Oh yeah, the comment the other MDs made about him, right?


Somebody mentioned somewhere, that Heather was a typical stereotype of an Albertan....I have no...

I don't know if Marvel is gay gun-shy really...I mean, there are writers who are pushing the boundries...Like Peter David in X-Factor with Shatterstar and Rictor being revealed as lovers (I don't...

Argh...Yeah, I recall Austen's run with disgust...Wow, that was some bad stuff. Thank you for clearing up the Heather making rape jokes thing....I recall those words now...Ick! Austen gave Jean...

I have to point out that I don't think Murmur from vol 2 was meant to be white (you stated the volume 2 cast were all white)...I believe she was meant to be of mixed ethnicity. Silver and Auric...

Imagine the stereotype that Northstar would have become had Mantlo been given the go-ahead with his AIDS story...Ugh (again). Suzene, where did Heather make such a joke? I find that disturbing and...

Ah...Good points, Suz.


But it certainly added a layer to...

Thanks for the info on the Snowbird Squad, FP...I didn't know about them. If having Jeanne-Marie be Catholic (Aurora must be a lapsed Catholic...LOL) is a stereotype, that's just silly if the...

Yeah...He wasn't flaming or effeminate, he was strong and into sports and he also apparently liked fights (see issue one). The snotty francophone stereotype is also applied to those from France too....

I thought we could discuss this...

Shaman, Native Canadian (indian) mystic...Yes, this is an old stereotype...I have to agree on this one.

Sasquatch...The term Sasquatch is also used in the...
