Forgot to add my favourite Slade line.

On seeing a hospital ward filled with Hoagies:

"Oh great God of Robohunters, please don't do this to your old pal!"

I also have a soft spot for "Snut up," for some reason. :-)

Zenith: "Nazis from another dimension are trying to take over the world and only you can stop them?"

Halo: "Play it again, Yortlebluzzgubbly."

Grubb: "I am the mushroom! Mayor Mushroom! Please... don't eat me..."

Death: "You cannot kill what doessss not live..."

DR: "A kiss on the hand may be quite continental man, but tactical thermonuclear warfare is a guy's best friend!"

That's just from memory.
There are dozens of others, many mentioned above. I especially like one of Logan's favouorites, the "Beyond obsession" line. Actually, in the interests of fairness, was that a Millar Dredd?

They shave you, de-louse you, scare away your magic cow and then interrogate you until you punch someone in the nose.

As ever, I haven't the reference for the tale itself, but it was terrific Fabry art.

?1.40? Overpriced. We should steal them from the warehouse instead.

Now, if only I had the bus fare to Oxford...

Yes. It was mostly poor, despite the "Who's gonna mess with us?" moment.

However, Sabbat's return might make a nice eight-parter or something. Not an epic, though, please.

KILL!


Er, no.

The Ultimates was, indeed, excellent (although, admittedly, I only read the first few) and it was similarly great on the Authority.

However, after he's killed a few people, pulled a few shock moments and run some dramatic dialogue, he runs out of ideas and wanders off elsewhere to use exactly the same formula again.

I bet he looks nothing like George Clooney.
Anyone got a pic?

I keep telling you, but you don't seem to listen.

Never forget the Trout is evil...

I think I'm getting to like the yellow background.

Hyper-heroes are heroes that never shut the f*ck up, like Finnegan Sinister.

I think this cover proves Tharg's evil.

Just look at him. He's obviously thinking about boiling children in oil, or something.

"go butter your own bung, fisho"

Peevs, don't get over-excited. You know what it does to your tired old organs. :-)

Back to the point, I think whoever started this thread has simply highlighted yet another one of those Big Meg glitches born of endless plot devices.

It's what newspaper diary columns refer to as "something from the department of It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time."

Let's ask Rennie to write stories abouts Psis and birdies again. That's always entertaining...
:-p

Isn't the difference that mutation is a genetic defect, whereas psi power, although they can detect a natural propensity towards it, is harder to explain and not really a genetic issue?

Then again, I hate people who explain glitches in comics.
They should have No Prizes shoved up their arses.

Celebrated evil journalist King Troutman added, "There's nothing more fun than making up quotes to make yourself seem a bit more interesting."

I am. You're simply a pale imitation.

Peasant.

Anyway, 2K's great. It's okay to ask how to improve the comic, but not a good idea to start from the assumption it's in some way "bad."
