Tulloch has been excellent in the role of Lois, and the show has overall done a great job with Lois (best Lois since the DCAU). Overall, this show has done a great job showing the heart at the center of Superman/Clark Kent--again, the best way since the DCAU. This show isn't perfect (primarily due to pacing), but I'm really impressed with it.

Sadly I don't have an 8, but I do have a 23 (probably in a 3-4), and I wonder how it'll do. Likely to hold it now and wait to see when the character pops up again.

I was really pleased with this show. The finale, especially, introduced Kang in a great way, sticking with "He Who Remains" while slyly referring to "Conqueror" for the comics fans, continuing the MCU tradition of sometimes being coy with the traditional names at times. Really good setup for Season 2, and for what comes next in the MCU more broadly.

Well, I'm a Redskins fan. That should give you an example.

Fair enough. I just want to challenge the relevancy of that, but I recognize what you're trying to do. Things like the modern social safety net didn't exist when the country was founded (hell, it didn't exist until the 1930s at the earliest), so I just want to push back on the importance of these types of arguments.

Sure--I just wanted to make the record clear that there's a difference between what the Founders may have wanted (which is all very speculative), what actually happened, and most especially what has been legal. It's also, to me, totally irrelevant what the Founders wanted--they wanted a lot of things that we absolutely should not pursue as policy goals today, and the fact that patricians in 1789 wanted them is not an endorsement.

Both of those things are factually incorrect. There was paper currency throughout the early Republic--it was just backed by gold. Additionally, there were income taxes prior to the 16th Amendment--during the Civil War, for example, via the Revenue Act of 1864 (which was upheld by Springer v. United States, 102 U.S. 586 (1881)), as well as the income tax coming out of the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act, which was struck down in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, 157 U.S. 429 (1895). The latter decision was the inspiration for the 16th Amendment itself.

I treat all the shows advertised on Shoff's website as the same. All great shows.

I'll take this opportunity to, once again, shout the BB28 is undervalued.

Wish I could go, but I'll be out of town. Can't wait for the August show, though.

Didn't Avengers 55 crash following Ultron? It hit pretty high highs, and hasn't climbed back up.

I'm glad this film exists, and I was glad to watch it. It wasn't perfect, by any means--the villain was underwhelming, the opening scene (especially) was overdone, and some of the drama was overwrought. But after waiting 16 months for this movie, I was happy to see it.

That's what I'm doing with sports cards. If a similar price correction happens with comics i'm going on a spree.

By comparison, sports cards have seen a significant correction basically throughout the market. Nothing of the sort seems to have happened here.

Yeah I'm not complaining one bit.

Looking forward to getting rid of this book at multiples of what I paid early this year.

Surprising lack of key books on the Detective side.

I'd never noticed that before. That's quite funny; surely by 1947 the T-Rex was well known enough that this error shouldn't have happen.

I think Reeve's portrayal is definitely the dominant influence, and Hoechlin is a worthy heir to that role.

That definitely makes it more likely, although I'm not convinced that's him in that scene (which is of course separate from appearing in the movie itself). But, hey, it is certainly possible.

I'm not ruling Wong out, but that seems like kind of a big thing to give away in the trailer (when you're already revealing Abomination's return), and they don't clearly show his face or anything.

Any random sorcerer? I'm not sure it's Wong either.

I'll be very interested in this book. I consider it a hugely underrated D.C. key, and Two-Face is, to my mind, #3 on the list of Batman's villains (behind only the Joker and Ra's al Ghul. Of course it won't come near the highest prices for the other Promise Detective books, but I'm very curious nonetheless to see how it does.

I'm still very sold on this show. The best portrayal of Superman since the DCAU (S:TAS + JL + JLU). I'm thrilled.
