"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd
Much to my surprise I see no mention of the upcoming Transmetropolitan Art Book. The quick rundown;
- It's a hardcover book being produced through Kickstarter.
- It's for charity, primarily the CBLDF.
- It's all new artwork produced by a wide variety of artists (me included). A partial list of artists is at the link below.
- Contrary to a misleading article, it's not a collection of con sketches.
- There's just over two weeks to donate. A $55 donation gets you the hardcover edition. A $79 donation gets you the slip-cased edition.
The link is here.
I'm looking forward to it, so pardon the blatant advertising. I wanted to make sure you guys knew of it too.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just spent the last 40 minutes painting a Lego minifigure to look like Deadpool at Owen's request.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So is anyone else watching Young Justice?
I thought last week's episode was kind of meh, whereas I enjoyed this week's quite a bit. Except for Sportsmaster. Really? Casey Jones was laughable enough as a good guy. (Yes, I'm sure the Sportsmaster character has decades of history, or whatever, but he's still silly.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm watching. I'm still a little annoyed about how boy-centric the show is. (Where's Dinah? I was promised Dinah!). I think I've guessed the plot twist about Artemis even before they've introduced the character. (speculation: she's a Terra-like mole planted by The Light ) If it's true, then that won't help matters either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I just read a tumblr post that amongst others did the following Batfamily casting:
- Matt Bomer as Dick
- Gillian Anderson as Babs
- John Hamm as Bruce
- Matt Cohen as Jason
- Alona Tal as Steph
Matt as Dick! I'm having hairgasms.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's some pretty good casting. Hamm definitely has the chin for it. And Gillian as Babs should make Ple's head spin.

Hadn't heard that bit, but I agree. I do like Miss Martian, though I'm going to quickly tire of her "Duh, Megan" if it becomes her catchphrase.
As for your speculation, I certainly hope not. Though it would explain why they created a new character instead of just making her Arrowette.
I have to say, though I miss Connor and Tim, I am amused by Dick and Wally.
Glad Superboy was a lot less angsty this episode. Hopefully that trend continues. (That said, I can understand it, since he didn't have the nicest upbringing, and Superman [understandably] was just weirded out by the whole thing and more or less rejected him.) I just don't need to see alernating between moping and growling at people all the time.
