@dabee: So expecting them to rescpect the source material is racism? Am i racist for wanting characters in the screen to look like they do on the source material? ok, they might as well make Galactus a cosmic cloud inste- oh crap.

The source material doesn't include race, it has to do with the story. If they made the Human Torch a robot from the future that uses ice as a weapon instead of fire, that would be drifting from the source material. Johnny Storm's whiteness isn't part of the story at any point. Hawkeye is blonde, nobody complained when Jeremy Renner (a brunette) completely killed it playing him. (Killed it is a good thing, in this case.) Iron Man was originally kidnapped by Vietnamese militants, nobody complained when it was middle-eastern extremists. Batman was originally a drawing on paper, but Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian BALE? All of them actually, organic, living, breathing HUMANS! Did people complain about this major inconsistency? No, it didn't matter just like Hawkeye's hair, Iron Man's kidnappers, or Batman's media incarnation. The same is true of Torch's race. Skin color is just a feature, which doesn't define a character in the slightest unless it does. (In this case, it doesn't.)

So, yes. It is racist to want the character to remain white.

Read this, everyone who thinks it's not racist: This.

Personally Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye was my only real problem with the Avengers. I thought he was pretty boring and dull in the movie. In my opinion of course.

Like I said I don't really care all that much if the character is portrayed by Michael B. Jordon. I haven't seen him in anything before, so just going off what people are saying he seems like a decent actor. However I don't think people who want the character to be portrayed by someone who is white are racists.

@master_thief: Donald Glover

Donald Glover is awesome, I really enjoyed Amazing Spider-Man but I kind of hope Spidey 4 has Donald Glover as a older Miles Morales as Spider-Man. That'd be great. Actually Donald Glover seems like he could pull off Human Torch.

Regarding this, the movie sounds like a horrible adaption. The premise I saw on IGN, sounded like a completely new idea . So really they could cast just about any one they want, because it(if going by the strange premise with Ben and Reed having grown up in government facilities and being used by the government or whatever) will only be FF in name. Which is pretty lame for FF fans.

You didn't like Batman's voice? That's weird. He's being voiced by Kevin Conroy.

Blaspheme we shall hang him for his crimes against Kevin Conroy Batman

I KNOW! Kevin Conroy is my favorite Batman(maybe second to DBB from Batman the Brave and the Bold), but his voice here just felt...boring. Rather generic. Maybe it's just me. It was just the demo so maybe it's better in the game.

Hey!

Due to the suggestion of the podcast I finally decided to give Assassins Creed a try! I got Assassins Creed: The Ezio Trilogy! It's fantastic. I'm currently AC 2. I tried looking for Mass Effect but couldn't find any copies of the first game. There was 1-3 altogether, but luckily my friend has the game and will let me borrow it. If I like it I'll buy Mass Effect 2-3. Sara I recall you mentioned once that you watch Reven8e on ABC. What do you think of this season? I'm a few episodes behind(due to TWD), but am a little disappointed in the lack of actual revenge.

James, so happy you brought back Judomaster! Would you ever consider doing a Congorilla and Starman(Mikaal) mini/maxi/ongoing series? The duo was great in JLA, and I'd really like to see them get their own series. I'm really happy the two still exist post reboot.

What do you all think of the Teen Titans Go(!) cartoon that's coming up? I think a lot of people are just trash talking it because Young Justice got cancelled. There has only been like a minute of miscellaneous footage, and I don't think anyone could make a valid judgment on the show. I'm excited as the original Teen Titans show is one of the main reasons I read comics, and hope it turns out well.

A while back I asked if any of you watch Dexter. Corey said that he heard the show went down hill after S-4, and I agree(somewhat). However you all have to watch Season 7. In my opinion it's the best season of them all. It has wonderful writing, and great acting from Yvonne Strahovski and Ray Stevenson. Easily my favorite of the seasons, with my favorite villain(Isaak), and one of my favorite Dexter characters(Hannah). Also a certain fan favorite character makes a surprise appearance via flashbacks in the finale.

Corey, Kingdom Hearts 3D had a Hunchback of Notre Dame world. What did you think of Chew issue thirty two??

Hope you all had a happy Easter(if you celebrate it) and thanks for answering the questions!

I'm actually really angry. Nothing happened. It took 51 minutes for Andrea to reach a set of plyers.

The advertisement for the episode was better than the actual episode. The war scene we were promised was 7 minutes long and ended with The Governor retreating. Absolute bullsh*t on every level.

Every other subplot was clearly thought up to chew up running time so they could justify putting this together as an episode.

It wasn't even a finale. Nothing was resolved.

SPOILERS

Totally agree. I was yelling at the tv screen every time Andrea looked at Milton. Like c'mon, if he turns into a zombie she dies, but staring at him every thirty seconds sure isn't going to increase her chance of survival. He was pretty much dead already, talking to him did nothing but ensure her death. What the hell happened with the Governor? I was sure that Karen chick was going to be Lilly Caul.

Totally agree. Month after month it impresses me. It's the only Superman book I'm currently reading. I like Morrison but Action didn't do much for me, and well I think I've expressed my feelings on Lobdell's writing before. Easily one of my favorite books.

Not a fan of Arrow.  I had high hopes but just ended up being disappointed.  It has some good episodes but a lot of them are just meh.

I bet it's Clayface.

@Mercy_: 
As much as I'd like to see Scandal I don't think she'd fit in this book very well.  However based off that cover it appears that we may be seeing the return of Secret Six alumni Tremor from the Reptile Brain story.
