GALACTUS IS STORMCLOUD!? If this is true, I'm speechless. How can the creators of Fantastic Four 2 screw up one of the most iconic characters in Marvel comics history? (Really, that's a silly question, given The X-Men). I mean, if Galactus were a potted plant or maybe a toilet seat, at least we'd get a laugh out of it.

Man Chi. Three-hundred hulking pounds of anime fan-flesh. His thick upper arm, a quavering mass of tattooed gelatin, reads "I Heart Mom."

Downtown Orlando is but a small, rubbery carrot in the American melting pot, a flip-flop of tourism in Florida. My girlfriend has taken me to a "BJD" get-together. The attendees are predominately female hobbyists from a message-board called "Den of Angels," and the "BJDs" are ball-jointed dolls, a breed of effeminate Asian manikins valued between $500 and $3000.
