This week's Young Justice was okay, but the scene with Red Tornado was priceless.

And wow, these kids, aside from Robin, really don't care about their secret identities, do they?

So, I finally finished Ex Machina today.

I gotta say, that ended up nowhere near where I thought it would (as opposed to Y which ended up just about where I expected, give or take a few casualties). The Lovecraftian thing was totally unexpected, as were a couple of different plot points (poor, poor Bradbury).

So if the ever make this into a movie/series, Adrian Pasdar HAS to play Mitchell, right? Even though he already kinda did on Heroes?

My only reaction to this week's Young Justice is: Holy shit, Mera is BAD ASS.

I know! I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I read some blog posts that helped me understand what Vaughan was doing, but, damn, that was depressing.

Ha! You're right, he would be perfect.

Oh, and it looks like they gave away Artemis' identity: [link]

So that means that Artemis is the daughter of Sportsmaster and if the rumors are to believed, Aqualad is the son of Black Manta .

No kidding.

Oh, and it looks like they gave away Artemis' identity.

I should have known to check her real name and see if it mapped to any existing DC characters. Huh.

I'd read the same rumor about Aqualad, and this episode did nothing to disuade it.

Oh, I also liked the bit with Garth and Kaldur about each being the option to be Aqualad and one of them choosing to do so and the other staying behind in Atlantis. Nice nod to the normal continuity.

Could have done without the obvious love triangle though.

Anyone else checked out Morning Glories, the hot new thing? It's like Runaways meets Lost by way of The Prisoner. It's very fun and interesting so far, and pretty fucked up.

Marvel has a new Venom title (#1 came out yesterday), drawn by Tony Moore (aka Walking Dead's Tony Moore), who happens to live in this area (not Cincinnati, but fairly close in Indiana). I did not realize this until recently, but Chatty!co-worker is really good friends with Tony Moore and goes over to draw in his studio and stuff about once a week.

So anyway, Tony did a signing last night of Venom #1 at the comic store that Chatty goes to, so I have a signed copy of Venom #1 on my desk. Pretty sweet.

(I do not have time to read it until I get home, because work is INSANE. [Although apparently I have time to post about it.])

Since I have not been keeping up with the Marvel universe, finding out who Venom is (spoiler: Flash Thompson ) blew my mind.

It had to happen sooner or later, because every single acquaintance in Peter Parker's life is either a villain or currently being held captive by one.

Owen and I made a custom Lego Venom last night! I can't find it to take a picture, though.
