Woe to the fucking wicked.

Some Halloween I will finally talk him into dressing up as Spider, and I'll go as one of the Filthy Assistants.

That would be very cool.

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

ita, is this you on Metafilter? Because otherwise, weird coincidence.

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

No, that's not me. But I'm on the cusp of a wave that's going to sweep the nation...

I asked on IO9 as well, and didn't get much. I'm not overly concerned with his origin comics, just want to know which of the trades are worth picking up.

FCBD looks kind of weak this year. Nothing really jumps out at me.

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

My store's holding the Avatar and Atomic Robo for me, but, yeah, other than that, didn't seem too exciting.

Okay, I have been looking at a metric shitload of Batfamily fanart, and I'm completely in love with Damian. But who is Colin?

But who is Colin?

Completely out of context, this made me laugh and laugh.

Damian is so great. Have you seen any of the B&R pages? I can probably dig up highlights while goofing off tomorrow. (Probably = definitely.)

(I have no idea who Colin is.)

I've seen very few actual pages, mostly just fanart and read the Wikipedia page.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I totally have no idea who Colin is. Apparently I am WAY behind on my pulls.

Related-ish-ly, Tim and I had a long conversation last night about what to name my new laptop. The current one is Titans Tower. The 2 peripherals are named after characters (external hard drive is Batman, iPod Touch is Blue Beetle). Following that logic, the laptop should be a place, not a character, so I'm thinking Batcave. Tim kept throwing out things like "Batmobile! Gotham! Asgard!" (I told him that I can't mix DC and Marvel, because I would be afraid of what happened if I connected a DC peripheral to a Marvel computer.)

Batcave for computer, and I'm thinking Red Robin for the enormous external hard drive I'm going to need to back it up.
