Who Watches this Mort?
Bob Jones IV was a mild mannered employee of a savings and loan when his boss, who was secretly evil, performed genetic experiments on him to turn him into Captain Rectitude. The good Captain had super strength, speed and durability, as well as the ability to project "destructive plasma blasts" from his heart shaped chest emblem (How's that for a "Care Bear Stare"). Most ironically, the genetic testing, "replaced his normal biological drives with a synthetic anti-smut instinct" which made him wage war against anything he thought was unwholesome. For those of you unaware, the Marvel Character She-Hulk spent most of the 80's in provacative "cheese-cake" style splash pages, so Captain Rectitude and Shulkie squared off a couple of times.
This week's mort is sadly not obscure at all and I'm betting several of you will know the answer right away. So, what do you see when I show you this picture:

WalMart is dead.
Is Watchmen overrated just a bit? I tried reading it and it was very bleh.

I thought that Watchmen was overrated at first as well. As the comic that is universaly regarded as the beginning of the "grim and gritty" era and the death of fun comics, I was all set to hate it, and it is most certainly a slow burn, but it ends powerfully and really makes you think. All in all, I enjoyed it in the end, but I'm still not fond of the creative and artistic trail it opened. Kind of like judging a person by the way their kids act, I guess.

But at least one of the kids is The Question. Oh, txmommy34 & I figured out tonight that the crazy detective from Law & Order Criminal Intent would be great to play The Question.
