JB, who else would you count among the 'we' mentioned in this quote? And what 'lessons' should we have learned from superhero comics?

It was funnier last time. This seems less inventive.

That's me and Matt Reed.  However, the Asian guy pictured?  They've been trying to pass that off as Joe Zhang for years, and, as I've noted before, it's not Zhang. 

I guess to the average lonely comic nerd all Asians look alike or something.  The racism of it takes away from the fun - still, in the end, it's still funny that some nerds somewhere are so lonely that they hang on our every word.  They get on our case for interacting with John Byrne, while they lose sight of the fact that it's a healthy interaction - while their obsessing, sexually at some times, vaguely threatening at others, on people from an internet message board is so far off that scale...well...

But in the end, it's flattering - that people hang on our every word, our every action - we have our own little nerd papparazzi!  And considering that the kind of lonely comic nerd who has time to keep up with the comings and going of average people on an internet message board is also the type of geek who couldn't pick a vagina out of a police line-up, well... I can't decide if I should laugh at or pitty these poor racist bastards!

Actually, the guy in the flyer is a "Joe Zhang". You can find him under an image search in Yahoo. But he's not me. Thanks for the defense, though.
