I think the most extreme thing about sex in the books is, in addition to the frequency of incest, the vast age differences of the people involved. I mean Dany was what, 13/14 in the books when she was married to Drogo? So the television show is less extreme than the books because it a little less shocking in that way.
That does sound extreme, but like Vince, I like art that challenges me. It just always seems like someone is going to or coming from a whorehouse. that guy telling his sister (sorry I don't have the names down yet), that if it would gain him an army he would let 40,000 Dothrakians fuck her. The crazy sister thing and her kid, etc, etc. Did you guys notice that King Roberts kid is the same kid that Batman gave his Bat-vision doohickey too in Begins?

Just read "Herc" #3- I'm still on the fence. I love the concept of a God who has lost his immortality walking around with ancient powerful magical weapons. It's like Kratos, but in modern day Marvel New York. But there is still something missing. I guess if I'm on the fence after three issues, I should just drop it?
Just read "Venom" #2- It's dope! It's like Spider-man mixed with a little of The Punisher, then throw in some Shield guys. Remender and Moore are kicking ass as usual. Plus Kraven is my favorite Spidey villain. I'm glad he's back and hanging around again the Marvel U.
"Batman & Robin" #23- Also good! I love Judd Winnick's Red Hood. Small problem though, did they just retcon his hair color? Jason Todd has always been black haired, in this issue he's a total ginger! His beard is red too so you can't just say it's dye! Weird, and brings up more retconning questions.

As funny as it sounds from someone that's a fan of the medium, don't insult my intelligence. Don't take the cheap and uncreative way out and tell me it happened between issues.
So with this in mind, where do you stand on Bullseye? Is every appearance ruined for you now until a writer throws in a panel of the Hand (or someone) resurrecting Bullseye? Or can you compartmentlize this story because it was published by Epic? Here's a question just for my own clarification:

G.I. Bill.
Get your Seal Team 6 on.
I'm getting the post 9/11 GI bill right now and it's the shit. Tuition, fees, books, and an nice little monthly living expense. Or if your kid is smarter than me (they prolly are, it's not sayin' much), they can do ROTC.

Nice, my wife is at a training center this week for FEMA in Alabama. There going over disaster protocols and drills for various hospital responses. Every day I keep asking her if they've gone over the zombie threat yes and sadly in the event of a Zombie apocalypse FEMA will not be ready.Travis
They're not ready for anything anyway. So what's your Zombie Apocalypsy plan? Zombie survival guide says to stockpile goods and then wait out the intial panic and hysteria. After everything has calmed down you should then head north, and live amongst the wilds in Canada. Zombies freeze in the winter.
