"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I misread "Me" as "M" meaning Matilda at first. It was a lot funnier on the misread.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I misread "Me" as "M" meaning Matilda at first. It was a lot funnier on the misread.

I'm pretty sure that will be her line by the time she's ten.

"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

Today's Wonderella really cracked me up.

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

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

Batgirl's new background. Hmmph. No Oracle at all.

Man, I just stirred up a minor shitstorm asking about the reboot on IO9. But at least I have found some people who don't hate the idea. It's seriously the first time.

The alternative section at Golden Apple has atrophied since the last time I was here. Very sad.

So I bought JL #1, because I'm stalking Batfamily appearances in the 52, and it was a whole lot of nothing. NOTHING HAPPENED. Batman escapes the cops, meets GL. Or vice versa. Vic Stone is not a cyborg, has daddy issues. Superman hits GL, threatens Batman.

And we're done.

That's not a story. That's not even the set up of a story.

Not even slightly. It's like they took a coffee break 1/3 of the way through writing and arting.
