"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Was Prez the president?

Heh, no (or at least they didn't mention who was).

I've got an issue of that somewhere too (or did). It was a riff on the Fischer/Spasky tournament (although decidedly more colorful).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm suddenly unsure if you intend 'had x issues' to mean that you owned those comics

Owned them. I loved them at the time. They were "relevant" and I was 12. It was a whole big 70s relevant thing. (cf., Green Lantern and Green Arrow)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Chynna Clugston (nee, Clugston-Major), she of the very mod/anime styled comic Blue Monday is going to be doing a Legion of Superheroes comic.

She's already done an issue of Teen Titans Go!

I love her stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey! J Torres! He used to be Colin's roommate. World==small.

There's a surprising amount of comics/TV crossover in LA.

They were roommates back in Montréal, though.

John Rogers is the textbook comics/TV/Montréal guy. J and Colin are both one short.

I wonder if J and John know each other...I doubt they did back at school, although John and Colin did.

That just emphasizes the TV/comics synergy.

Is "synergy" still a word?

But NSM the LA part.

Or something.

Whoo! With my comic collection eaten by Katrina, this is just the sort of thing I need.
