damaned, (is she a book character, btw?) amidst the battle and eventual rubble?
I know the sitter for the Blue Ajah was there.

MCU Hawkeye seems a little more rooted in the Ultimate Hawkeye, but tinged with a dash of actual humanity...but that's my impression.
The Fraction 616 Hawkeye though...that's actually some really fine writing. I thought it was a fantastic take on the character, giving him some much needed context that might have been present in the past, but never really explored.
I wouldn't mind a live-action Kate Bishop vs Madame Masque

Very belatedly reading Hawkeye: The Saga of Barton and Bishop by Matt Fraction and David Aja.
So this is where the Tracksuit Mafia came from? And Pizza Dog?
While I grew to appreciate MCU Clint Barton more because of the tv series, I'm sure he might have been more memorable in the Avengers movies if he'd been portrayed as a ne'er-do-well who cares like he was in Fraction's graphic novel.

She always seemed like one of those people who'd go on forever.

In the original story, Thawne has some technical babel, about how breaking the speed barrier causes changes in the timeline, ever so slightly, but enough to throw things out of wack.
Yeah, in the animated version, Eobard (I betcha it's that name that caused him to go whacko ) called it um..."time wave"? "Time bomb"? Whatev.
Actually, the original timeline was the one where Barry's mom wasn't killed (before Geoff Johns decided DC didn't have enough characters with parental issues) butI'm not gonna follow that train of thought.

Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell.
I just started and considering where and when it's set, I keep seeing the actors in that Beatles music based movie Across the Universe as some of the characters in this book.

I dunno if anybody here has read or heard about Abraham Reisman's bio of Stan Lee True Believer but if anyone has and is feeling disillusioned here's Roy Thomas's pushback.

Bran was just sitting around being significant and warging some crows to see battle progress but tell no one about it.
I'm sorry but when I read that, I suddenly thought of Robert Mueller.

North, apparently. He said as much to Cersie.
Going to be an chilly reunion between he and Bran though.
Chilly reunions are Bran's specialty. I expect he'll give Jaime the "I wouldn't be what I am today if it weren't for you" speech.

They do this every time. They have me exasperated with the show for majority of the season, then they blow me away (and not just with spectacle).

5. One or two awesome scenes and entertaining dialogue among the seven who went beyond the Wall does not a great penultimate episode make.

Wrong thread.

I just came to the somewhat belated realization that wights are GoT's equivalent of Orcs - in as much as they're these guys that one can enjoy watching being fried without conflict , guilt ,or thought.
Which is one more reason for me to rate this below "Spoils of War".
But hey, ice dragon!
Watch, Watched, Watching: It's Award Season

Rewatching Daredevil Season 1 mainly 'cause it seems Born Again will be closer to it in tone and I won't have to feel too much pangs of longing for the Netflix series when it finally arrives . Also, Bullseye.
I've seen contradictory reports as to whether Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will be back -and if they are, it will be in a limited capacity(?).
I guess it might be too much to hope Marci will be back as well but I am hoping nonetheless ('cause I keep thinking of her in those pumps).
Seeing Kingpin again in DD S1, and the somewhat altered version in Hawkeye, and the one in Echo , I find myself a bit tired of him but what the hell, he's still better than some of the fingers of the Hand.
That reminds me, I wouldn't mind seeing Madam Gao again.
