Well boys it is mid morning here we are all safe and the house has no real damage. I've spent my morning cleaning the to the farm shop. It has a well with a 7000 gallon tank and thought I might need some extra water for the next few days and Access to the small tractor will be nice.
It's pretty bad here with lot of trees down no fatalities reported in Decatur county, but a little girl died in the county next to us.
Anyway we are safe and now it's time to clean up and wait for the power company.
I'm sending the wife and kids to North ga in the am.

Re: A Comic Cover A Day (is awesome)
Everyone fights a shark at some point in the late ’70s, even guys with flaming heads. Pencils (or maybe just layouts) by Ed Hannigan, inks (or maybe finishes) by Dave Cockrum.
Episode 1706 Talkback - Spotlight on the Hulk in the Silver Age
We're turning green (well, first gray, then green) with excitement to bring you this look at the beginnings of the greatest 'man vs. self' conflict dynamic in all of comics: scientist Bruce Banner... and the Incredible Hulk! It's a rampage through the first seven years of the Hulk's adventures, introducing his supporting cast, his most significant foes, his nigh-limitless might, and his increasingly fractured psyche, brought to you by comics scholar Gamma Cum Laude Chris Eberle and lowly lab-tech Adam Murdough. Go Go Go HULK! (2:05:58)
Listen here, puny humans!

Episode 1699 Talkback - Spotlight on SHAZAM! in the Atomic Age
The original era of the Original Captain Marvel came to a sad end in 1953... so what DID happen to the Marvel Family? How did they survive the rise of King Kull the Beastman, the baleful influence of the horror genre, and shameless attempts at Cold War/Korean War exploitationism, only to fall victim to a fate far more subtle and insidious, and to vanish into limbo for 20 years? Murd and Chris have some answers in this Spotlight episode covering the comics of the final fling of Fawcett Publications in the Fabulous Fifties (1950-53). (2:50:03)

Re: Avengers: Infinity War (Spoilers. Seen it? Discuss it here!)
Man it's going to be rough for Ant and Wasp to follow up back to back Billion Dollar movies.I have a feeling it doesn't have to hit a billion in sales in order to make a tidy profit... I think AM is a much lower budget franchise. Plus, I think it may be seen as a refreshing "antidote" to the big budget blockbusters of the past few months. I'm really looking forward to a tight, funny story, with great characters.
Re: Random Bits Not Worthy of their Own Thread...
Sigh... what do you do when one of your favorite writers turns into a total irredeemable dick?A lot of accusations are being thrown around by people who have exactly zero knowledge of what Mark actually said to the people at Antarctic Press. If people are pissed at Mark for things he’s actually said, that’s fine. Although it’s never been the case for me in my many interactions with Mark, I'm sure he comes across as a dick to many people. Mark has a temper and often says things he really shouldn’t. But I have no time for people who are calling for him to be fired from Marvel based on what they think (or assume or want to believe) he said.
I'm done with Mark Waid. I'm disgusted I have so many of his books on my shelf.
