The Question has Brobdingnagian distaste.

Jun 12, 2007

The Onion’s AV club lists the 10 most wonderfully weird moments in Fantastic Four comics. A great list — and I’m pleased to see that all but one are from either the original Jack Kirby run or the 1980s John Byrne run. Kevin and I think they missed one, though: the issue where the Sub-Mariner traps the FF by disguising himself as a movie producer and luring them to a trap-filled Hollywood set!
Fantastic quote from the Justice League Unlimited cartoon: The Question tells Lex Luthor “Although my distaste for you as a human being is Brobdingnagian, what I’m about to do isn’t personal.” That is bad-ass that they said Brobdingnagian. Even better than when Batman quotes Watchmen to Green Arrow.
Ptolemy is coming with me to see Morrissey on June 30 even though Ptolemy’s distaste for Morrissey is Brobdingnagian. That makes him a good person to go with. I can’t articulate this, but it’ll be like Ptolemy in charge of being hesitant about liking Morrissey and I can just sort of let that part of myself go and enjoy the show.
I enjoyed playing this all-text game in which you are a ghost placing intentions on various humans.

I’m looking forward to a report on what kind of traffic you get from having a category called “nerd boners.”

Another great aspect of that FF story is that the FF has no money because resident genius, Reed Richards, lost all his money in the stock market.
Stick to making rocket ships and gateways to the negative zone Reed!
