Oh God, I'm frozen into near-speechlessness by that last picture.
I'm so very afraid. I know that covers lie, but... What if Ted chooses to still be killed to save Booster? Or someone else?
And yes, DC! Clear up the Superman/Jimmy relationship!
You would think that copy editors would know better than to write two characters names with a slash in between them. I mean, if they didn't want us to interpret it in that way : )
Unfortunately, Batman and Dr. Midnite chopped up fake!Ollie's body with a chainsaw. After leaving it in Dinah's basement in a freezer for a month. Because that is just how autopsies roll in the DCU.
not to mention the whole Connor-Hawke-makes-out-with-his-dad's-rapist thing, Huh? Ollie got raped? By a man or a woman? Conner is gay?
Does anyone know anything about the new writer, Sergio Aragones? Is he a good fit for The Spirit? He's best know for Groo, a super funny Conan sorta spoof that gets a lot deeper that you'd think. The more I think about it the more I can see him doing really well on Spirit.
Ollie got raped during the Mike Grell run on Green Arrow by a female mercenary archer named Shado. Ollie had been badly injured and was barely conscious when she climbed on top of him and... He thought it was Dinah. That was how Ollie's other illegitimate son, Robert, came to be.
In the recent Connor Hawke: Dragon's Blood miniseries by Chuck Dixon, Connor makes out with Shado. It's icky enough that he's getting it on with one of his father's former lovers and the mother of his half-brother, but then you add in the rape...
And Connor is gay, but DC won't admit it. That was part of the reason the whole making-out-with-Shado-thing came about. Pseudo-incest with your dad's rapist is better than TEH GAY!
Ahem. Sorry about the rant.
Thank you for the info on Aragones. I am hopeful now.
Aaah, I was wondering about the making-out-with-rapist thing from an author who is homophobic... but I see, the rapist is female.
I'm all for your decision not to buy his stuff. I don't know him, but there are too many haters in the world as it is without getting on some sort of public media and making snide comments. Argh.
The rape went unacknowledged for a long time because gee, what guy wouldn't want to be raped by a hot woman hur hur >_<
I doubt that my boycott will make much of an impact because Chuck Dixon has far too many fans. Still, I just can't read anything he writes without it leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
*hugs* I've missed you!!! I hope things are going well in Athens.
Now that I'm getting a healthier income, I'm going to try to hit up ACME again once a week. I feel like such a bad patron. :( I also want to try to buy something from Book World at least once every other week or so. Gonna try to make a proactive effort to support small business.
Ugh... cold annoying me... perpetual state of having-to-sneeze... must... knock self out... with benadryl and... get some sleep... zzzzz.

Is there a "We need more Super-bondage" memo going around the DC offices?
If not, there totally should be.
And yes, DC! Clear up the Superman/Jimmy relationship! I need some closure after seeing Jimmy ripping his shirt off... @.@

Um, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "no."
I'm going to agree with you there, LOL. Especially since we see Batman in his... bat underwater thing rescuing his boyfriend from evil!Aquaman.

What is that thing? It's like a cross between a submarine and a diving suit with wings.

I just can't stop buying my comics from Mike, even though I've moved to Athens! I tried, but I feel too guilty...
What comics are you buying currently?
I'm sorry you are so sick! *sends healing vibes your way*
