Geeeez, Wake! *HUGS SO MUCH* I hope the next hospital visit goes a lot better, I'll be keeping my figures crossed.

COMICS TALK MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER.

Like you, I DO NOT GET and DO NOT WANT the Kon/Lori in his title. What...what? Whyyy? Why even have any sexual tension there at all? It totally confuses me that both of them seem to think it's a totally unremarkable thing and seem to assume they should be hitting on each other. Yergh.

Also, whyyyyy put Krul on that title? The characters! THOSE COVERS! Everything is perfect about them except that teeny tiny detail of who's writing it...

Also, there are many images of Clark Kent ripping his shirt off. Most of them don't look very, um, sultry. That one is...not one of those. o_o

Thank you for the hugs! I baked chocolate chip cookies yesterday and ate a bunch of them tonight as my final meal before fasting tomorrow :P The doctor is also making me take Ativan before the procedure, so things should go more smoothly. I will email you afterward to let you know how it went! Thank you for being so supportive. *hugs*

And the one time they talked about it, Lori was like "It doesn't count if you're a clone." YES, YES IT DOES! AAAAH!

I...I seriously want to buy those just to frame the covers and hang them up in my room or something. But I'm afraid DC will interpret the sales figures as an endorsement of Krul and give him more work! Whyyyy...

That one is...not one of those.

I am not positive, but I think the artist may have traced a male stripper. "Look at my crotch, ladies! And

IT TOTALLY DOES, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS EVEN TALKING ABOUUUUTTT. *hides eyes* I don't even like her much (although I suspect she's Under Alien Influence right now?) so I wouldn't be rooting for her even if she WEREN'T TOTALLY RELATED AUGH. Of course, this week any story Kon has manged to build up is derailed by Pointless Crossover. You'd think I could bring myself to care about the return of the character who killed Superman, but...no, not really, somehow.

Perhaps the aliens' plan is to gross us out with incest?!

I just read that issue today. I liked the beginning with Kon and Tim talking and Simon at Ivy Town (although I wish Ryan was there, of course), but I got bored very quickly during the fight with Doomsday. "Find out what happens in Action Comics!" Um, do I have to?

Meeeeep! *hugs you tight* I hope the doctors can discover what going on soon, and that it isn't anything serious. *hugs you again*

As part of DC's initiative to promote gender equality, Superboy will now be showing his abs off as much as Supergirl.

I approve of this!

I just like how everyone seems horrified by Superman's pronouncement except for Batman, who appears to be determining how much of an asset Wonder Woman really is to the League.

The thing that amuses me about that cover is how Wonder Woman is so much shorter than everyone else! I thought she was supposed to be the same height as Superman?

*clings to you*

Thank you so much! *hugs back* I hope the doctors are close to figuring out what's going on and that it's easily fixed! I feel...directionless without school to go to. I should use my time to catch up on your fic!

The thing that amuses me about that cover is how Wonder Woman is so much shorter than everyone else! I thought she was supposed to be the same height as Superman?

Now that you mention it, Aquaman (At least, I think that's the back of Aquaman's head) is really short too! Maybe they're standing in a hole? "No one can get in the way of Superman's dramatic posing!"

Flashpoint just leaves me absolutely cold.

It just seems like more of DC's continuity/elseworld navel gazing.

Tell some new stories for the love of all that's holy.

At least my books, Power Girl and Supergirl are being left out of Flashpoint.

I'm kind of interested in Flashpoint, but I definitely think they are going overboard with the tie-ins and minis.

I see that Matthew Sturges appears to be taking over Power Girl. Winick's run left me lukewarm, so I'm pretty happy about that. Kelly Sue Deconnick's issues of Supergirl look fantastic!

Superboy and Supergirl are basically cousins, right?
Yep. Kara told Zod that Kon was her cousin during World of New Krypton. And Kon agreed with that description of their relationship.

And my brain hurts thinking about a clone of a quasi-clone smooching a Bizzaro version of the quasi-clone's cousin.

My brain hurts too. They're probably hoping the kids won't think about it that much :P

Sorry you had to withdraw from classes, but I'm sure it's for the best until you get sorted out. But on the upside, you have FREE TIME! :D Yay comics and LJing and general non-academic stuff! School will be there waiting when you're ready to go back.

Poor thing, sorry about the seizure! I told the Aikido guys about it but stressed that you seemed pretty ok when you texted me. John said, "I'm used to y'ens now--I freak out when you don't come!" You're in all our thoughts :) We wub you!!!!

I fail at replying to comments in a timely manner >_<

I looked up the start date of summer quarter yesterday and found out that it's not until June 25th! I have almost two months of no school! I...need to make a plan or something. I'm the sort of person who does better with some imposed structure.

Thank you for telling the guys that I'm OK and for being so supportive in general! I wub you too!!!

Write some pr0n in your spare time! :D I'm your sports bra--I'll be supportive no matter what ^_^

It'll suck not having class this Friday, but at least I got to go to Todd's class Wednesday night, so I got my Aikido fix in for the week. Mike's only canceled about two Good Friday classes, and he probably wouldn't have done it if not for John:

John: We having class next Friday?
Mike: ? Oh, I forgot... well... I guess we could cancel.
John: *to everyone* No class Friday!
Me and Todd: *grumble grumble shake fists at John*
