" That's Ryan Reynolds? It doesn't look like him...  "but I’ve always wondered how you can get one of those things to stay on your face if it doesn’t have a string on it." I heard/read somewhere that there was a special kind of glue for those kind of masks... and I am not just talking about fictional superheroes, I mean people who cosplay. "

How can anyone claim ownership to the term "superhero"?  NOT defending Vivid, but superhero is a bit of a loose term, isn't it?   

Even under today's ridiculous Intellectual Monopoly regime, parody is protected expression. I don't know why anyone would expect most comic fans to get upset about any alleged infringement, whether actual or imaginary, especially since:
1) Many of them write fan-fiction, which is actually infringing, it's just that most IP holders choose not to pursue it
2) Many of them download comic book torrents (so-called "piracy").
 
I really doubt the sincerity of anyone who claims to be angry over the "rights" of a faceless corporation to a character that they had no part in creating and rightfully should be in the public domain by now.

ha perfect! But must add is in Lockjaw really a man turn into an animal? "

How about someone actually uses the magic little FLAG link to highlight what's going on?!  
 
None of these childish posts have anything to do with the subject at hand.  At this very moment, I'm at work with limited access to the internet.  But this has been brought to my attention, and it has to be dealt with. 
 
Therefore, there will be a delay before I address the individuals concerned.  I need the time & faster access I have at home to deal with this situation.

 

But from now on: STAY ON TOPIC & BE CIVIL TO EACH OTHER.

At least he has a face.

So, moderators...how many times can this guy brazenly threaten violence before he gets the banhammer? Because if that's not against the rules, I hope you never, ever banned anyone else or deleted their posts.

I don't see how you can call this censorship, which implies actual coercion, when the Comics Code Authority was entirely self-inflicted. If they "had" to do it in order to sell the comics because their distributors wouldn't carry books without the seal, then there's not much to complain about. They're responding to consumer demand, and their re-sellers have every right to hold them to whatever standards they deem appropriate.
