Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Hum, so if a random private individual 'arrests' someone who commits a crime in front of them, this can count as a legal arrest as long as they're willing to testify in court about it and presumably some evidence remains of the crime in question?
Yeah, citizen's arrests are common law. Like the blog says though, if you try it you'd better be prepared to personally stop the criminal and then make sure they stay stopped, so... good luck.

You can get your license from an intensive afternoon course at the Ramada. Just don't go into the conference room next door or you'll be licensed as an alternative medicine practitioner.

Bounty hunters need a license in the same sense kitchen workers and hair stylists do.

Is there any issues of Batman/Detective Comics that deal with the legal ramifications of Batman beating up perps? One would think some perp getting beaten up and left on the cops doorsteps would be a one way trip to all charges dropped/mistrial.

Batman Annual #14 from 1990 directly addresses this as the reason why he teams up with Harvey Dent in the first place.

Somewhere in BSS I saw a panel/page of Superman flying through space with the bubble, "if you knew how loved you are, you would never strike a hand in anger again" or the like. Where's that issue from and who wrote it?

Original Sin was about a guy called The Watcher, a dude with one eye, and a dude with an eye for a head.

Clearly Axis is going to be about skulls and brains. Ghost Rider and Martha Johansson team up to fight Taskmaster and Cranio, The Man With The Tri-Level Brain.

So did he eat the brains or just put them in with his own? You'd think putting a bunch of dead brains into your head would just cause medical issues.

Well last time they combined Charles with a supervillian it sure was great and owned, as everyone agrees.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and guess that Axis ends with Charles' brain becoming aware and saving the day at the climatic moment when all seems lost.

He respects him so much in fact that he shows Supes being placated by a bit of verbal nob slobbery and gently caress right off just in time for Tommy to plug a guy.

Then Xavier takes over Red Skull's body and they just keep it like that for a while.

Anyone going to Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend or Small Press Expo the following? I'm thinking Saturday for BCC and Sunday for SPX, though the latter depends on another thing happening on Saturday, which is looking less likely.

This came up in the series. Armin Zola ( I think) was the one who did the surgery (and it seemed to be surgery) said that there would be consequences to having this brain grafted to him.

The Red Skull didn't care. I think the Red Onslaught thing arises from the downside to the brain graft.

I always see Franklin Richards listed as the most powerful "Earth-bound" mutant.

Is there an actual notable mutant more powerful out there, or is that qualifier just to be non-committal?

Ror

😸Everything's 🗞️ purrfect!💯🤟


I always thought the 'Earthbound' qualifier for Franklin was just with regards to being one of the most powerful beings, not specifically a mutant.

Any other mutants that I can think of that are possibly as powerful or not Earthbound have other additional qualifiers of their own as well, like Beyonder being Inhuman or the Phoenix Force not really being a part of Jean's mutant genetics. Rachel Summers and Scarlet Witch might get honorable mentions on mutant power lists, but I don't think either is significantly more powerful or significantly less-Earthbound than Franklin.
