If you haven't watched that video yet, do it now. I'll be back later to discuss strong females in comic books, because there is too much to discuss for me to get into it right now.
...but some of Neil Gaiman's characters come to mind...

I would also recommend the original four issue series from the eighties. He's not written quite like that anymore (or drawn that way, either), but it's a really fun Nightcrawler story/adventure. I believe Kurt will be featured prominently in the next arc of Uncanny X-Men, so that may be something to...

Alright, so who read the Civil War tie-in? This is probably the least 'new reader friendly' CW tie-in so far, but holy crap was it awesome! I'll let someone else do a real review of it, but if you've been liking the series so far, the new issue doesn't disappoint. Layla Miller as [spoiler]Quicksilve...

6/27 Instance: Forgiveness (even if, even if)
Being noisy, really. Doug can be a light sleeper, so if Jamie's up there on his computer, or playing video games, or arguing with his dupes, or whatever, then Doug probably won't get any sleep. And, unlike most of the rest of the mansion, Doug has a problem asking Jamie to leave his own room.

He wasn't depowered, not really. It was another one of those mental blocks he put on himself because of his self-esteem issues.

I'm a really big geek you guys.
I mean, you knew that, but really.
Every time someone asked me about today in that, 'hey, you know what's happening right?' tone of voice, I'd be - "Yeah - 62nd anniversary of the D-Day invasion at Normandy!"
...
Yeah.

His hair is indeed Hulk related! The longer it is, the stronger he is (I'm pretty sure...). The Doc Samson mini-series just ended, so you may be able to find all five issues. It's really pretty fun - a mixture of super-strength fisticuffs and super hero psychology. As for Uncanny ... can't wait to s...

Darn, wish Doug could've made it. However, the cultural differences wouldn't have happened so easily, so then it might not have been so funny to read afterward.
Now I'm just trying to picture Doug running five miles ... or even walking it all at one time.
