Okay, this reboot thing is managing to terrify and frustrate me - retconning Babs back into Batgirl? And who the hell knows what else? Presumably deleting younger characters I love all along the way?  I can't even throw my hands up and say "AAARGH! DC I AM NOT BUYING YOUR BOOKS ANYMORE, TAKE THAT" because I did that when Lian was fridged, and they ( Read more... )

I was so frustrated that I didn't have a scanner to share these pages with the world at large, until faile_neume came to my rescue and uploaded them for me.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a comic book since...since....since Batman The Ebay Sniper! Or at least since the Golden Age World's Finest covers I was perusing for DCx3 icon material. Anyway, it ( Read more... )

Today is the last day of my unexpected vacation. I should probably have spent more of it doing productive things, like attending to the pile of dishes in my sink and the dog hair in the carpet. Instead, I spent the hour-and-a-half putting this image-heavy post together for scans_daily, because the issue I was referencing for Darla's near-miss (for ( Read more... )

Once again, actual comics have proven themselves to be more cracktastic than anything we fans could dream up.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #583 : Spidey Meets the President!

That's right - an Obama and Spiderman team-up. WTF?

A while back, Obama went on record saying Spidey was his favorite superhero. Apparently Marvel decided to run with that.

NPR has a great ( Read more... )

So, we may now know who the people in the Nightwing and Flamebird costumes are...

Okay, that means nothing to you. Um. Nightwing (Dick Grayson, the first Robin) was originally inspired by the Kryptonian story of Nightwing and Flamebird as told to Dick by Superman, when Bruce told him he wasn't Robin anymore because he'd picked up a hustler in Crime ( Read more... )

I have hit the motherload. I have a new favorite place to find illegal goods: so many comics torrents!

I spent most of last night and this afternoon reading the entire runs of Nightwing and Young Justice (I skipped most of what I've already read - though not all, by any means, because baseball in outer space is funny).

So far, I have 670 (!) issues ( Read more... )

I have drifted from Fishes. I want to finish it, I really do. Comics are now eating my brain, though. I've mostly finished the Dick/Harry thing (which in my head is called Tom, Dick, and Harry, but I really need a better title than that), but I am still waiting on a report from canonistas as to whether my egyptology curator can in fact make a cameo ( Read more... )
