Now, THAT’S what I’m talking about. I first learned about Ego from the Marvel trading cards, and I’ve had a soft spot in my heart for him ever since.

Ego for president!

You should have shown Ego’s anti-bodies, they were cool.

Sometime you should do a special ‘reason to love’ feature on Lee-Kirby between the summer of 65 and the summer of 67, a period that saw a whole lot of bizarre creativity above and beyond the Living Planet.
Somebody was slipping something significant into Mr. Kirby’s cigars during that period, methinks.

Well, I don’t know enough gay, Latino teenagers to really have a solid opinion on them. But they don’t really offend me anyway, so I suppose we’re cool. I know enough about Morrissey and his fans to have one, so hence, my previous statements.

Also, I went back and reread that article about Morrissey’s fan base, and he actually has more of a Latino following then a gay-Latino following. Not that the gay community doesn’t embrace Mister Chastity, but to me, Morrissey being a sort of Latino icon is even more intersting than being a gay icon. So color me corrected on my previous statement.

Can Morrissey be a reason to love comics? I’m sure Grant Morrisson has written a comic called “Meat is Murder” or “Irish Blood, English Heart.”, hasn’t he?

Adam Jones: I was surprised that you did not state that you were cool with the gay latino teens the way you are cool with Morrisey.

I am beginning to suspect that Jeff Parker himself should be one of the 365 reasons to love comics.

Oh and Mogo would kick Ego’s organic ass around the block even without the ring. After all he has survived his current storyline in GL Corps.

Hulk shouting, â€œEarth just want to be friends,â€

…and there’s a 24-karat gold-plated Reason to Love Comics, right there.

@ Anun:

“But thereâ€™s something about the aloof unattainable guy that drives some women wild. You know, like Morrissey. Mogo might have an advantage there.”

Are you saying gay Latino teens are into Mogo?

And there is my “muisc nerd and sociology fact of the day.”

Also, that in no way was a dig against Morrissey or gay, Latino teens. I love Morrissey and am neither gay, a Latino, or a teenager. It’s just weird that his fan base is comprised with a rather large percentage of them.

Oh..and uh…Ego is pretty cool..and other things that tie into this post…

Oh, totally. Every page of Jeff Parker’s Avengers vs. Ego story is brilliant–from calling the moon a “shorty”, to Hulk shouting, “Earth just want to be friends,” right up until the wonderful bit on the last page with Giant-Girl (“Calm down, Janet.” “Oh, so you’re on HIS side, are you?”)

Absolutely top form, from a writer who’s doing some excellent work in the Marvel Adventures line.

That Marvel Adventures story made me laugh so much.
Damn, that’s some good stuff.

Most certainly Ego sees more action than Mogo, who, as mentioned before, doesn’t socialize.

But Mogo, being a GL and all, would kick Ego’s hilly arse. Without the ring, though, I think that Ego’s larger experience fighting cosmic menaces like Galactus would give him the victory.

And this must be the weirdest “who’d win?” discussion I have seen…

Best,
Hunter (Pedro BouÃ§a)

Not to be a… well, actually, YES, I am going to be a pit-nicker.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatee

will hopefully convince you all that it IS IMPORTANT to note that (as near as i can tell from the colouring), Ego is sporting a circle beard, not a goatee.

The former being defined by moustache and beard being joined by hair, the latter not. Though admittedly there are gradations inbetween that are debatable.

God, it is late and I need something constructive to do…

sincerely,

A frequent Circle-beard-bearer

I’m trying to figure how out how Ego fits in the whole “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” paradigm.

We need an ML Ego BAF. Now.

Who wins in a fight: Mogo or Ego?

Now what if Mogo doesn’t have his GL ring?

Seeing as how Mogo doesn’t socialize, I’m thinking Ego is probably the bigger ladies’ planet.
