1. He's fighting for the common mutant, so unless you have an example where he acts elitist, I don't see it.

2. If this isn't flaming, I don't know what is.

I've become the King of Comicvine.

That would be frickin awesome. He was great as Lex on the show.

@razzatazz: Okay, cool. I'll give the next issue a shot.

@razzatazz: True, true. I guess the writer just didn't think about it. Sometimes writers get in the habit of writing in certain ways and don't question the logic of some of their writings.

I think a lot of writers tend to do this when writing different cultures, more specifically alien culture. One can't write a book in a alien language because no one would understand it. And if you write the work in English with a bunch of foreign words, readers will still feel like they don't understand what's going on. So a lot of writers tend "translate" the language to English so readers can understand and relate to it, while throwing in a few foreign words in order to make the setting feel like it actually could be a different place/culture.

Now I guess the reason why xats was used instead of minutes was because as you wrote, minutes is a human measurement and the writer may have thought that it wouldn't have made sense for an alien culture to use human time measurements (even though English is a human invention), or maybe thought it would be a neat/good idea to distinguish their culture from ours by giving them their own way of measuring time.

Is the series any good? I've thought about picking it up before, but never did under the assumption that it wasn't well written.

This is a really good list/blog. Good stuff.

@dmessmer: Dude, don't argue with this guy. I'm pretty sure he's a troll. Looking at his comment history, he mostly just writes about how great Dr. Psycho could be and how he should be in a relationship with WW. It's a gimmick.

Can't wait.
