Agreed on both points.  
 
ROM was like Micronauts in that it was much better than it had any right to be based on it's original toy origins.
 
 

Didn't read a lot of ROM but it was well written and very poorly drawn.  I mean the art was really really bad, like I could hardly stand to look at it.  Dire Wraiths are awesome.

Ms Marvel, Kamala Khan.
 
My second favorite is the Atom, Ryan Choi.

How about Ryan Choi, successor to Ray Palmer as the Atom?
 
Although my favorite Asian "superhero" remains Shang-chi. During his long writing stint on the Master of Kung-Fu title, Doug Moench gave the character so much depth, growth, and variety. I know he isn't technically super, but his skills let him compete with some genuine superhuman folks.

You should do that.  The Average White Band had some pretty good songs.

Nor virtue.

That is part of why I'm doing it. At this point, careful checking and apologizing for inaccuracy almost feels like resistance.

This chart is a good look at how the tax bill would effect income groups collectively, but I was curious what it would do to average individual tax bills.  Unfortunately, the Joint Committee on Taxation's report didn't have a chart addressing individual average tax payers.  However, it did have all the information that I needed to make my own.
 
Here it is.
 

 
Notice that while there are some nice take breaks in the beginning, nobody is coming all that far ahead by 2027.  If you are making over a million dollars a year, that $13,506 tax break is going to be virtually unnoticeable.  On the other hand, if you are earning between $10,000 and $20,000 that $318 dollar tax increase is going to devastating.  People making between $10,000 and $20,000 are usually watching every dime and don't have an extra $318 laying around.
 
Really, this bill is a huge amount of pain for very little gain, and is going to add over a trillion dollars to our national debt.  Just a colossal turd sandwich no matter how you look at it.

The joint Committee on Taxation has determined how much the GOP tax bill will change taxes for Americans at each income level:
 

 
Notice I said "change", not "reduce".

Here is where the matter of viewing differently that I mentioned comes into play.  Perhaps I have a significantly higher view of politicians than you or maybe I have a lower view of people in general and don't view politicians as harshly as a result, but whatever the case, Nixon and Trump are the only top party nominees of my life time that I consider to be bad people.  All the elections not involving one of the two of them have been matters of choosing the greater good.
 
Ford - Good man. I have nothing negative to say about him.
Carter - An extremely good man, but a poor president.
Reagan - A good man (or an actor who did a good job playing one) but who fell in with a bad crowd
Mondale - Good man.
Dukakis - Good man. I have nothing negative to say about him.
Bush Sr - Good man and tireless public servant, but due to a life of wealth and privilege held a very inflated view of the importance of rich people.
Bill Clinton - A complex figure.  I believe that he really did his best to make the world a better place, but had a deep rooted insecurity due to abandonment by his father and a serious zipper problem.
Bob Dole - Generally a good man though as Speaker of the House he had obviously had to make some compromises over the years.
Al Gore - Like all politicians enjoys the spotlight, but a good man nonetheless.
Bush Jr - A good man, but not really smart enough for the job and his vice president/puppet master was a piece of work.
Kerry - Very ambitious and probably did exaggerate his Vietnam heroic, but still a tireless public servant and a good man.
Obama - Good man.  Perhaps better than we deserved.
Romney - See description for Bush Sr
Hillary Clinton - A complex figure like her husband.  She has fought hard for the people and has done much real good, but life under partisan attack has left her very secretive and guarded.
 
I have little doubt that your mileage differs considerably, but that is my take on the presidential candidates of my life time. 
 

Before Doug Jones can be sworn in, the election results must be officially certified.  This is normal and it takes time.  When McConnell said that Strange would serve until the end of the session, he wasn't making some big, unconstitutional power grab as your article writer asserted.  He was just looked at the calendar, and stated the realistic facts.  Please avoid linking to articles that are long on hyperbole and short on accurate facts.
 
 
All elections are an effort to chose the lesser of two evils or viewed differently chose the greater of two goods.  People  are never black and white, they are always shades of grey and this includes politicians.
