Batman Vs. Spider-Man

Today we're lucky to have Joshua Otero return to the fold. He handled the art chores for the Smurfs Vs. Avatar strip we did a few weeks ago. To see more of his work, you can check out his homepage or his blog or his portfolio or even his linkedin page.

Yeah so when I was growing up (last week), I had to often ask if something like "roommate" was one word, two words, or hyphenated. It seemed to happen almost everyday in casual conversation.

"Is 'everyday' one word, two words, or hyphenated?"
"Shut up, motherfucker!"
"Is 'mother fucker' one word, two words, or hyphenated?"
"You're getting an ass-kicking?"
"Is 'ass-kicking' one word, two words, or hyphenated?"
"Hai-Yah!"

And then, when I'd get out of the hospital...

Yeah, so that was my life.

But seriously, I'm not sure why different heroes do it differently. Is Batman more bat than Spider-Man is spider? By making Iron Man two words, is Tony Stark trying to put distance between his machine and his humanity? Who knows?

I do know that I love super heroes, and I love grammar. So that's something.
