In between sarcastic barbs and petty disputes, let's take a moment to appreciate the Mantlos.
The co-creator of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' fan favorite has lived in a nursing home since being injured in a hit-and-run accident 25 years ago.

Mike Mantlo is the brother of legendary Marvel Comics writer Bill Mantlo. Years after co-creating Rocket Raccoon, Bill was injured in a hit-and-run accident that caused permanent brain damage. Now, thanks to financial arrangements made by Marvel that allowed for Rocket's new life in the Guardians of the Galaxy films, Bill will finally be able to move out of the nursing home where he's lived since 1995 — and into a new home next door to his brother's.
I adore Marvel for doing right by them.

Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it. Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice. Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage. Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do. Let me do right to all, and wrong no [person].

Or is that DC and Bob Kane? I can't remember, honestly.

	What after all, is a halo? It's only one more thing to keep clean.
