WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get.
It's the "advanced editor" option in the User CP that allows you to type without knowing any BB codes. I only asked because as I was quoting you, I noticed superfluous bold tags on blank lines.

I haven't really read any Winnick since he left Marvel (although I hear he's raised suck to a whole new level.)

Winick wrote this.

Good night, everybody.

Wow. That was hilarious. I had to look to see if Dennis Leary wrote that blog, it was so twisted. No wonder people ***** about him all the time. I actually now judge myself for proposing the above. DC, if you would like to destroy Marvel, send Winnick back.

As penance, here's a review of something that's been running on Marvel for a while:

The Marvels Channel: Monsters, Myths, And Marvels - Written by Frank Tieri and art by Juan Santacruz, this is another one of Marvel’s DigiComic exclusives. And again, not a groundbreaking story, but fun. The gist of is that M,M, and M is a Cable Show and its host is trying to debunk Galactus’ existence. Along the way he interviews the Wizard in prison who, correctly, points out that the FF started out their career by “stealing a freaking spaceship!”, Henry Gyrich, who is currently a mall guard (I know, I know, it really doesn’t fit anybody’s definition of continuity, but gives some great gags), a college room-mate of Wyatt Wingfoot’s who claims to have impersonated Galactus as part of the hoax, Hindsight Lad (formerly of the New Warriors) who now runs a Superhero-related Conspiracy Theory newsletter, and Hawkeye (probably not) who has his face blanked out during the interview.

The art was solid and causes me to wonder how much comics cost to produce based on just creating it (in other words, how much do they have to pay the writer/artist/inker/letterer etc.), because the last two I read were solid efforts. And they really don't make money off of them (I doubt anybody is rushing off to subscribe just to get these....well, I did hear a guy in the comic shop say he was going to because of the upcoming Fin Fang Foom exclusive)

I'm also curious what the eventual fates of some of these will be. If they get enough buzz, will they be promoted to trades?

Again, this probably isn’t something I would’ve picked up on the rack, but for free, it was an extremely enjoyable read. The second of Marvels exclusives that I’ve really liked.
