Apparently Adam West got his own comic and someone forgot to tell me about it.  Which was probably a good thing.  Just look at those plot summaries!  ADAM WEST IN ANCIENT EGYPT.  WITH JULIE NEWMAR.  :'D I literally laughed until I cried.

And look, now it's got a sequel!! *dies* Or maybe it's a spinoff.  I'm not entirely sure.  I'm torn between ( Read more... )

Tip #112:

You're looking at the uniforms on the drum majorettes (?) from the Alabama band at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, notice they've got red star-like things on a sparkling silver background, and immediately think "They stole Captain Atom's uniform!" which is eventually followed by "I'd pay to see Captain Atom wear that in a comic."

( Everyone else has complained about it, I might as well too. )

Apparently, Newsarama has recently posted a list of the "10 Moments in DC History Worth Forgetting."  They've got the usual suspects--Action Comics #592-593, Rise of Arsenal, Identity Crisis, etc., but what surprised me the most was item five, which is in fact Nightwing #93.  Now, if you have followed this lj for any length of time, you know I ( Read more... )

**SPOILERS for Cry for Justice and Showcase #99.**

Today was my very last trip to Border's. *sniff* The comic book section looked like Hurricane Irene came and wrecked it--the shelf was half-empty, disorganized, everything was falling over.  I almost bought Wednesday Comics, because I've heard it was fun, but the thing was literally twice as big ( Read more... )

Dear DC,

So now you're reviving Ryan Choi and de-benching Cassandra Cain.  Good for you.  But I don't care anymore.  You're STILL benching Donna Troy, you're STILL not bringing Lian back, you're STILL giving Rob Liefeld work, you're STILL messing with my Titans, and ONE OF YOUR WRITERS THINKS AFRICA IS A COUNTRY.  (Seriously, the hell is wrong with ( Read more... )

Dear DC Comics,

YOU. SUCK.

Seriously, I didn't even LIKE Lian and I want her back.  And as for what you're doing to Wally... WHY DO YOU HATE THE TITANS?!?!!  They saved your asses back in the 1980s and now all we've got left is Nightwing and Arsenal?!  And Cyborg, who I'm not counting because he apparently was never WITH the Titans anymore.  ( Read more... )

So I went to Borders, along with what seemed like everybody else in the neighborhood.  Normally I'm pretty much alone when I look at the comics, but today there were always one to three others there with me.  It was almost more than my anti-social nerd tendencies could take!! X_X And a lot of the shelf was kind of a mess.  It was pretty sad.

My ( Read more... )

...correct me if I'm wrong, but when the DC Reboot kicks in, superheroes will only have been around for the past five years, am I right?  First off, that automatically means the Justice Society of America (Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Ted Grant, etc., etc.) no longer exists.  And that sucks.  But that's not my main problem.  My main problem is that, if ( Read more... )

So apparently Borders is finally shutting down.

This really does disappoint me.  You know all those entries tagged "bookstore"?  Borders is the bookstore I was talking about.  I'd say somewhere around 85% of all my TPBs, as well as random assorted issues of Tiny Titans and Brave and the Bold AND my copy of the Superman/Batman: Public Enemies film,  ( Read more... )
