gore '08

really, Dan Slott? the title of your latest Avengers: The Initiative installment is:



?

do the kids know this? especially since on the cover, it says Rated T+.

well, i guess kids today know a lot more than we give them credit for (the Internet, a huge playground for lawlessness and sin, which is why the damn corporations want you to pay thru the nose for the privilege of playing in the sandbox). maybe that's what the plus sign means (Teens Who Know A Lot More Than Their Parents Think).

plus this issue is chockful of violence and gore that wouldn't be out of place in the latest torture porn films (thank you, Splat Pack).


of course, noted tightass Delroy Garrett would be squeamish.








but really ... Skrull *#@%ers?? a few clicks on Google and the kids would know the origin of the word.




somewhere out there Joe Quesada is laughing.


just for myself, an entertaining read with great art by Stefano Caselli, who keeps improving as he goes along.
