Wow! The first Eisner award.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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

I went in 1986 with Fantagraphics. Drove Steve Rude and Heidi McDonald back to L.A. after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
6 pages of JLA #1. They are not kidding about starting again.

And averaging 4 whole panels per page? Ha ha ha no.

Reading about the editorial plans for Superman handily banished any sadness I might have felt about missing out on the George Perez title.

Reboot non Lois/Clark. God, how unappealling.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I know I'm falling right into the Outraged Fanboygirl caetgory, but I don't care: DC has pretty much given me no incentive to keep reading after the reboot.
Except for Blue Beetle, DAMN THEM. And even then, it might suck heartily. I guess I should go look for the solicit.

I will be continuing with Bat titles probationarily. Or whatever the word would be if I could speak English proper.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wow. That was just... ew. So profoundly ew.
I didn't even think I was all that invested in these characters and their stories, but every fresh detail on every single reboot is making me realize how wrong I was--if I didn't actually care about them, this wouldn't be half so painful.

I'm willing to continue Batman and Red Robin, and I'm going to get Teen Titans #1 because I just have to know. And Blue Beetle. Oh, and I admit I'll get Batgirl #1 because I want to know what the deal is.
t edit Okay, yeah, that doesn't sound like "DC has given me no incentive." I admit it. I'm reboot-curious.
