At the front of the gift shop at Six Flags yesterday, there were two very attractive Justice League shirts. I dragged Peter over to them while Avi was squishing pennies and said, "Okay, can you tell me what's wrong with these shirts? I can assure you that it's something that doesn't require any very specialized comics knowledge ( Read more... )

Good: maiac, pleasance, and mscongeniality gave me virtual balloons and I am surrounded by them (virtually, donchaknow) and I feel loved :)

Bad: ( DC Comics spoiler I just learned, because I'm out of the loop )

Dan DiDio, that [many many expletives deleted] has cancelled Blue Beetle! Seriously, with Robin, Nightwing and Blue Beetle gone, I'm not sure I have a reason to drag my butt to the comic store anymore.

However, I really enjoyed "All This For Us?" The Arrogance of Human-Centered Faith and I did want to point to it here ( Read more... )

I want to start by squeeing about the true and abiding love I have for this month's Brave and the Bold. ( Cut for spoilers for issue 13 )

I wasn't tagged...I just feel the need for this meme :D

List ten fictional characters you would have sex with (in no particular order) and tag 5 people to do the same.1. Daniel Jackson ( Read more... )

This is me, sitting on the couch, drawing sparkly hearts around Blue Beetle #24. ( Nobody's really surprised, right? )
