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

It is in desperate need of a defender, and from the ranks of Batman Incorporated comes a soldier to carry on the legacy of The Dark Knight in the most tumultuous region on Earth. Meet Batwing, the Batman of Africa!

Who now? Is this a new thing? Given the reference to Batman Incorporated, I assume so.

Resurrection Man can’t stay dead for long, though – and with each rebirth comes new and unexpected powers. But his many returns have not gone unnoticed, and forces are gathering to learn what’s so special about him – and to see which of them will finally stop Resurrection Man dead.

I am guessing...none of them. Who the hell is this guy?? Heh.

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

Holy shit this is awesome: Knightfall summarized.

So, Buffy Season 8. I tried to keep up, but gave it up after the Fray stuff (about midway through), but decided to skim through some of the collections in the bookstsore.

Buffy and Angel zooming around earth naked having sex and causing the earth's temperature to rise? What the hell was that?!?!?! Ack!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I assume someone introduced Joss to high grade recreational drugs just before he began that arc.

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

IO9 on the relaunch.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Now I want to read Flaspoint, and I'm realizing that it's been so long since I've ahemed anything that I've totally forgotten how. I mean really. I didn't even know that the Azureus client became Vuze.

Big paycheck for Jill Thompson and Evan Dorkin.

I'm still not thrilled about the Babs-as-Batgirl reboot, but ye gods, I love me some Gail Simone: "How do you think the biases are working out for white straight guys in general so far?".
