Don't Take Killraven Out To The Ballgame!

New York Yankees shortstop/demigod Derek Jeter is retiring after the current baseball season.

And he's a smart man, because in 2018...

...Yankee Stadium will be a little bit less pleasant than it is now:

Good riddance!

Then again, giant mutant crab-things? It looks like Yankee Stadium hasn't really changed that much...

These All Make More Sense Than Aliens Vs. Predators

To hell with Amalgamations, alternate worlds or other stuff...these are just straight up Marvel/DC crossovers I want to see:

**Nightwing Vs. The Circus Of Crime

**Killraven meets J'onn J'onzz

**Kid Eternity Vs. Thanos (and throw in Nekron, if you must)

**The Mandrill Vs. Wonder Woman

**Batman Vs. Arcade. I can't tell you badly I want to see this one...

Hmmm, this list is mostly DC heroes vs. Marvel villains. I'm not sure what to make of that...

**Black Bolt Vs. Sonar

**Ka-Zar vs. Grodd

If you don't want to see all of these, you are dead to me...

Manic Monday--Questions, I Got Questions

**So, roughly 12 seconds after being resurrected, Odin has bailed on everyone again, mostly because no one really seems what to do with him. And now "Asgardia" is ruled over by the troika of Idunn, Freyja and Gaea.

Wait, Gaea? I know she has some ties to Marvel's Asgard, what with being Thor's mother and all. But she has strong ties to other Marvel mythologies, as well--she's helping protect Earth from the Celestials, empowering Hercules during the Chaos War, defending Earth against Dormammu, cursing the Defenders, protecting Earth against Egyptian snake gods...yes, these all happened. Plus, she presumably has some ongoing duties as Earth Goddess and all. So, isn't she kinda busy to be running Asgard, too?

Yeah, yeah, I know, goddess, well-nigh infinite powers, time works differently, avatars, yada yada. Still...plus, you'd think the Asgardians might have something to say about this non-Asgardian brought in to rule over them...(of course, given the dearth of Asgardian females, they didn't have many other options than outsourcing if they wanted a troika. Valkeryie was kinda busy. Sif becoming a queen of Asgardia might have made for some interesting stories, though...)

**Remember the first story arc of the latest volume of Avengers? Where they spent 6 issues sorts kinda fighting Kang? And lots of characters and creatures were time-displaced? And they all got put back *except* Killraven? Remember how he was know stuck in present day Marvel-616?

It's almost 2 years later, and I don't think that's been so much as mentioned anywhere. Even Bendis seems to have forgotten.

So. What do you think that Killraven has been up to? Just hangin' around the ESPN Zone in New York? Got a job? Hiding during Fear Itself?

And with Killraven taken from the future, do the Martians now win? Way to go, Bendis...

**Hmmm...when Flash expends too much Speed Force energy, wormholes form and stuff gets displaced in time and space. Apparently, though, no one noticed this for the five years that Barry has been in action. And apparently it never happened during a Justice League case.

Damn, I guess Barry was just coasting all those years...

**Remember when Green Lanterns were Space Cops, dealing with Space Crime and Space Villains in their sectors?

I'll admit, I'm not reading the GL mags right now, but as far as I can tell they've spent the past 5 years or so doing nothing but fighting other colored Lantern Corps, or each other.

All I'm sayin' is, there must be a lot of happy Space Criminals out there, because the Space Cops are too busy with their color-coded silliness to stop Space Bank Robbers and Space Hitlers and stuff...

**When the FRAK is someone going to get off their butts and get all the clearances settled so the Batman '66 TV series can be released for home video?!? I swear to Odin Idunn, Freyja and Gaea that the first presidential candidate to promised me this gets my vote...

**Speaking of which, I would pay real money if it's revealed that Batman '66 is really a member of Batman Inc. That Bruce Wayne picked someone to be the Batman of Latvia or something, but, as in the Star Trek episode A Piece Of The Action, the locals get waaay to into it and decide to base their entire culture on their skewed understanding of Gotham City...Come on, Grant...
