The Environment:Twitter users seem to totally hate Kansas State University's recently announced EcoKat, the school's recycling awareness hero (who kicks it with fellow EcoEnforcer Willie the Wildcat). Having graduated from KSU's rival the University of Kansas, I am naturally unbiased on the matter. I should probably point, though, that a Jayhawk and its baby walked by me at a KU basketball game once and I was all, "I like that fictional bird and its baby, I should totally recycle, man." Such was their capacity to inspire positive change. [The Huffington Post/LJWorld]
Toys: Speaking of One Piece, the series'friendly cyborg Franky is getting his action figure due in a big way from the Chogokin line. [Tomopop]
I like DC, I like justice league, but for some reason I dislike anything associated with Jim lees art. So o don't see myself purchasing the new JL series unless they change artist sometime soon. I dunno what it is about his art but I really dislike it. I think it's how he draws faces.....and bodies seem awkwardly proportioned.....on another note that mascot looks incredibly lame and I don't blame them for hating it. Should be like peters wildcat that threatened people with guns if they didnt recycle. Oh family guy you so silly @_@
I'm still holding out hope for a Hank Pym cameo as a SHIELD scientist or agent or something... feels wrong having an Avengers movie with both him and Wasp msising. Out of those two I'd prefer him to be around, 'cos he has the whole science thing going for him.
Totally agree with ya Shreyas. While the MCU has entered a great new era this year and this particular team of AVENGERS looks pretty rock 'em sock 'em, it would feel imcomplete without Hank and Janet.
