Rawhide Kid

Any opinions?

Yeah, if I were gay, I'd be angry that Marvel seems to want to work in sterotypes. It looks more like an insult than a legit venture.

Give me a break.

Hey Crappy,

Bend over and take it from poppy

Well, I can't say the notion of Zimmerman handling the concept is promising, but I'm willing to give it a look as a longtime fan of John Severin. I'm hoping that any project he's involved in wouldn't be too godawfully LCD. We'll see, and then we'll know...

Hey, another young comic geek comes out of the closet. Good for you. You so clever.

Dear god, look at what you just said. I believe it is definitely working in stereotypes. Did you see the publicity pic of him blowing on his gun?
