For those of you with interest in comics (and I know you’re out there–that fluffy post on the Hellblazer movie got more comments in a short period of time than practically any of my “serious” posts), there is an interesting little article in the NYT on Jack Kirby: Jack Kirby Heroes Thrive in Comic Books and Film
My geeky observation is that while it is true that Kirby help create the X-Men, he didn’t create any of the ones cited in the piece: Storm, Colossus, Rogue or Wolverine. I mean, yeesh! Get with the program. But then again, it is the Times…
It’s pretty funny how this meme has spread around the blogs and net in general. Everyone is pretty much repeating the myth. I love it.

That Jack Kirby created Wolverine or my joke about the Times?
I get that as much from watching Letterman as anything else..
