They all do look different. Mister Miracle's, for instance, is woven into the fabric of his mask!

I'm surprised that some resourceful comic book fan hasn't yet designed a motherbox wallpaper app. for thew iphone.

I like JB's thought that a Motherbox is the opposite of an iphone and that it's like a portable soul. Although, if you've ever seen someone lose their iphone, you'd think that they had just lost their soul.

Stephen, think you are rgiht about people losing their soul.  As much as the iPhone is customizable with apps, it is kind of like a portable look into someone's entire being.

Kirby invented a lot of stuff that we just haven't built yet. And I'm betting when we do build it, it won't look as cool in operation as the Kirby version.

And one I find kind of cute because the Jack Kirby New Gods figures that came out a little while back included a Mother Box with Mister Miracle. I took him out of the package and said "well, that's redundant!"

Big Barda doesn't seem the type to keep tabs on her guy - she's not exactly insecure!

I'm getting the same result--or lack of result--on my Droid. I can browse the forum just fine, but I can't post.


Likewise.  Anyone who's able to post from an iPhone have any tips for us?

This is akin to "is it plugged in?", but for the people having problems posting with iPhones...are you logged into the forum via your user ID?  I can post with no problems via iPhone.
