Attention, fellow Kotaku Off Topic readers. This particular post is about to get nerdy. So let’s get off-topic and let’s dork out for a while.
I was just reflecting on portions of my comic book past, one that involved a whole hell of a lot of Amazing Spider-Man comic books, starting with that particular issue to the left. It was acquired, if I remember this correctly, from a grocery store for well below cover price, alongside The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (Deluxe Edition) issue 10. It was in a bin overflowing with overstocked comics priced to move at 25 cents. And I got hooked.
I went back a few hundred issues and forward a few hundred more, amassing maybe 300 issues of the series, maintaining some sort of snobbery that prevented me from reading Web Of and Spectacular Spider-Man, adhering only to Amazing. Eventually, I gave up. But I still read the occasional book and am always looking for suggestions. So let’s hear ’em.
Otherwise, the discussion is all yours. Nerd out. Be cool. Whatever.
“Percy Jackson” Star Logan Lerman In Talks To Play “Spider-Man” Lead Role, Peter Parker – I’m OK with this.
Monopoly, the “Revolution” redesign – “plays clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day,” and Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”) that play after certain actions.”
Scientists prove that teleporting energy is possible – Excellent. Now how do I convert myself to pure energy? And then the reverse?
New ketchup packet allows for dunking or squeezing – Science comes through AGAIN!
