Diet Drinks tend to have aspertame (sp?) in them. I learned all about that little bastard while on the Atkins diet. It was an inhibitor to breaking down fat.

It is not a serious book in any way. The whole concept is to poke fun at the heroes in the Marvel Universe. Take the origin of The Captain. Two aliens looking to enhance someone come across a guy who's dialog is: "<Singing very dirty lyrics from a Sex Pistols song>"

And, back on Ellis for a second, I was wondering if you had snagged NextWave. I picked up the TPB this weekend and thought it might be something you'd get a kick out of.

The important thing is to exercise every day. It doesn't have to be a several mile run or 60 minutes of lifting weights. It can be anything above and beyond what you do in a normal day (walking for a mile, using a resistance band set at home, etc). These are the little things that will help start th...

Funny enough I've come to enjoy Gaiman's work outside of comics far more than I could ever enjoy his work in comics. (I can't think of any one title he's worked on that really stands out.) There's a lot of new people I have come to enjoy, including someone I initially hated: Garth Ennis. Speaking o...

I enjoy his stories and how he writes. Each of his books has a different style and voice. That is what I believe sets him apart from most other writers in the comics medium. He can completely re-invent how he tells a story. You read Transmet and you get a Hunter S. Thompson future-realist story. Glo...

Planetary, Transmetropolitan, NextWave (Agents of H.A.T.E.), and Fell.

There are four examples that I consider to be the best he's written.

Marvel is the one company I rarely read. About the only books that keep me interested are Ultimates and Ultimate Fantastic Four.

I remain a good little DC Drone but my favorites books are coming from Vertigo and smaller distributors. The Walking Dead is a fantastic read. Caz would love it.
