Well, I have no idea who this psychic guy is, hence my complete lack of response. Still, series two is only a couple of months away, so I'm sure I'll find out who he is.

Well, since my last post, I've downloaded copies of the cartoons and, to be frank, the majority of them aren't even satirical in a mild way and the others are incredibly mild by any satirical standards. As far as I can tell, the only thing that could be found objectionable is the fact that someone's...

Well, The Marvel TF comic is set somewhere in the Marvel multiverse (see all those Marvel; characters who appeared or got namechecked in the early US stories). And Unicron destroyed the previous universe (i.e. the one which Galactus is supposed to have originally come from). So, really, you'd expect...
