The Thing That Walks Like a Man and I haven't been able to hang out much lately, thanks to the omnipresence of Personal Matters, but he still finds the time to innundate my inbox with gems like this.
While it would seem to be of limited amusement value to anyone not familiar with the first Marvel "Secret Wars" limited series from the 1980s, there's plenty of nerdery on display to provide some needed schadenfreude for the comics layperson. The kid in the Wolverine costume and Dr. Doom getting a quick smoke in before returning to action alone are comedy gold, to say nothing of Kang providing tech support to his mom.
As for my own credentials...I'll just say that when "Thor" was arguing with "Mr. Fantastic" that the Hulk might as well have been fighting Fin Fang Foom when he was erroneously matched up against Doc Ock, I thought "Fin Fang Foom wasn't in 'Secret Wars'" to myself a full second and a half before Mr. Fantastic said it.
And the "Crisis" group at the end? Outstanding.
The L.A. Times is a better link with the story they picked up from AP:
Tag!
Sorry to tag you, but it's your own fault because you're interesting! The Suburban Goddess has requested your presence at her blog...

Christ, I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. My secret shame!
Hey Pete. I'm surprised this hasn't been broadcast more widely on television and throughout the Internet, but Hollywood Reporter columnist Howard Burns reported that Scott Brazil of "The Shield" died Tuesday.
