In which we find the idea of Jack Kirby as G-d deeply comforting; "Jercules" is our new favorite insult; the difference between camp and divinity is good backlighting; Zeus does not have the moral high ground; Ron Lim's Captain Britain is the definitive cad; the Demon Druid is the saddest supervillain; Archangel broods like it's his day job; and Jay gets to do all the fun voices for once.
