Before:
Kevin was born on the mossy hills of Scotland and lived for a while in West Lothian before the mores of pre-Thatcher and REALLY pre-Oasis Great Britain sent his family across the ocean to North America. They moved here and there and Kevin did the same when he was old enough. Now he lives in London with his family and a Dog.
Kevin Wardrop is an amateur writer, amateur photographer and professional pain in the ass. He has worked in the PC support business for most of his adult life and has been accustomed to simply answering technical questions as a matter of fiat, it was his career choice after all. Now he herds cats and puppies for a living as well as babysitting the web enterprises at the heart of western industry.

How is it possible that a planetary body that has endured ice ages, meteor strikes, volcanic eruptions, etc can be said to be under threat by a puny species like humankind? How is it possible that we (as humans) continually overstate our individual and collective worth despite all evidence to the contrary?
There it is, in once simple statement. The Veritable “God of the Gaps” in Climate Change denial. Humans are puny, how could humans take any hand in the alteration of the Environment?
One does not have to look far to see the veracity of the claim that human activity affects the local enviornment. Trash and industrial waste go a long way to demonstrating the the localized power of human misadventure. How about on a transnational scale? Look at the Acid Rains that have ravaged the forests in Northern Ontario and Quebec, passed from plants in the USA and Canada. What about Chinese pollution that reaches North America?
Doesn’t humankind sport the ability to crack mountains?
Doesn’t humankind have the ability to shirk gravity?
Seriously; there are people who use the internet every day and say “pfft, human achievement is nothing when compared to the rain and babies. Babies are amazing mysterious things.”
I can type a few bits of text on a box with wires in it and EVERYONE ON EARTH CAN READ THEM IF THEY HAVE A BOX AND SOME WIRES WITH ELECTRICITY IN THEM. Why is it beyond some people to think that humankind might influence weather patterns a bit?
It’s amazing to live in a world with such people in it. Dunderheads all.

The Dark Reign begins drowned in Internet Memes
Published by NiteMayr on March 10, 2009While I’m sure that Marvel folks are aware how the sound effect FAP is received on the Internets; I’m thinking they were trying to illustrate the sound of those guns landing.
Or are they?
Is this a subtle message from the Marvel art department? PREPARE FOR A MASTURBATORY CONTINUITY WANK FEST DURING DARK REIGN? No? I wish it was.
The Dark Reign Concept is a good idea; but it would have been better had it started before the whole Skrull invasion; the Skrull invasion was just kind of pointless and directionless. It set up some nice tension points, but it would have been just as easy to limit it to the major characters who had been replaced; without the need for the whole crossover.
Dark Reign has gotten off to a fairly good start, with Normon Osborne making nice in front of President Obama… yup, he’s there in Thunderbolts 128 talking to Doc Sampson and looking to get to work fixing the economy (after the Skrulls and not the former President or Tony Stary wrecked it)
With Norman Osborne running roughshod over the Marvel Big Titles and making it a crime to be a superhero at all (TAKE THAT PRO-REGISTRATION FORCES!) I’ll be reading all of these titles; but I’m looking forward tothe collected volumes with more anticipation than I did the Skrull Invasion. This feels like a real follow-up to Civil War and I’m looking forward to Steve Rogers return.
