We all have our crosses to bear...

Beloved tech pundit and gadfly Andy Ihnatko agrees to give Marvel another chance, like any abused spouse. He dove into Secret Invasion, Marvel's annual big crossover thingy. You can tell he knows it's a mistake, but he goes there anyway.

About to read "Secret Invasion" #1. Deeep breath. It'll be okay. Have faith. Two sets of footprints in the sand. I'm wearing a cup.

While I pity him is upcoming crossover letdown syndrom (CLS), it did give me the opportunity for some amusing (to me) blasphemy:

How come there are only three footprints in the difficult sections? Because Jeebus hopped on one leg after kicking me in the cup.

... and while I wrote this, AndyI twitted that he's closed the book unfinished because he doesn't expect them to even try to solve the huge problems they've created. At least he didn't allow himself to be pained for long...

Just move a few commas around and you've got a rock (or was it pop?) song...
