I haven't read comics in years. Someone just leant me watchmen and it blew me away. Any modern comics hold a candle to the mature smart storylines of that graphic novel? Where should i start? I will second Maus and Sandman, which have already been mentioned. I'll also bring up Fables, if you ever loved the REAL fairy tales (not the Disney ones). Good, long-running story arcs. In all honesty, check out a lot of the long-running series put out by Vertigo, which includes Fables, Sandman, Y: The Last Man, DMZ, and a host of other good ones.

Is it time for America to have a new superhero? If you mean, is it time for Americans to look up and find a new hero to love, rather than the same ones they've generally loved the last fifty years? Then I'd say Iron Man may be that new hero- not that he's a new character, but until the recent movie he wasn't really well known. If you mean, is it time for a new superhero to be created in the comics- well, there are...

Do any of you adults on AB still play video games? Do you even have time to? I actually set aside about a half-hour to an hour a week to play and unwind a bit while my wife is still at work and I beat her home. The only way I have time to is to set it aside, and I do that to purposely do something not absolutely necessary- otherwise it's always work or cleaning or taking care of the kids.

Do you prefer to see an opera performed in English or in its original language, even if you don't understand the lyrics? I'd have to go with the original language; music is generally more powerful in the original medium it was intended for, and that includes language. That being said, if I don't know at least the general idea of what's being said, I won't be able to stand it for the entire length of the opera- I hope a translation's in the program!

What is a 1982 Silver Edition Superman C A six-part comic book series- does it have a title besides "Superman"? Unless it has silver foil on the cover (which I doubt; foil covers were more in the mid-90's), it's probably worth not a whole lot. It's a bit early for the speculator boom, which means it might actually net you $10-$15 as opposed to nothing if it was just five years older, but most comics from...

Another a couple of weeks. The difference? Experience. The first girl was my first love, and I was convinced I'd never have another. Nothing could distract me from my depression. The other was my THIRD love, and I knew that I'd get over it and be able to find someone else eventually.

Can a girl live normal without having a b/f? Absolutely! My wife never dated until college, so a teenage girl (assuming what you mean, since the questions was asked under "Teenagers") can certainly do so. It may seem like everyone hooks up with someone, but it's not true. Just enjoy being who you are, and if someone looks appealing to you, go after them. "Normal" does not mean "in a relationship."

Do you think God could just be around the planet earth and not around the universe? That way it would be possible for many different Gods to coexist. According to this theory, then, there would still be only one God in charge of humanity, so there would only be one God to worship for us, at least until we got out into the universe. Good thought for a sci-fi story, though.

Social structures within society may encourage citizens to commit crime. Reports show that much crime is economic, and much of that can be prevented by ensuring that everyone has enough to live on. My question is ; Does Economics determine ethics? I'd say no- though economics may well influence "necessary crime" in places that do not have any form of welfare. If economics determined ethics- as in, the poorer you were, the more you'd commit crime- then corporate heads would be the most ethical people in the planet.

Was Robin ever female in any Batman comic? Yes! In The Dark Knight Returns (ask in any comic shop, they'll be able to help) set in the future, a girl becomes the new Robin after Batman comes out of retirement. Also, for a short period about three or four years back, Stephanie Brown became a replacement Robin, and apparently died after a short period of time.

Answer to:
In general, do men create less drama than women? Why? If you mean TV dramas, I'd say it's more 50/50. :) Speaking of drama in real life- I think men tend to bury things more than women typically do; if something bothers us, we'll either deal with it or just not deal with it. This leads to less short-term drama. On the other hand, burying something can lead to major issues down the road... and its own type of drama!

Anyone who's read the comic obviously knows more, but public perception is important for a movie to succeed. And that public image leads to what movie execs think...

Do you have to be alone sometimes to feel rejunivated in your mind like going for a walk alone or do you do better with someone with you or both? Normally both; I need my social time, I need time with just my wife, and I definitely need time just to myself. The mix changes per my mood, and I find I need less social time as I get older, but all the above are necessary for me, at least for now.

He killed himself in despair because of that- and because he refused to accept the forgiveness, that gift sat...

If you mean, specifically, the resurrection: It's because it is central to Christianity, and no one has ever been able to shove him back into the tomb.

Answer to:
In biblical times, Jews were separated in groups specific to their beliefs (Pharisees, Sadducees, and Zealots). However, during the arrest, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus, something different is going on among these groups. I don't know what. Ideas? They all did believe different things; they were all different sects that espoused some very different beliefs. Yet, nothing will bind men together like hate. They all hated Jesus, because he had told them all that they were in the wrong. And so, to get rid of the thorn in their side, they banded together to kill him.

Depends on the problem- if the problem is an apartment that should be condemned, moving should solve the problem for you! If the problems are focused on relationships, though, they will likely follow in one way or another- if nothing else, than in your own heart. If the problem is a supervillain trying to get revenge on you for thwarting his scheme, he will most certainly try to follow.

When you were little, how many kids did you want when you grew up? How many kids do actually have? We plan on as many as God blesses us with, but we're only hoping for two or three- my wife would be fine with four, as well. We currently have one very loved little boy.

My boyfriend and i are getting married when i turn 19. but I'm afraid that i will get pregnant on our honeymoon because i don't want him to uses a condom because i want it to feel official. what should i do to prevent this? My wife and I had the same concern- and she ended up going on "the patch" which is a patch that adheres to skin a week at a time, three weeks out of the month. It works very similarly to the pill, but is harder to forget (at least for her). She was on it about a year, and then we decided we would stop and see if we would be blessed with a child. And so we were.

What was Jesus speaking of when He said "it is finished" from the cross? His sacrifice for sins was completed- and completion is also in the idea of the Greek verb used there (really hard to translate completely into English!). He no longer had to suffer- all the sins of the world had been paid for by his sufferings. Now, all that remained was the confirmation of his sacrifice on Easter morning!

If the three guys continue to follow and harass, call the cops. If at all possible, buy the old guy lunch.

However, in daily life, it can be so very useful. It can guide to new ideas or save from boredom while doing tedious tasks.

Answer to:
I found out I am pregnant. Before I knew I was, I've had a few cocktails every weekend for the first month. Is my baby going to be harmed? We weren't trying to get pregnant. If we were, I would have gone on the wagon. Your baby will likely be fine- the baby probably only recently implanted on your uterus wall, so any alcohol content would be very diluted by the time it reached the kid. Do be careful from here on out, but the kid should be fine. A few really rarely will hurt the kid anyway- as long as it's occasional and only one or two!

Why aren't comic artists creating new superheroes? They are- either you aren't looking or your comic shop isn't buying them, afraid they would sit on the shelves and not be bought. Invincible is an outstanding new superhero published from Image. It's around issue 50, so it's not brand-spanking-new, but much newer than many people would be interested in.

I was asked this question from a total stranger today... "If you could have any super-power what would it be?" What would you say "on the spot"?

To be able to be other people for short periods would just be cool, and I think go a long way toward understanding where other people are coming from.

I need to explain the difference between "justice" and "just", can anyone help me? "Justice" is a noun and should be used as such: "I want to see justice done." "Just" is the related adjective. "He is a just person, because he wants to see justice done." Would be an example of the two of them in the same sentence. there are other meanings of "just", but I assume you want to see the meaning related to "justice."

During the course of an adventure my character has taken a goblin captive. The intention was to question it for information but now I've grown attached to the bugger so I've decided to keep it.

Thanks! :) We eat out about once a week on our own budget- more if people take us out! And it's me, my wife, and our six-month-old son.

Answer to:
Why do people who do not believe in a God ask ridiculous and offensive questions about Him? I think that a good chunk of the questioners are reacting to bad religious people- basically, the ones that are just as pushy and offensive as the questioners are. They get pushed, they're pushing back. Just goes to show that Christians (speaking as one) should be the salt of the earth- but not the salt sea!

We are under a winter storm warning, and I'm still at work, till 10 pm...should we be able to go home? I live in Indiana. I know of no law that FORCES employers to send empoloyees home under such conditions- and in fact, depending your job, it could be horrible to do so. Imagine if doctors got sent home in such circumstances! On the other hand, especially in commercial venues, I'd probably ask to be let go for the night, as there probably won't be enough business to merit my staying!

Should The U.S have Expanded the War in 2003 by Invading Iran and Syria as well as Iraq in 2003 and allow Israel to re-invade Palestine and Lebannon? um... no. I still consider it an open question as to whether or not we should have gone into Iraq- much less tackling other nations! "This Empire America" really shouldn't happen, in my humble opinion. Which is what all that would have lead to, one way or another. And, unfortunately, may still happen.

Envying someone is not good..but admiring someone is. Do you agree with that? I think a certain level of envy can be good if channeled in the right direction. I envy your ability to encourage people, so I will strive to get that same ability. Basically, small envy in my mind is admiration with an edge. Envy gone overboard is very bad, though, and can lead to bad things. Just as admiration can lead to bad things if you admire the wrong thing! If I admire Hitler, it...

Did you ever have to read parts of the bible in public school? If so did it offend you if you weren't of Christian faith? Yes- because it was necessary that we understand certain teachings while reading "The Crucible" by Arthur C. Miller and "Inherit the Wind" by Author I Don't Remember. Even as a conservative Christian, I'd rather not have the Bible taught in a public school. I'd rather not have it denounced either, mind you. The state rules in one sphere, the church in...

Why is the younger generation all becoming atheists at the same time all of the sudden?

As a Christian woman, how can you truly believe god loves you if throughout the bible again and again he has persecuted women who commit the same crimes as men who ARENT persecuted, and created a system of Patriarchy that consistently puts women down? Which specific examples are you thinking of? The instances that come to my mind are when MEN are persecuting- not God. The Bible relates many things, not all of which God approves of. The Bible does make it clear that sin is sin- it doesn't matter who does it. So, punishment should not rely on gender. As far as putting down women- Men are to be like Christ, the head of the church...

On the other hand, the "fun" questions that no one debates about- those take up an equal amount of my time!

Where do the dinosaurs fit into the bible shouldnt they be somewher near the begining? i couldnt find any mention of them last time i skimmed through one. It's true the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs- but the US Constitution doesn't mention Hessians, and the book "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" doesn't mention Austrian Waltz. It has to do with the subject matter- The Bible focuses on God and his relationship with humans- or lack thereof. Why mention dinosaurs? They hardly play a part in our relationship...

Is it irresponsible to eat an unhealthy diet knowningly, with constantly eating at fast food places,and drinking soft drinks,thus ignoring the consequences of bad health? I think it could be irresponsible- Do you have only money for fast food, and otherwise you don't get to eat? Do you do it only occassionally? Do you eat there because you have mental deficiencies and that is the only place you know how to get food from (unfortunately, it does happen)? In general, I would say that it is irresponsible- but there are exceptions.

I think the biology can give a person a leaning- a tendency to lean one direction or another in both intelligence and personality- for instance, a shorter temper can be influenced by biology.

They will also be able to aid you in judging whether or not you are mature enough to handle marriage!

I would not suggest going about it by simply saying that to her, as it would probably greatly damage your relationship, but technically, as long as it's not abuse, you can do whatever. You do own your home, or rent. You have full say over who comes onto that...

Let's say I was driving a car, smoking a joint and a cop car was behind me. If i pulled over,turned off my car, jumped out, threw my keys in the ditch an smoked the joint outside, will it prevent me from getting a DUI? If you're in the US, it probably won't help overly much unless you try contesting it in court- and especially if the cop gets you on possession, the judge, I imagine, will most likely just back up the cop's ticket. Of course, this would vary per judge, too, I would think.

You are given 5 beans and 4 bowls. Using all the beans place an odd number of beans in each bowl.

I choose to place five beans in the first bowl, and then remove them. Repeat the process until you reach the last bowl. I guess this kinda counts for thinking outside the bowl- er, box.

The author often has very little to say about the final outcome of the movie, and I like to at least look at what the original thinker of the plot has to say!

What is the opposite meaning of what ...assuming that you mean exactly what your questions shows- the opposite of "what"- I'd have to guess "that." "What" is a question, that is uncertain and does not know. "That" points to a definite thing. ...just a guess!

Back in the 70's, I read a comic that had its front cover ripped off. It had frankenstein and dracula in it. During the course of the comic, Frankenstein has tears (cries) during it. Does anyone know the name of the comic? Do you know the publishing company? If you still have access to the comic, you might be able to check the copyright information, usually on the bottom of the front page in the little print. There it will also tell the comic's title and issue number. My guess is that it is from Marvel's monster line, possible "Frankenstein Monster," "Tomb of Dracula" or maybe...

If Christians believe that God is omnipresent and is watching all of us every second of the day, why do they then turn around and insist that God "can't stand to be around sin" and that's the reason why he is forced to send all sinners to hell? Sinners send themselves to hell; God is reaching out with his forgiveness, that Jesus won. Jesus willingly took all the punishment that sinners like me deserve. And now God offers that forgiveness freely- no strings attached. Those who go to hell are those who refuse the free forgiveness and try to make up for their wrongs with their own methods. Methods that will never work. They'd...

In the wake of a devestating loss, should one actively try to rebuild their life and form new relationships after a certain time has passed, or is it better to just wait and let things happen naturally at their own pace? Yes. A little of both, I would think, especially depending the person. First, if one tries to do it artificially, you end up with a lot of very shallow friendships (not necessarily shallow friends, mind you), but if you wait to do it naturally, it may end up as an excuse to never move on in life.

Because especially in today's world that's way too young!

Have fun and date around- get to know exactly what you like in a girl, and how you can be yourself and yet still not be "too much" with that significant other. As you and the people around you grow and mature, it will come with time, especially if you're conscious about your growing...

Answer to:
Is this sentence grammatically correct? " :Looking back at our beautiful moments" if not please correct it. You have no verb; rather you have a gerund "looking" which is a verbal noun, or a nounal verb depending on which academic you talk to. Basically, as it is now, as others have said, it's an incomplete sentence. Put in a verb and a subject, and then you'll have a sentence!

Answer to:
Does staying and trying to work things out with my husband after he had an 'emotional affair' make me a weak person? I've had a few people tell me that now and I just wondered what others' thoughts were. It does not make you a weak person; it makes you committed to your marriage. That does not necessarily mean that it's the right thing here; does your husband want to work things out? I'd say the only way it would make you weak is if you're totally afraid of the alternative, rather than honestly trying to do the right thing. Does that make any sense?

Except maybe in Wonder Woman.

Although, I don't see him keeping you at arm's length as being a likely one. Personally, anyway.

When he was conceived in Mary, he became man as well. Before that he was not man. After that he was; now that part of his nature will last forever, taken up into God.

Answer to:
Once in Heaven, is it possible to slap God? If yes, then what happens? If no, then what about free will? God ain't physical, so it's not possible. If he were, though, it would be possible to slap him. The problem- in heaven, love for God will be made perfect and sinless. You wouldn't want to slap God in heaven!

Answer to:
Do you value things that are really beautiful and glamorous but are basically useless (e.g., diamonds), or do you value things that are practical and serve a utilitarian purpose (e.g., a computer)? ...any reason we can't value both, for different reasons? Heck, to say just 'utilitarian' means I generally don't value people, unless they're serving my purposes, and to say just 'beautiful' means I don't value people who aren't supermodels! (thinking of just outward beauty). So... both! I value things based not just on outward beauty, nor on...

Answer to:
Does God really exist Things to consider: God, or any conception thereof, is usually a spiritual being (greek gods aside), so would not "show up" on any scientific test. There are many things that science simply can't explain, even today. When it comes to Christianity, there are many writings which are as historically verifiable as the existence of Socrates- even moreso. (That discussion...

Answer to:
If a person has a mental disorder like bipolor and maybe some form of szhophrinia? (not sure thats spelled right) and when he was in his right mind he got saved and baptized then the mental illness took.does God look on that person as saved still We trust that in God's hands; he is merciful on his children. That person has faith; now because of a disease it is hidden- but that person has saving faith. And God sees that; he sees that Jesus' death covers that diseased individual as surely as any who have faith.

Answer to:
My sister-in-law, unknowingly to me, ran up £18,000 of debt in my name, and because i point blank refuse to pay it, and so does she, i'm filing for bankruptcy - if this happened to you, would you still talk to your sister-in-law? I agree with many others- it appears that your sister-in-law has no regard for you at all. I'd try to keep things "cordial" in family situations, basically by not talking to her so there would be no murder at that particular gathering. I certainly would take her to court, though- if at all possible.

Answer to:
I need to finish Christmas Shopping but i just got off the graveyard shift and my son goes to school till 3:30. Do I go now or sleep a few hours then go? Need opinions. If you can shop without drooling to the floor, do so now, and then crash the second you get home. If the drool is forthcoming, if you find you can't tell the difference between the checkoutlane and that dream, then I'd stay home and sleep. Personal opinion!

Answer to:
If your un-wed sister/daughter said she was pregnant what would come to your mind? I would be most concerned for the baby, and taking care of that child. Making sure 'mom' is taken care of. Hopefully she expresses regret- may have to talk to her about her actions- but my first thought is for that child. Certainly not shoving the sister/ daughter away- not kicking her out by any means, unless she shoves herself away by running away!

You need to be honest, and accept what comes; trying to weezle your way out of it will only result in hurting feelings further. What is the gf doing about it? Is it possible she's already told him? Or is she the blackmailer? Because I imagine your friend may be more hurt by her betrayal than...

I'm keeping the baby, i refuse to give it up? what to do i do how do i handle this where to i go? Help me, PLEASE! Something that hasn't been mentioned: Once you have a back-up plan, I would highly suggest that you be honest and tell your parents. Express regret if you have it, which sounds like you do. They may surprise you if you come to them with a penitent attitude. However, just in case, do have that "back-up" in place. Also, the earlier you do this, the better chance they may be...

I'm keeping the baby, i refuse to give it up? what to do i do how do i handle this where to i go? Help me, PLEASE! Where do you live? There are many pregnancy centers that take in people just like you, and help until you can get back on your feet. Look for pregnancy counseling centers in the phone book- most will not criticize you for being pregnant, and especially if you look for a Christian one, you will in no way be pressured to get an abortion or even to give the child up for adoption, if you choose to...

Answer to:
If GOD created Man in His Image, and Man, by committing original sin obviously had a flawed character....does it mean GOD has a flawed character? Think of seeing yourself in a mirror. You are seeing an image of yourself, yes? Yet, is it a perfect image? This image is two-dimensional. It is flip-flopped left and right. So, though it is an image, it does not have every single one of your qualities. Adam and Eve were created in the image of God- not copies of God. They were created in complete harmony with God- thought, word, and deed....

If i am a fully blown taoist then what proof is there to convince me that your "god" is real and mine is not, because there is no documented case of the authors of the bible? Is your question really about the documented authors of the Bible? Christianity is unique in that it is based in verifiable history. Many of the New Testament books have verifiable authors; for instance, Luke says that he writes Luke and Acts. These passages run back to the oldest manuscripts. The church accepted him, and no one in or outside of the church ever argued he didn't write...

Christians, if Trinity is incomprehensible how do you expect people convert and believe in a incomprehensible mystery? Moosemose makes a good point- Basically, if you can't comprehend it, does that mean you can't accept it? I personally can't comprehend all the mathematical computations that go into why gravity works, or how electricity really works all my electronics, or how it is my blood continues to pump. Sure, I know some of the basics, but everything about it? Certainly not! Do you...

What do you think of a Wheeling Illinois TGI Friday’s restaurant asking a disabled customer and her companion guide dog to leave the restaurant a few days ago because they claimed guide dogs weren’t allowed, -, no matter what the federal law stated? I hope that it was done in ignorance, and will be redressed. If the manager is just that much of an idiot, then he should be fired- in the least! On the other hand, I've heard similar cases where the person really didn't need the guide dog- just brought it in to push buttons. If that's the case, good job to the manager! Guide dogs, and those who need them, shouldn't be...

I am a college student who ended a long relationship 4 months ago. my ex BF got a new gf in 3 weeks. She keeps tracking me down and wanting to talk to me. I do not want to talk to her...what could she possibly want to say to me? It may be honest inquiry, wondering how your ex treated you- men (speaking as a man) usually fall into patterns; if he treated you well he will treat this woman well, and so on. It may be a warning, too- if she got an STD from him, for instance, she may be concerned for you. Or, it may just be she wants to know about his past, how to please him, etc. Heck, I don't know! Ask her!

Answer to:
Have you ever played any of the "World of Darkness" games? I have, and greatly enjoyed it. It does take a certain type of player and GM, one focused on story and not just killing things. If you read the intro to any of the source books and enjoy what you read, give it a try. I played Mage, the older version. I haven't done anything since the recent 'reboot' though.

How can i use birth control pills to stop my period after it has already started? My wife also ran into a similar issue; she was told that moving a period's date took a good deal of time- usually a day or two, maybe three per cycle. Certainly nothing as immediate as you're asking!

Answer to:
I have written a book that I truly believe is quite good. It runs to almost a thousand pages, and took several years. Any tips on getting it published in the traditional way? Runs almost a thousand pages? I would break it up into either a duology or a trilogy, if possible. Also, not every publisher requires a literary agent. Go to a library or bookstore, and check the publishers of books in the same genre as the one you are aiming to publish. Check out their websites; many will give their publishing guidelines, including whether or not you are required to submit...
