Personally, I'm going with that Die is insistant with her new rank, ergo current nr 8.
Ripping off your own arm and trow it back on the enemy is badass, even if you can easily regen your arm. That's Deneave's strength. She can lose an arm for a good blow and half her body for a killing blow and it's still a somewhat sane strategy.
Best odds for them is to defeat or distract Hysteria enough to be able pull out eveyone alive, since Hysteria will prevent any retreats. Then wait and see in the ZAO duel. Yes, that's really crappy odds.
Gooral, if you're correct with that toning down theory (not impossible I agee) I wonder if it's not outside influence. I was thinking about the AF. Galatea is disgusted with the method used on the twins, yet none has really reacted on that the human part of the AF should be the same girls used as claymore trainees, only that the AF is monsters. It does feel a bit like the AF is an old idea, but the lack of claymore aggression frenzy towards thier existance and pointing out their origin at the same time is notable, thus feeling like a later change and it's also unrelated to actually killing a character.
Then again, anyone dying before would not show up vs Hysteria, making this fight more rediculous with every death.

Ok I like the chapter, things are getting good.
However I'm very surprised at the ghost's arrogance.... Did they really believe that they where going to walk in and be able to fight with an AO like hysteria?

The line has to be drawn somewhere. It was pretty drawn when Priscilla was chasing after Helen and Deneve for Clare during the Destroyer arc and were helpless when got cornered by Priscilla.
The only existence that can pretty much take alone either an AO or a ZAO on her own would be Teresa, because Teresa is Teresa and that's out of discussion to me.
Hope it helps, BTW.

Another thing I questioned Hysteria's form, at first. But now I'm starting to like it and she maybe the hardest to finish off due to her amazing speed. Miria literaly would have to awaken to match it.

Infact i could even say more: the way that Roxy decided to kill Cassy is (contrary of what you say) a good indication that Roxy wasn't confident at all to be able to kill Cassy in a fair fight,if not she would have taken care of Cassy like all the others.
Roxy didn't have the guts to fight Cassy alone.
Also it's absolutely clear that when Cassy awaken it's just because she's super angry,there is not even a little hint that indicates that Cassy wasn't confident to fight against Roxy in claymore form.....and what i say is proved right because even when BOTH of them are awakened Cassy still see Roxy as just a number two,someone clearly inferior to her.
2-You don't get my point, it doesn't help even a little bit if you consider that Histy is several times faster than anyone else (Miria excluded.....well,even Miria should be clearly slower now) and can control her movements perfectly.
What you say would help ONLY if Histy doesn't have a good control of her movements or if the ghosts have a similar speed than her,and that's clearly not the case.
3-No,with only one she would obviously have a TERRIBLE maneuverability.
........hoping it won't be the last,lol......

As for the ghosts' arrogance, yeah, they WHERE arrogant as hell, but if you take in there perspective, I think it's pretty logical for them wanting to save there leader, right?
Anyways, I'm doubting if anyone's ever gonna die facing Hysteria in the next 5~6 chapters... I know they would lighten their burden down a bit when take out Hysteria since Roxanne would be easy to defeat with Cassandra's assist, but I just wish theirs be no second Jean or anything to bring Miria or anyone back. Um, don't get me wrong ME being pessimist or having wishes to see someone die already, but lately there fights' been kinda too obvious (especially the last chap) offering some poorly results as to Deneve/Nike (since I assume she's defensive too) being the only ones getting beat the shit out of it given the fact they're good at rapid regeneration even if they where to lose half of there body.

Happy new years every one, i'm new to the forum but I'm absolutely obsessed with Claymore. Watched the anime and then heard of the mange being awesome from the reviews on netflix, then read the manga's from 1 to 121 in 2 days. Honestly, even if times it doesn't make sense or Yagi isn't being completely coherent, I still am completely enthralled in the series and hope that they make a do over for the anime like FMA:brotherhood, because that would be awesome LOL. I love you guy's discussions and just wanted to display my gratitude for keeping me entertained when I have no new chapters to read (even though rereading them is awesome too). You all rock and keep up the entertaining conversations.

Happy New Year everyone!
I did enjoy the chapter as usual. I'm genuinely excited when the new chapter releases so it's kind of hard to disappoint me a great deal with this series.
I will say that I'm still not entirely a fan of the ZAO's forms. Hopefully the reasoning is along the lines of what Shiek927 said about their inferior forms. That really is something that feels very believable to me, and I'll then be looking forward to their true forms. Of course this is wishful thinking and only speculation.

The ball dropped in my country about 10 minutes ago
What I disliked most about this chapter was Miria offering her explanation about reasoning Hysteria's awakened form to explain the traction of the latter to maximize speed without losing it on solid ground.
But, it's more to the fact that she gives the explanation during the flow of the battle watching on as a spectator from the sidelines.
It gives off Claymore becoming more and more like the rest of the mainstream shounen like Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece relying on the protagonists to offer their insights about the techniques of their enemies as they're engaging in mortal combat; it disrupts the flow of the fight.

At the same time, fair's fair - I feel I need to point out that, in general, this kind of vocal analyzing has always been around; even in the volume 1 day (the earliest I think was during the Slayers mission against the six-armed AB - the AB himself even analyzed Miria)....the key difference, in my opinion, is splitting the differences.
The differences being the time where, we can take what we hear as given/the truth, and other times where it could end up being false. In some sense, it's easy to tell -- because, particularly with Dr.Deneve, some theories/explanations are more broad and not as foolproof - they are just seemingly tossed out there and it feels like we are expected to take them as truth....which is silly when their could be a mountain of evidence and/or questions that contradict it.
And then their are other times where their is deception or deliberate misinformation -- hearing about Isley's motives and then learning later the truth about his plans.
Really, all things considered, regardless of the situation....the best move is to just take any and all vocal analyzing with a grain of salt -- because, as with the Isley example, their are moments where we hear something that sounds plausible and sensible (especially when their isn't something at the time to contradict it) and even then, something comes along to change it all up....it's even easier when, with Dr.D, some stuff we hear just feels like it's pulled out of the character's rear. They could be right for all we know, and maybe we're expected to take it as truth....but when their is simply so much that says the answer could be otherwise, it's hard simply to accept that - even if the reason is because the answer we hear is simply, well, boring all things considered.
That's not to say we should immediately assume every analysis we hear is false....just potentially false for whatever reason (not enough proof to confirm, may be changed later, etc) - it may seem like an overly excessive stance to take (though it shouldn't be - after all, in real life, do you automatically assume everything you hear is truth?), but that's how I see it: this story is made with deliberate ambiguity and it's difficult to understand when we're being told something infalliable or not, so we really should never take what we hear as such in the first place, but merely keep it in mind as we analyze the subject ourselves.

now back to business
1- You are using their past to proof something happened in the present (or close past). Roxanne may tricked her because this is her style and Cassandra when she defeated her she was an AO! And when both awakened we can't use anything they say or have said as proof because their minds are different and we have seen this with many ABs. Now can you proof that Cassandra had the upper hand in the fight with Roxanne in their human form as Claymores you can't because we all know that Roxanne had the upper hand because Cassandra was a mess just look at her she was cut everywhere and Roxanne wasn't even scratched and knew everything about Cassandra's abilities and Cassandra knew nothing except maybe a little bit about Blades of Evil and the Beautiful Sword other than that nothing. And now adding all these evidences together you get a solid proof that I have a good chance that my theory is right! (Hysteria not awakening not until she got defeated because she had never thought that Miria had a chance against her. Roxanne never awakened not till she lost all her limbs and finally Cassandra awakened because her body never had a chance in defeating Roxanne the way it was cut as she was in a total disadvantage.).
2- Hysteria has the upper hand which is true but lets take it in other ways her only strong point is her speed.
a-Helen's sword is definitely capable to shred her to pieces but she is slow.
b- Hysteria went crazy from Tabitha because she couldn't sense her and I believe this is the key.
Although they lack speed if she can't sense them and unable to locate them then she wont know that they are behind her and her only solution is to keep moving like crazy so they wont be around her and this is the key to defeat her but sadly it is unlikely to happen because all of the ghosts have released their yoki and none left except Tabitha.
3- Said based on what proof? I believe you haven't understood the image I had drawn in my head so imagine there is a battlefield full of spikes and Hysteria is bound to all of them but due to this bound she is restricted into a very small area of movement. Now imagine that she can control which to link and unlink then she can move freely but yet have a steady support to help her change direction and stop. Now imagine she can link to unlinked ones then her change in direction is unlimited and can move in all directions all distance with great acceleration and velocity. Now imagine she can change the places of these spikes then she can move like she want anywhere in the battlefield and that's it. This simply summarizes Hysteria's ability like I thought of after reading what Solace and you said and imagined the perfect technique for Hysteria to keep her speed(or in this case velocity) with full control.

Also their mind don't completely change,if Cassy consider Roxy just a number two is because even in her normal form she saw her just as a number two,it's useless trying to deny this evidence.
Ehm,it's a FACT that Roxy didn't fight against Cassy.
The only reasonthat Cassy was hurt is because she WANTED to be hurt during that attack (and btw Roxy wasn't the one to hurt Cassy!!!Roxy just gave her the killing blow at the very end,like a coward,lol).All that Roxy did was killing Cassy when she was already in very critical conditions.
It's a fact that Roxy killed all her other friends alone,and it's also a fact that instead Roxy decided to kill Cassy in thta way.It doesn't take a genius that the ONLY logical reason for her to change her pattern is because Roxy wasn't confident to be able to kill Cassy in a one on one fight.
Also knowing about a technique helps sometimes but it's meaningless most of the times,lol.
Example: the ghosts know perfectly well about Claire's QS.Do you think that can help them if Claire was trying to kill them? NO!!!
Just because Roxy saw Cassy's technique it doesn't mean that she can defeat her,those are two completely different things.
Also it's 100% sure that Cassy awakened simply because she remembered about Roxy and was FURIOUS.
Also your theory is weak as hell 'cause not even Histy needed to awaken to kill Miria,lol. If instead of awakening she simply take out the sword from the neck and continued fighting like normal she would have surely won 'cause there is no doubt that Histy is A LOT stronger than Miria even if she stays in human form.
Miria won only thanx to a trick,no way that would have happened a second time.
The ONLY one that was forced to awaken was Roxy,no one else.
2- Considering the difference in speed (with great control) and power,if Histy wants to kill someone there is absolutely nothing that the ghosts can do atm.
Their only chance is to hope that Histy understimate them too much and gives them the opportunity to do something to lower the accuracy of her movements (maybe cutting her hooks to the ground),at this point MAYBE Miria can do something to kill her (since it would be very bad for Histy to have an immense speed with no control over it).
BUT this will work only if Histy lowers her guard too much,if she fights mercilessly from the very beginning she could easily kill all of the ghosts in a few moments.
3-It would be an interesting theory if it wans't for the fact that we have seen clearly that she doesn't leave her spikes to the ground in the beginning (but maybe that's what she is planning to do at the very end when she launches all her spikes).
Anyway even with your theory,linking ONLY to one hook (that's what you said) to change direction would give her a very bad manouvrability.

I'll address only problem #1.
Cassy saying that Roxanne is a mere #2 and the fact that Roxy's first attack didn't succeed doesn't mean much. If you really think that's all Roxy has in store then you're really easy target for Yagi. The fight was cut off before the situation got more serious. Imagine Teresa vs. Rosemary fight being cut off at this moment. So far neither of them did anything to the other and neither of them went full power. A good example is Isley vs. Luciella fight. Isley pierced Luciella but it meant nothing since moment later she ate his arrows. Anyway, unless they're so weak compared to Isley and Luciella (who destroyed a large area) and this is all they've got it's way too early to say anything.
As for her fight in Claymore form, I've debated about this in detail in 119th thread.It starts about here (probably earlier) and goes on for like 10 pages (e.g. here starts discussion between me and one user). I've tried to show that Cassandra was defeated by the weakest technique there is so the handicap (Cassy being cut) was irrelevant since both of them had it. Also Cassy was too weak to just storm through small fries without injury and attack Roxanne, contrary to Miria for example. Her technique didn't even allow her to parry attacks or dodge them and she was one-shotted by Roxy using only a hilt of a sword. To me it clearly shows who was stronger as a Claymore. This doesn't necessarily mean Cassandra is less powerful as an AB but we have too little information to say for now.

From what I've read, he'll be ready for training camp?
Am I missing something?
Almost entirely my own paranoia. Foot injuries for guys that size are hard to come back from. The fact that he tried to come back on it early last year and coulnd't, and then was supposed to be ready for OTAs and that got pushed back to training camp has got me spooked.
Paranoia noted.
Procter should not be allowed to spot anyone!
I actually don't see this happen to often, at all, in the gym when I'm going. The only time this happens is if someone doesn't stretch properly, has poor technique, or is trying to push up more weight than they can handle. If you're stretching properly, lifting properly, and not trying subbornly to lift more than you can actually lift then the chances of this happening are quite slim.
Now since I wasn't there I don't know what happened with this cat, it could just be one of those bad luck, dang it, moments. They happen on occassion. But this isn't something you see often in a gym. Or maybe I'm just lucky for the gym I've been in. *Shrugs*
No. People become extreme homers the moment they don't hit the panic button every chance possible.
Interesting...so where are these 'facts' that the Giants draft lineman well? As it looks to me 3 of their 5 starters, just like ours, didn't get drafted by them. They've drafted 2 starters for their team, same as us, in the same time frame and apparently their guys don't last any longer in the league, or are any more than the guys we've drafted for the most part.
So where are all these supposed 'facts' I kept reading about being out there and thrown down about the Giants being able to know how to draft O-Lineman?
The Cowboys aren't great at drafting O-Line. In fact they're quite average. They seem to find serviceable guys, for a few years for themselves or someone else, but not a lot of studs.
Pretty much like the GMen apparently.
terrible news this especially before the training camp.I wonder if the training staff are pushing the rookies too hard.
The training staff aren't culpable for these types of injuries whatsoever. Pectoral tears are quite common within a professionally monitored weight room environment.
I don't think they're neccesarily common but they happen from time to time, just sucks that he won't get a chance to show anything so we'll go into the draft next year still not knowing much about our depth since it's basically the same crew as last year.
This makes me a sad panda.
This. We are going to regret not drafting William Beatty big time. He's gonna turn into a hell of a player for the Giants.
You are a big blue meanie !
Who's the last Cowboy to tear his pec lifting weights?
Great pick, Jerry.
You know what? I don't recall, but that's irrelevant. These things happen all the time, especially in the presence of weight and strength training coaches.
I could understand if Brewster tore the pec during a drill on the field, but IMO it's inexcusable for a player to tear his pectoral lifting weights. He was most likely lifting without properly warming up and/or using too much weight on the bench. Stupid players do stupid things!
it's pretty hard to hurt yourself lifting if you do it properly
Brewster was probably trying to impress someone
I say again... Top powerlifters tear pecs all the time.
When these guys lift, yes, they're pushing the heaviest weights they can at their very limits. They aren't like the pansies you see screwing around at your local Gold's Gym.
NFL players aren't top powerlifters
Players shouldn't be maxing out at a specific exercise more than once a week. He was probably trying to push out one or two more forced reps with weight that was too heavy for him in the 1st place and he tore the pec

Man speaks the truth. We comicbook fans are a finicky bunch.
Man speaks the truth. We comicbook fans are a finicky bunch.
We are. That said, why should PSP correct its course and reboot? DC have done that many times over the years with LoSH and what that has done each time is alienate more and more readers, diluting the fan-base. I hope that if DE do something else with superheroes other than a continuation of PSP, that they recognize the risk if they reboot those same characters in something clearly different.
That would not stop some other company using the same GA blue-print(s) of course, while going off somewhere different; I just think rebooting whole cloth would be a bad call.
Now back to the question at hand: when will we see more PSP?
I honestly don't think we're looking at that kind of reboot, the kind that alters previously-established continuity. But the next puzzle piece in the PSP mosaic may not be the direct continuation, chronologically, of where PSP left off with Chapter Two, either. And I guess it already isn't, if you count Green Lama and Black Terror appearing in MASKS. Meaning, DE might have to "bait the hook" for new readers with something more easily accessible.
DE pull list: Will Eisner's The Spirit: The Corpse Makers, ERB's The Greatest Adventure, Green Hornet '66 Meets The Spirit, PSP: Herokillers, KISS/Vampirella, Mighty Mouse
That's how I possibly see it going, though I don't really want to see that either. I'd rather they finish what they started, even it has to be a small 6-part mini or something, and then try new stories.
As I stated above somewhere, I'd like to see them go with a four books at first.
A pair of solo books, Green Lama and Black Terror would be the obvious choice
A team book limited to five or six heroes and an occasional guest star.
A team up book, one of the heroes (maybe 2) from the above books and one or two others.
Release them two in the first month then add the next two a month or two later. Six months down the road add a 'tryout' book, one or two of the heroes from the above books who seem to be popular to see how they might do on their own.
I'd love to see it set in the 40's maybe just before the war. If set in modern times I'd like to see a mix of 'second generation' heroes and oldtimers.
Part of the problem with PSP was the number of heroes fighting for face time. They kind of tried to do the massive Infinity crossover before we go to know the heroes. I really think they need to take the time to slowly establish the characters and the universe before doing a major crossover. Otherwise it gets to confusing.
They really don't need to do a major reboot if they keep with the modern, just limit the team book to a few heroes and use other books to tell the story of the other characters. As an example, the team up or tryout book would have been a good place to tell the story of Flame's search for Flame Girl. Bringing in other characters to help him look. Or the quest to find out what happened to American Crusader.

Summary: Sequel to Jack of Truths. Buffy and Faith find out the hard way that their son is gifted -- in the magical kind of way, that is.
Note: This is a sequel to Jack of Truths and you'll need to read that one to know what's going on in this one. :p It's a work in progress and I'll update as often as the muse allows. This first chapter is just a teaser. I hope you enjoy the ride. :)
Prologue: Price Check
Faith held her cell phone to her ear with her shoulder, using both of her free hands to hold two different boxes up. The drugstore was almost empty except for the night pharmacist and the front end cashier, but it didn't stop Faith from looking up and down the aisle every ten seconds in paranoia.
"This one says you hafta use it in the morning, and this one says you can use it whenever you want," she said into the phone.
"No no no, don't look at when you can take it, look at how the results are read," Buffy's voice echoed from the other end of the line as she gave a very playful and excited Jackson a bath.
"Well shit, how the hell am I supposed to know this stuff? They all look exactly the same to me: pink, box-like, and completely intimidating," Faith said, frustrated.
"Calm down, baby," Buffy replied, trying to hide her amusement. "None of them are wrong. Some are just easier to read than others. Pregnancy tests can be tricky."
"Are the results in Japanese or something?"
"Ha ha," Buffy pretended to laugh. "Now are you going to buy the test or do I have to come there and get it myself?"
Faith grinned.
"That sounds good to me; you know I'm no good at this shopping shit."
"Back to business," Buffy said, serious now. "Come on, what do the packages say?"
Faith sighed before looking up and down the aisle one last time, then back down to the boxes.
"This one – Clear Blue Easy – looks kinda like one of those digital thermometers and it says 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'. This one – First Response – I dunno, looks like it's got some kinda squiggly lines or something."
"Oh no, not the lines. And nothing with reading the color either," Buffy chimed in.
"Right then, so Clear Blue Easy it is," Faith said as she stood up from her squatted position and placed the other box on the shelf. "Besides, this is the only blue box in the lot. Smurf blue, even."
Buffy laughed aloud, causing Jackson to laugh in response. Faith smiled as she pictured the scene: Jackson in his bubble bath, splashing around and playing with his toy trains as Buffy struggled to keep some of the water in the tub and not on the floor.
"Smurf blue. It's a sign," she said.
"Must be," Faith replied as she strolled casually down the aisle and up to the cash register.
"Hurry home. I'm anxious."
"Me too. Love ya, B."
"I love you too."
Faith clicked the small phone shut and shoved it deep in her pants pocket. She wasn't looking forward to the checkout process.
The bored-looking cashier took the box and moved to scan it, taking no notice of the item being purchased or the person who was buying it. Faith breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that she might be able to exit without being made a spectacle of.
The cashier, however, couldn't seem to get the scanner to read the bar code. She swiped the box again and again before inspecting it carefully, noticing that the bar code had been partially ripped off and was unreadable.
"I just need to get a price on this," the girl said as she picked up the store intercom phone. Faith's eyes widened as she heard, "I need a price check on a Clear Blue . . ."
"Fuck no!" Faith practically yelled as she yanked on the chord, accidentally ripping it from the phone. The cashier looked at her in shock, but Faith didn't have the time, patience, or spine to wait around while someone announced that she was buying a pregnancy test.
Instead, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a fifty dollar bill and tossed it haphazardly on the counter in exchange for the small blue box.
"Keep the change!" she said as she practically ran out of the store, stopping only for a second just before making it out the door.
Eyeing up a small display, she grabbed a chocolate bar from it and held it up for the cashier to see.
"Add this to my bill. I might be eating for two."


text: NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the information and communications technology (ICT) solutions business within NTT (NYSE: NTT), today announced Light Reading's Big Telecom Event (BTE) will feature two executive speakers from the company's U.S. subsidiary, NTT America. In a Service Providers in Action spotlight, Doug Junkins, NTT America's CTO, will discuss enterprises' leverage of NTT Com's first mover advantage in commercialization of NFV-enabled services on a global scale; address delivery of the most advanced integrated cloud- and SDN-based network offering worldwide; and speak to NTT Com's continued commitment to enhance its enterprise solutions internationally. NTT America Senior Director of Technology Services Rob Schrage will also participate as a featured speaker at BTE, joining a panel discussion on telecommunications and data centers in the time of SDN/NFV innovation. The BTE will be held June 17-18, 2014, at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers in Chicago, IL. In late May of this year, NTT Com achieved a global industry-first mover advantage with the launch of commercialized NFV services – initially cloud-based – on a global scale, powered by the January 2014 acquisition of Virtela Technology Services Incorporated. NTT Com added four new, on-demand cloud services including SSL VPN, IPsec VPN Gateway, Firewall and Application Acceleration – to the company's enterprise network services portfolio. These new services, enabled through NTT Com's pioneering work in NFV, accelerate delivery of IT services for enterprises and reduce the costs of enterprise networking. NTT Com's SDN-based customer portal allows for real-time, instant, self-service provisioning of the new services with drag-and-drop icons, and clients can pay-per-use. This comprehensive suite of new services is delivered out of 50 global data center locations, offering both proximity and the ease of one-stop shopping for NTT Com's enterprise clients. The BTE will feature Mr. Junkins in the session titled " Virtualization Innovation: Service Providers in Action" on Tuesday, June 17 at 10 a.m., during which he will share insight into how the transition to SDN/NFV is like and unlike previous technology transitions, and how SDN/NFV represent unique possibilities for innovation/service differentiation, as well as the biggest industry challenges to SDN/NFV deployment. Highlighting NTT Com's momentum in expanding its global enterprise network services portfolio with NFV solutions, Mr. Junkins will discuss the leading role service providers play in driving SDN/NFV deployment. Additionally and on the Network Operations & Orchestration Challenges panel, scheduled for Wednesday, June 18 at 3:45 p.m., Mr. Junkins will explore operational challenges in implementing SDN/NFV, the different layers of orchestration involved, and how new operational requirements can and will coexist with traditional OSS. As a BTE panelist on Telco Data centers in the SDN/NFV Era, scheduled for Wednesday, June 18 at 2:30 p.m., Mr. Schrage will address why network operators like NTT Com have been investing in data center technology for years to support advanced services and how data centers are becoming increasingly strategic, as they are used to deliver applications, content/video, and cloud-based services worldwide. With the advent of NFV and the transformation of data centers to SDN architectures, Mr. Schrage will explore how these valuable assets will become more agile and flexible in response to a rapidly changing competitive environment. In addition, he will discuss how the data center will evolve into an SDN/NFV virtualized telecom data center, focusing on business and technology drivers, as well as implementation of best-practices and principles. "SDN/NFV are some of the most important communications technologies developed to date," said Carol Wilson, event chair for the BTE. "These innovations will allow enterprise clients to improve productivity and cut costs, and their applications will make significant impacts across multiple sectors. As representatives of one of the most visionary communications service providers in the world, we are delighted to have Mr. Junkins and Mr. Schrage speak at the BTE and enlighten our attendees on the market impact of SDN/NFV from NTT Com's position as the front runner in these game-changing technologies."

Comic Book Legends Revealed #285
Welcome to the two-hundred and eighty-fifth in a series of examinations of comic book legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous two hundred and eighty-four.
Comic Book Legends Revealed is part of the larger Legends Revealed series, where I look into legends about the worlds of entertainment and sports, which you can check out here, at legendsrevealed.com. I'd especially recommend you check out this installment of Music Legends Revealed to learn what classic Carpenters song was originally written for a bank commercial!
Follow Comics Should Be Good on Twitter and on Facebook (also, feel free to share Comic Book Legends Revealed on our Facebook page!). As I've promised, at 2,000 Twitter followers I'll do a BONUS edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed during the week we hit 2,000. So go follow us (here's the link to our Twitter page again)! Not only will you get updates when new blog posts show up on both Twitter and Facebook, but you'll get original content from me, as well!
NOTE: There is some nudity (comic and photographic) in this piece, so if you don't want to see stuff like that, skip this installment!
Let's begin!
COMIC LEGEND: A British comic strip celebrated D-Day by showing full front nudity of its female lead for the first time.
STATUS: False
Originally titled Jane's Journal – Or the Diary of a Bright Young Thing, Jane was a comic strip by British writer/artist Norman Pett that appeared in the Daily Mirror for nearly thirty years!
Initially based on his wife, Pett drew much more attention to the strip when he began basing the character on noted nude model Chrystabel Leighton-Porter.
Here is Leighton-Porter, in the flesh…
Along with her pet dachsund, Fritz, Jane would get into all sorts of wacky hijinx that mostly involved her accidentally losing her clothes. By "her clothes," of course, I mean her blouses and skirts – she'd almost always still be wearing a bra under her shirt.
When writer Don Freeman took over the strip, he began to give Jane actual serial adventures (although, of course, still finding plenty of opportunities for her to disrobe).
In any event, as the story goes, Jane finally showed it all on June 7, 1944, in honor of D-Day. Here is that strip…
In the Telegraph's obituary for Leighton-Porter (who died in 2000), that's how they tell the story, as well:
CHRISTABEL LEIGHTON-PORTER, who has died aged 87, was the model for the Daily Mirror's wartime strip cartoon "Jane"; the character's lightly-clad adventures with the Security Service were credited with maintaining the morale of the Forces and even, on the morning in 1944 when she first appeared nude, with inspiring the 36th Division to advance six miles through Normandy in a single day.
While it is almost certainly true that Pett and Freeman DID have a special strip to honor the Allied forces in Normandy, and said strip WAS most likely airlifted to the troops to boost morale, Jane had appeared fully nude a number of times before this time.
For instance, here's a couple of 1943 strips…
So this seems pretty clearly to be an example of a strip being SO famous that people just gave it more importance than it really had.
Pett left the strip in 1948 (his assistant Michael Hubbard took over) and the strip finally ended in 1959, with Jane marrying her longtime beau.
Thanks to R.C. Harvey's brilliant Rants and Raves column for the scoop (and the scans)!
COMIC LEGEND: Steve Englehart had an interesting farewell to Marvel in the original pages of Avengers #149.
STATUS: True
In 1976, Steve Englehart left Marvel Comics over a dispute with editorial. The particulars of the arguments do not really matter (suffice it to say that Englehart was not happy with Marvel), but I just wanted to show something that Scott Edelman (noted sci-fi writer/editor and former writer/editor for Marvel Comics) discovered when looking at some original art from Avengers #149, Englehart's last full issue of Avengers (he co-scripted #150).
The end of the issue is the same as the normal issue, except for a text box. Scott helpfully circled it…
(click on image to enlarge)
Isn't that funny?
The most amusing aspect to me is that Tom Orzechowski even LETTERED it, as though it was actually going to be included in the issue!
Scott also points out another interesting aspect of the original pages – if you look at the notes in the margins, it is the penciler of the issue, George Perez, complaining about various delays on Avengers issues that were making his life difficult at the time, deadline-wise (Perez was drawing a TON of comics back then).
Scott notes this is a "farewell," but commenter Rob M. does bring up an interesting question of whether this is perhaps just an example of the general issues Englehart was having with Marvel editorial at the time and not literally a "farewell." So I dunno for sure – it's funny either way! Thanks so much to Scott Edelman for calling attention to this piece of comic book history! Check out his website here.
COMIC LEGEND: A comic book writer sued over comments another writer made over what his comic book work said about his mental state.
STATUS: True
Like the Flex Mentallo case last week, this is a story that I likely should have addressed in Comic Book Legends Revealed years ago.
As I featured recently in a Year of Cool Comics, Michael Fleisher and Jim Aparo did a notable run in Adventure Comics starring the Spectre.
The comic was especially notable for how the Spectre would get poetic revenge upon the bad guys. Here are some examples…
Some pretty brutal stuff, eh?
In any event, in a 1979 interview in The Comics Journal by interviewer Gary Groth and interviewee Harlan Ellison, Groth asked if Ellison was following any comics, and Ellison began to talk about Fleisher's Spectre run and this went off into a tangent about Fleisher's prose work, as well). During the discussion of Fleisher's writing, he referred to Fleisher using each of the following terms at one point or another:
Naturally, Fleisher was not happy about this, and he sued Ellison, Groth and The Comics Journal for libel, seeking $2,000,000 in damages.
To succeed on a libel claim, Fleisher had to prove that Ellison had made defamatory comments, that he knew they were false (or at least had a reckless disregard for whether they were true or not) and the comments had to have caused an actual injury to the reputation of Fleisher.
Whether you believe the comments qualified or not (amusingly, Ellison at one point even said in the interview about one of his comments "that's a libellous thing to say" – Ellison also said at trial, though, that he was meant "bugfuck crazy" as a compliment and that very well could be true as Ellison did tend to talk that way), when the case finally made its way in front of a jury in 1986, the jury found in favor of the defendants and that no libel occurred.
Still, it was a fascinating event in comic book history, and thanks to commenter Rob M for reminding me I really ought to spotlight it (he didn't specify here, but here's as good a place as any).
Okay, that's it for this week!
Thanks to the Grand Comics Database for this week's covers! And thanks to Brandon Hanvey for the Comic Book Legends Revealed logo!
Feel free (heck, I implore you!) to write in with your suggestions for future installments! My e-mail address is email@example.com. And my Twitter feed is http://twitter.com/brian_cronin, so you can ask me legends there, as well!
As you likely know by now, in April of last year my book came out!
Here is the cover by artist Mickey Duzyj. I think he did a very nice job (click to enlarge)…

Za'Darius Smith Named Shrine Game Defensive Most Outstanding Player
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky defensive end Za'Darius Smith was tabbed the East-West Shrine Game Most Outstanding Defensive Player on Saturday at Tropicana Field in Tampa, and has accepted an invitation to play in the Reese's Senior Bowl on Jan. 24 in Mobile, Ala., televised live on the NFL Network.
Smith, a native of Greenville, Ala., had two tackles, including a quarterback sack, along with a QB hurry in the Shrine Game as the East defense limited the West offense to only 93 yards total offense. Smith is the first Wildcat to earn all-star game honors since safety Melvin Johnson was the most outstanding defensive player of the Senior Bowl following the 1994 season.
UK offensive lineman Darrian Miller also played for the victorious East squad, which posted a 19-3 victory. The duo give UK 19 all-time players in the Shrine game and mark the first since Darryl Bishop and Frank Lemaster in 1973, when the game was played in Miami.
As a senior for UK in 2014, Smith ranked third on the club with 61 tackles, starting all 12 games. A 6-foot-6, 263-pounder, he added 4.5 sacks, 7.5 tackles for loss and four quarterback hurries. In two years at UK, Smith totaled 120 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks.
On Saturday, Smith will be the first Wildcat to play in the Senior Bowl since Derrick Locke following the 2010 season and will be the 32nd player in UK history to suit up in the Senior Bowl. He will be on the North team. Wildcat All-America defensive end Alvin "Bud" Dupree, who was originally scheduled to play in this year's Senior Bowl, will not participate.

ROBINSON IN NFLPA BOWL: Kentucky wide receiver Demarco Robinson also played in the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl on Saturday for the National Team. The third player in UK history to see time in the NFLPA Bowl, Robinson returned two punts for 37 yards, including a 22-yard return.
Robinson played in all 12 games as a senior in 2014, totaling 33 receptions for 501 yards, including a long of 79. He returned 24 punts for a total of 178 yards, including a long of 22 and 10 kickoff returns for a total of 195 yards, with a long of 41. Robinson had1,028 receiving yards to become just the 24th player in UK history to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a career.

Transition Year (TY) is a one-year school-based programme between Junior Cycle and Senior Cycle. It is designed to act as a bridge between the two by facilitating the smooth transition from the more dependent learning of the Junior Cycle to the more independent self-directed learning required for the Senior Cycle
All second-level schools have the option of offering the Transition Year programme to their students and most of them do offer it. The Transition Year programme follows the Junior Cycle and is generally seen as the first year of a three-year Senior Cycle programme. However, Transition Year is not in fact the first year of the Leaving Certificate programme, which is a two-year cycle.
The Transition Year offers students an opportunity:
You can read the Transition Year programmes: guidelines for schools on the website of the Department of Education and Skills.
The Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) has a section on their website dedicated to providing detailed information on the Transition Year.
Areas of study may include:
You can find more information about the TY curriculum on the PDST website.
Teachers have the chance to design programmes and courses tailored to the needs and interests of students. Parents, the community and local enterprise can bring new kinds of learning opportunities to the students.
Students get the opportunity to sample a wide range of subject areas and can make more informed choices about the kind of Leaving Certificate programme they want to follow after the Transition Year. Transition Year is optional and admission criteria vary from school to school.
When drawing up the Transition Year programme, schools are encouraged to involve parents in the decision-making process and in the planning. To assist in the decision-making process, most schools arrange sessions for parents of third-year students to discuss the Transition Year programme, while a specifically designed 'Student Introduction to Transition Year' seminar can be run for the Junior Cycle students themselves. Some parents make their expertise available to the school during the Transition Year as visiting speakers, others may assist in the Work Experience Programme while all parents are invited to contribute to the evaluation of the programme. You can find further information in this list of frequently asked questions on the Transition Year Programme.
There is no end-of-year state examination in the Transition Year - a decision made by the Department of Education and Skills to ensure that the focus of the year was learning-led rather than exam-driven. The activity-based learning ethos of the year requires each school to engage in school-based assessment, which helps students to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as develop the skills of self-assessment and reflection. Assessment is ongoing, with portfolio assessment, project work, and exhibitions of students' work. Oral aural, practical and written activities all form part of this assessment process. Since 2000, the Department has issued an official Transition Year Certificate to participants in addition to schools providing their own school-based certification.

God's Children Grow in Love, Holiness, and Good Works
Case 10: God's Purpose for His Children
Clue: 4
Day by day, as you change to resemble Christ Jesus more and more, what will God and others begin to see in your life?
Day by day, as I change to resemble Christ Jesus, God and others will begin to see more holiness, more love toward them, and more good works in my life. Ephesians 2:10 – For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
The Difference
This Truth Makes
If you are a Christian, then you are God's work of art. In Ephesians 2:10, the Bible says we are His "workmanship." This word carries the idea of a "masterpiece." Just like a famous artist's finest painting is called "a masterpiece," so God's children are "masterpieces" of the greatest Artist.
Have you ever seen an artist paint a portrait of someone? The more a portrait resembles (looks like) its subject, the better the artist is! God saved us to be living portraits of His Son, Jesus Christ. When people look at our lives, they should see not only us, but Jesus. Jesus loved God and others. He was holy (separate from sin and separate unto God). He did good works.
The Bible says that, as God's masterpieces, we were created to do good works. We are not saved by doing good works – but we have been saved to do good works!

Genomic Medicine was a term for when a person had his own genome sequenced. This revolutionized medicine for a lot of people.
(Note: The background section of this page uses most of the same words as the DNA computers page of Terra Futura to save time.)
Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is a molecule which holds the genetic information of a living organism. Frederich Mischer discovered it in 1869. However, it was not until 1953 that the double helix was discovered. The men who discovered the double helix were James Watson and Francis Crick. When DNA was discovered, few ever thought it could be used for anything. In 1984, however, Sir Alec Jeffries used DNA to prove paternity. In 1988, DNA evidence was used to convict Colin Pitchfork of the murders of Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth. In 1993, the Human Genome Project was started. It was intended to decode the entire human genome using computers. The project succeeded by 2001. It was thought that genetic engineering would soon take off. This was helped by a DNA computer.
In 1994, just as the Human Genome Project was starting, scientist Leonard Adelman of the University of Southern California demonstrated a successful DNA computer. Much of the success that followed came from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. The scientists there developed a successful DNA computer in 2002. They incorporated a module that could cure cancer in 2004. After that, the DNA computer was commercialized. DNA computers never found there way into consumer products. However, DNA computers were used to better diagnose conditions. This made for better medicine. This also helped in improving the process of genetic engineering, thus allowing genetic disorders to be cured without compromising the good parts of the genes that caused them. It was a revolution in biotechnology.
Tech Level: 10
The cost of the Human Genome Project had cost $3 billion. It was predicted that by 2020 the cost would go down far enough for everyone to have their personal genome on a CD. While working at Stanford, scientist Stephen Quake perfecting whole genome sequencing. The cost went down as far as $1,000 by 2015. By that point, a whole lot of people had their genomes sequenced. Laws had been passed to ban genetic discrimination. By 2020, the cost had gone down to $100. By then, almost everyone had their genomes sequenced. Already, many people were taking medicines that were targeting specific genes. Lifespans increased as a result. Soon, genetic disorders would be cured.

Doomsday Bill
February 29, 2012 by staff
Doomsday Bill, The Wyoming House of Representatives on Tuesday narrowly voted down legislation to launch a study into what the state should do in the event of a complete economic or political collapse in the United States.
House Bill 85 was rejected 30-27 in a final House vote, as opponents said the task force wasn't needed and that the bill's message had already been delivered thanks to significant national media coverage of the legislation in recent days.
The bill would have created a state-run government continuity task force, which would study and prepare Wyoming for potential catastrophes, from disruptions in food and energy supplies to a complete meltdown of the federal government.
The task force also would have looked at the feasibility of Wyoming issuing its own alternative currency, if needed. The original legislation asked for $32,000 to fund the task force; the Joint Appropriations Committee subsequently halved that.
The bill's sponsor, state Rep. David Miller, R-Riverton, said he didn't anticipate any major crises hitting America anytime soon. But with the national debt exceeding $15 trillion and protest movements growing around the country, Miller said Wyoming — which has a comparatively good economy and sound state finances — needs to make sure it's protected should any unexpected emergency hit the U.S.

Perspectives on Contemporary Spanish American Theatre (Bucknell Review)
The burgeoning Spanish American theater is relatively unknown to the wider reading public. In this collection of nine essays, specialists in Spanish American theater examine social and esthetic issues reflected in today's vital drama. Included are topics such as the demythologizing of received history, the revision of classical myth and tragedy to express social marginality, and the extent to which these tragedies can be culture-specific.

Walcott told to get nasty
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has been told he needs to get nasty if he is to fulfil his huge potential.
By Rob Parrish
Last Updated: 10/08/08 11:20am
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has been told he needs to get nasty if he is to fulfil his huge potential in the Premier League.
Gunners goalkeeper Manuel Almunia believes the talented teenager needs to work on just one aspect of his game ahead of the new season.
Almunia believes Walcott, who joined Arsenal as a 16-year-old from Southampton in January 2006, has to stop being such a 'lovely guy' when he steps onto the field.
The Spanish shot-stopper told the News of the World: "Theo is ready to take on more responsibility. He has the support from the fans, the club and his team-mates.
"He is one of the best players in the squad. The only thing he has to improve is an aspect of his character.
"He's a very lovely guy - maybe too lovely on the pitch.
"I keep saying to him he has to become more nasty. After this he will be one of the best players in the Premier League."
And Almunia feels Walcott should follow his own example as he emerged from Jens Lehmann's shadow to establish himself as the club's No.1 last season.
He added: "I believe I'm a good example. I came from a small club in Spain and when you are young at a club like Arsenal it can be difficult.
"But if you use all the facilities on offer and have the determination you would be stupid not to improve.
"Theo knows it's going to be his season and is ready to give 100 per cent."

Okposo tallies twice as Islanders down ThrashersFeb 2, 2011 - 3:11 AM
P.A. Parenteau registered a goal and an assist, while Travis Hamonic tallied his first career NHL goal for the Islanders, who snapped a three-game slide and won for only the third time in their last 11 overall.
Kevin Poulin turned aside 25-of-26 shots to pick up the win.
Freddy Meyer accounted for the lone goal for Atlanta, which has dropped eight of its last 10 contests. Ondrej Pavelec, playing in his 100th NHL contest, made 29 saves in defeat.
"We spent too much time in our zone tonight," Pavelec said. "They came in and played a hard game and won the battles and the game. We have to find a way to win these games and protect our building."
Atlanta opened the scoring with 5:29 left in the first on a fluke goal. Poulin stopped Meyer's shot from a severe angle, but the puck went off the stick of Hamonic, who stood behind the net, and deflected off Poulin's pad before going in.
Hamonic then pulled the Islanders even at 5:23 of the second, when his shot from the point hit a Thrasher in front and got by Pavelec.
The Islanders took control late in the stanza by striking for a pair of goals one minute apart.
First, Okposo put home a rebound from the low slot with 3:21 remaining after some sustained pressure on the Thrashers' net.
Then, with the Islanders skating on the power play, Parenteau's wrister from the left circle beat Pavelec on the stick side with 2:21 to go, and New York took the 3-1 lead into the intermission.
"I think we just settled down and found our legs, and we really wanted to take it to them," Okposo said. "We're trying to come in here with a new attitude after the break and thought we played pretty well."
Okposo finished a 2-on-1 with Michael Grabner at 11:19 of the third to give the Islanders a three-goal cushion, and they played a solid defensive game from there.
Game Notes
Atlanta forward Evander Kane returned to the lineup after missing the last four games with a lower-body injury...The Islanders improved to 8-15-3 on the road this season, while Atlanta fell to 12-10-5 as the host.

Donald Trump Hair
May 14, 2011 by Post Team
Donald Trump Hair, It is one of the great mysteries of our time – like the origin of the birth of Barack Obama or, to quote the president himself, forged the way landing on the moon, what really happened in Roswell, and where Biggie and Tupac. Is the hair of Donald Trump?
Anyone with eyes can see the Donald has some creative style habits. Everyone assumes their hair worthy of A Flock of Seagulls, is a complex series of combovers – as The Daily Mail chart two years ago.
But Trump has spoken. There is a combo-more, he says. In fact, Trump said his whole morning routine (using Head and Shoulders shampoo) to Rolling Stone reporter Erik Hedegaard:
… "Then my hair. Yes, I use a comb." He pauses, frowning, throwing her head back to capture the details of the event. "I do not comb forward? No, I do not comb it forward." Pushes the edge of the wing wheel of your hair back to show where the hairline. "I do not really have a bad hairline. When you think about it, not bad. I mean, I have a lot of credit for comb-overs. But in fact there is a comb-over. It's a little forward and back. I combed the same way for years. The same, at all times. "
Hedegaard not go on to note that Trump, after having shown his hairline, was full of it. But we've all seen the pictures – Trump's hair is certainly some action from the first comb.
