I HAS QUESTIONS

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Comics

DEAR MR. PAUL LEVITZ: 1.) I demand you immediately reprint the following in hardcover collections with exactly the type of paper I like: Wild Dog, Lords of the Ultra-Realm, the “Injustice, Unlimited” arc in Infinity Inc. which had early Todd McFarlane art, every appearance of Stalker, and a Barbie Adventures Omnibus. If you do not […]

I don’t get it.

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets, WTF

Like anybody with a blog, I deal with a reasonable amount of comment spam. My spamblocker add-ons catch most of it, and the rest I manually delete. In most cases this is a very small amount. But can somebody tell me why this post in particular gets so much goddamned spam? I get at least […]

The Law Says Slow Down

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

Just a heads-up: I am heading into final exams of first-year law school over here in Mightygodkingland, which means that posting frequency will probably drop a tad. Possibly even a peck. I’m gonna try to post at least one item a day, because I’ve got my pride, but it’ll probably be definitely lighter-than-average stuff for […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: Mysto (Magician! Detective!)

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Every Thursday, mightygodking.com returns to the pages of Who’s Who, the classic 1980s DC comic book encyclopedia of their characters. Every week, a character shall be judged on the only scale scientific enough that matters: the Rex The Wonder Dog scale of fantasticosity. Mysto is quite possibly the first ever character whose spectacular origin actively […]

Yes.

Posted by MGK Published in Law

Over at Obsidian Wings, commenter Sebastian (not ObWi poster Sebastian Holsclaw, but an entirely different Sebastian) made the following comment, which needs greater spreading-about because it is completely true. So: Yoo is legal realism taken to its natural endpoint. He illustrates exactly the worst of what is wrong with the profession in the US, but […]

From The Department of What The Crap Was That

Posted by MGK Published in It's The Youtube, Politics, WTF

Via Alasdair Watson, we have this fine campaign video starring Mike “The Latest Crazy Old Guy To Be The Libertarian Party Candidate For President” Gravel. (I think it’s a rule that the Libertarian candidate has to be at least 65, white, and unreasonably privileged.) I know it’s a trial, but try to watch the whole […]

This Is Not My Fault!

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write The Legion

Blame Greg Morrow for this one, and I’ll just quote him in the email he sent me: You should write a “Why I should write LSH” about Starro. Pro or con. The Star Conqueror lies at the heart of DC Comics’ appeal, viz., it’s an adorably goofy idea that you can’t explain to a non-comics-reading […]

“Veronica Lodge And The Gay Men”

Posted by MGK Published in Archie (Improved Or Otherwise), Bad Comedy, Comics

Thanks to Karen, I have fresh Archie to analyze today! First off, Gary and Gerald are obviously gay. I mean, look at them. They are flamboyant beefcakes! Compare them to Archie, your classic heterosexual stringbean, the bodily definition of a straight male in this comics world. Tack on Veronica’s belief that Gary and Gerald think […]

Incidentally.

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

I’ve seen the sentiment expressed elsewhere that Paul Levitz has been personally involved in attempting to keep the Siegel estate from collecting their share of Superman’s copyright. Let me say without even the slightest reservation that this is crap. Greg Morrow details how Levitz was personally involved in seeing that DC increased Siegel and Shuster’s […]

Making Fun of Conservative Chicks Is The New Pink

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Politics

That “hey, here are conservative chicks talking about dating” post is like kryptonite to boringness! Sadly, No! already beat me to making fun of Cassy “revenues are the new profits” Fiano, but the good news is that Karol Sheinin of Alarming News is ripe for funnin’! Here she is, talking about the Barack Obama race […]
