snaps: Cloak & Dagger #1

... where one of my favorite couples headline a book (albeit a one-shot) after so many years, but as appended to the X-Men/Utopia mythos. Tandy Bowen, otherwise known as the hot knife that melts my butter, thinks she's a mutant and she's not accepting of the fact that she may not be, given her longing to belong. she has to make the decision to stay or go, driven by her longtime association with Cloak (who's also having his own should-i-stay-or-should-i-go issues) and their future as a tandem, rather than as part of a bigger team.

Tyrone's favorite mashup? A Clockwork Orange/Jersey Shore.


does Theo Epstein know about this?


waittaminnit -you're gay!! (which they point out two pages later)


hmmm ... The Void, anyone?


ok, stop with the mind games. have they or have they not been doing the horizontal mambo for years?


x marks the spot: so close, Santo, yet so far away.

Thor needs a spell-checker

the Karate Kid needs to have his annual eye checkup. wait, its not that Ralph Macchio.

Incredible Hercules #133 (Marvel) "Road of Trials" Fred Van Lente Greg Pak Rodney Buchemi Emily Warren Simon Bowland Rafael Albuquerque (cover) Salva Espin (variant frame cover)

Greg Pak unites with Fred Van Lente to continue chronicling the Hulk's supporting characters (Herc would kinda take offense to that), and they probably should have called this The Incredible Amadeus Cho, as Herc does not exactly make an appearance (owing to the fallout they had last issue). there is a reason that the Choster (hey, i didn't make that up) is only the 7th smartest person on Earth - the one above him (the tastefully-named Pythagoras Dupree) has him in his sights. but if he succeeds then the eight smartest person would move up the chain, no? anyway, not sure how this Dupree can back up his words because he only looks marginally better than Stephen Hawking. but he may have something to do with the murder of Cho's parents or the disappearance of his sister Marie Curie Cho (at this rate, i should start calling myself Galileo Timberlake). hmmmm. what would Herc do? yes, ask you to pull his finger.
