Major Tom. Finally I can close this tab!

You know, I joined LJ to comment on

karentraviss 's journal. I'd considered doing it for

baxil too, but... Anyway, at the time I loved KT's books. Her clones. As time went on, though, I slowly changed my mind. I really, really don't like her books. Wess'har or Star Wars. I'm not sure why. Partly it's because I literally can't empathize with her characters, I can neither identify with them or admire them. And the constant "This culture is AWESOME and SO MUCH BETTER than any other" really got to me. I don't like wess'har society or Mandalorians. I stopped enjoying the books a year ago.

So I'll finally say it. I hate Shan! I hate Etain! Shan never lets up with being a hard-ass and creeps me out! Etain has no spine and no concept of loyalty! I don't see why Jedi are so inferior to Mandalorians! I never have! There.

Clones are still cool, though. Stormtroopers are still cool. I loved Allegiance.

So here's numerous clone troopers being unspeakably awesome set to "Chosen Ones".

I'm going to try out a

scans_daily post here, then copy-paste it, since I've heard about cut problems.

Marvel Adventures: Avengers #20. "Mountain From An Anthill"; alternately, Giant-Girl's Relationship Problems.

I went and bought MA:A digest number six. It... It scanned badly, so I uh, I... tore the pages out. *wince* I feel terrible about that, frankly. It tore mostly pretty well, and for once I have good scans, of a good size. This is an entire issue's worth - there are four per digest, and I like them all, but only two of them really caught my eye. Here's one. Not dial-up safe at all.

Oh, Spidey. You're adorable. Ironically, Ultron actually appeared in the first MA:A ish, and Pym had nothing to do with him. He's the government's fault for trying to become independent of superheroes.

They remembered that Spidey's a nerd!

Spidey, you have sticky fingers! That's not supposed to happen!

Kind of buff for a scientist, isn't he?

Falling in love with the hired help, huh?

You'd think that using Pym Particles on friends and allies would happen a lot more in comics. *shrug*

I really like that page, frankly. Anthills were fascinating when I was six, and I guess they've still got a little power over me.

The digest didn't want to let go of this page at all. Still, easier than magazines.

I like Giant-Girl. Don't have much opinion one way or another of her as the Wasp, but she's cool in MA. If I was in the target audience, I'd love her to bits.
