  1. I found myself a little annoyed over the Johnny Storm change... just because I feel like if you're going to make the change, at least make him match with his sister. The adoption angle just felt like a throw away excuse. Jimmy Olson on the other hand is a character who isn't tied to anyone else. I don't see how his ethnic background changes anything related to the character.

  8. I think I started following her because of you, so thanks for that! And the photo does look a bit wonky. :)
