wow, this is pretty cool.....

heheh Flame War

Dial H is a consistently entertaining and suitably weird title. The beings that are summoned up remind me of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, some of his most inspired silliness.

I dropped it a couple of issues back. The Doom Patrolesque weirdness and silliness kept it going, but it lacks an engaging narrative drive, so the novelty wore off for me. I might read the trades sometime down the line.

So I totally get flame war and trash talk, but wolf ticket goes straight over my head. Anyone know what that could be?

[filthysize]

It's an oldie slang among black people that also means trash talking. Basically a ticket to get mauled by a wolf, get it?

[icon_uk]

It's a new term to me to, so thanks for that.

[thezmage]

Thanks. This series sure is improving my knowledge of outdated slang.

[gunny]

it's a play on "Sellin' woof tickets" - engaging in threatening or intimidating verbal aggression, usually without the intent of actually doing physical harm.

I learned that from an old chicago gangster. It's so bizarre seeing it in a comic. lol

Superpowered Canadian operatives?

The devil, you say.

[darkblade]

Canada tends to get evil or at least anti-heroic supers doesn't it?
