I get it .You think mythology ended with the Yowie or maybe with the tales from Homer .Comic books are modern mythology. They show us a world ordinary and extraordinary.;natural and supernatural. Just as ancient man used stories of gods and monsters to explain the world, modern man uses stories of godlike heroes and monstrous villains to do the same.The illustrations are as complex or more so than the work of many artists revered . I read comics because I appreciate the art work and the story lines.

Scripture tells us there is a time for putting aside childish things, but Stan Lee resurrected this world of myth. I have no need of modern day gods anymore than I had need of ancient ones, as for the yowie, that is a stone age myth

Continued would be a more accurate word than resurrected. Comic books and the spin offs from them have always been a popular genre of entertainment, and one can say informative and educational, as well as a reflection of the social contemporary commentary.

My parents and grandparents read comics to me before my nap times. It was one of the ways I learned early how to read and learned about characters interacting with each other and their environment. Rabbit hunter Elmer Fudd hunting Bugs Bunny, Uncle Scrooge swimming in his wealth, cowboys and bad guys, and the good vs. evil in superhero comics. Lessons about life.

tell me which President hasn't sucked up to a ME tyrant ? Please ! The emperor was sending plane loads of cash to the 12ers in Tehran to appease them.

[talaniman]

That's what conservatives and repubs like to say, but we all know it was there money frozen in US banks because of sanctions. It was returned after the nuclear deal. You know that Tom, so why join the right wing holler machine?

[tomder55]

I would've diverted all the funds to the Green Movement . But the emperor turned his back on them in his quest to make Iran the regional hegemon and to "negotiate " a nuclear deal that the 12ers violated before the ink was dry . Don't deny it .

[paraclete]

What is this obscession with Iran, OK they escaped the US hegemon and upset your regional foreign policy but you should get used to it because others will do the same. All nations should be free to pursue their national interests as long as it doesn't lead to war. The Chinese have thumbed their nose at you and will do what they want to despite your threats. Russia will do the same

Manafort violates plea deal.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/pa...hp_minor_po

Manafort and Papadopoulos are small potatoes .

[paraclete]

The Russian action is worrying but it is a local issue, what Manafort does is of little consequence, we should look upon Meuller as past tense now

[talaniman]

Manafort is a career international criminal with deep ties to powerful Russians and mobsters. I would lie to Mueller too, if asked about anything to do with Russia since no place is safe from Vlad The Impaler, not even a secure prison!

About Vlad, his taking control of the seas is no surprise since he already controls the land, and its clearly an expansion of Russian authority.

[tomder55]

We are now supposed to believe that Manafort went to see Julian Assange 3 times to coordinate the release of the hacked emails of the DNC ;and no one knew about it until now .

[talaniman]

Vlad knew, he is the one who stole them... DUH!

[tomder55]

Vlad certainly knew .Podesta's and Evita's emails were an open book for a novice hacker ;let alone Wikileaks . .

If Manafort went to see him it is easily verifiable and CNN would've reported about it months ago.

I’m sure the deal is that Manafort has to lie and say the info came from the Russians, and then to Assange; and not from the DNC (ie Seth Rich...but as Evita says "dead men tell no tales "). If he does that, he gets a sweetheart deal on his sentence.

If he doesn’t, he spends the rest of his life in prison, is bankrupted, along with the rests of his family.That’s called Justice, in the Land of the swamp.

Trump must declassify everything before Mueller's final report .

Can't wait to read that FINAL report
