OT: A sure sign of the apocalpyse

I'm sorry if I'm starting a bit too many threads, but since I just came to this forum after perusing for months, there's so many things I wanted to say on this board for awhile.

Here's three things I've found recently in comics that are more entertaining the most of the content of comics themselves.

From a recent Wizard Magazine talking about an upcoming flick, "...expect the fright-fest to continue with "Man-Thing", which boasts at least one element that'll pack the fanboys into local cineplexes---nudity!"

Yea, no wonder no one likes comic book fans. They crowd into small spaces to watch human bodies. What rebels.

Another one from Wizard about a character in 1602, "...and his Victorian counterpart..."

Victorian counterpart? Evidently the editors missed the fact that the Victorian Era didn't begin until the second half of the 19th century, far from the 17th.

Oh, and here's my favorite, from Marvel Previews, about Spider-Girl, "Plus: an unexpected cliffhanger!"

An UNEXPECTED cliffhanger!? Oh. my. God. In fact, I'm requesting that ALL cliffhangers in comics be unexpected! No, really!

Any to add?
