(no subject)

So...I read the Civil War arc from Marvel Comics. At least, most of it. Including the bits about the Sentry (whose real name is Bob) which are, I shit you not, an entire comic book of some blond dude sitting in outer space, talking to himself. Kind of like my blog only less interesting.

ANYWAY, I then made an offhand remark to Claire about how Spider Man is possibly the most homoerotic comic series ever, because Spider Man doesn't even need a buddy to be gay with like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. He's just there. On his own. With images like this:

And this:

And then there's the part where he asks Captain America if he can carry his school books.

Claire has not read the Civil War arc and had many questions.

This, therefore, is my retelling of Marvel Civil War, with occasional assistance from amand_r. Picture the three of us standing outside a bar and me doing this while I explain it:

(I promised her I'd put a picture of Fassbender smoking in this post. I didn't dare ask why.)

( All the spoilers. )

Sam: I feel like I should quote this thread on my journal. Like, "I READ CIVIL WAR. Here is my retelling of it."
Claire: Only if my passionate objections of RATIONALITY are included! I know without any experience writing comic books that I would write good and better comic books than all those who came before me.
Mandr: AND I HELPED! MINIMALLY AND IN EITHER CAPS OR LACK THEREOF.
