The TV and Streaming Thread: Where is Ricky Gervais when you need him???
First, read the Hawkeye series by Matt Fraction and David Aja from 2012. That's where Kate Bishop comes into her own and it is also the main inspiration for the TV show. Regarding Young Avengers, you might want to try the 2013 series by Kieron Gillen(yes, the PC game journalist is now an acclaimed comic book writer) and Jamie McKelvie. It is really quite good and Kate Bishop features extensively in it. Regarding Moon Knight, the run by Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz from the early 80s is probably the only one really worth reading. As you say the writing is not always great, but Sienkiewicz's work is always great, even if this came before New Mutants and Elektra: Assassin where he really knocked it out of the park. Anyway, I also really enjoyed that trailer, and it made me really hopeful for the series, when I was figuring it would be totally ignorable.

If the bread you eat can be described by elementary solid geometry, you can only be classed as evil. Case in point, my step daughter. Also, if the bread is previously sliced, it's just criminal.

A deadpan "What a maniac" is certainly something I wouldn't usually expect to hear from a news anchor live on TV.

It's not the hand sign that makes a flag pledge by school children a bit on the fascist side.

That's supposedly a very christian Italian lady called Lucia, worshiped in Sweden, and totally coincidentally quite blonde.

I thought they already taught that in the US, in between the allegiance to the flag lessons.

As I heard it "right to work" actually means "right to die while working". Generally speaking labor law in the US appears to be a joke played on American workers, but a significant percentage of them appear to be fine with it. But that's what you get with basically 100 years of stoking anti union sentiment. Now, it's not like labor laws in Europe are a wonderful panacea to all of the workers' problems, but at least they are not a trash fire being revered on an altar by a bunch of people who are being slowly poisoned and killed by the fumes.

Actually, fairies are like that everywhere, but in other countries they got makeovers for the sake of the children.

I have to wonder what exactly Meijer had going through his head in the four years leading up to his getting elected. Was he utterly unaware of what the GOP is, somehow?

In Spain people eat octopus. Because it is really, really tasty. Anyway, I don't see what's the deal with sentience. Of course octopi and lobsters are sentient. So are cows, lambs, pigs, chickens, turkeys, frogs, snails, elk, pheasant, all sorts of fish. And
