Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Random Sunday afternoon geek-child creation project: Superhero A to Z, for Matilda to work on her pre-reading letter recognition skills. Teen Titans animated series-verse preferable (she knows them all well, plus more kid-friendly images), the more girls and women the better.

My preliminary list, which I know everyone else can make much better:

A is for Aqualad
B is for Batman and Beastboy
C is for Cyborg
D is for Daredevil
E is for Elastagirl (either Doom Patrol or Helen Parr, or both)
F is for Flash
G is for Green Lantern (who is mildly lame, but there just aren't a ton of G's)
H is for Hawkgirl
I is for Iron Man
J is for Jinx
K is for Kid Flash (a semi-repeat of F, but in the TT animated-verse he's SO FRICKIN' ADORABLE)
L is for ____________
M is for Mas Y Menos (there've got to be more, but I'm having brainfreeze on other candidates)
N is for Nightwing
O is for _____________
P is for Phoenix
Q is for Quicksilver
R is for Robin and Raven
S is for Starfire, Superman and Storm
T is for Terra
U is for ______________
V is for _____________
W is for Wonder Woman
X is for X-Men
Y is for ______________
Z is for _______________

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

Z is for Zatanna!

V for Vendetta!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

L is for Lightning Lad and the Legion of Superheroes.

Have you seen Bob McLeod's Superhero ABC? All made-up superheroes (and not enough girls), but very entertaining; my 4-year-old daughter loves it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

K is for Krypto

I had to look up Zatanna. If Wikipedia is any indication, she has the most buoyant boobs I've ever seen. And I used to have a subscription to Heavy Metal.

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

Not familiar with Power Girl? Though that is a hell of a picture.

Paul Dini's doing a new Zatanna book I was thinking about checking out, since he knows his lady magicians. But I think Grant Morrison is sucking up enough of my money right now.
