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

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

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.

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

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.

So apparently Dark Horse will be issuing a comic that covers some of the territory between the end of Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Starts coming out in January.

WHAT

Breaking up Barry and Iris makes even less sense that breaking up Lois and Clark.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, yeah. I need to get to my comic store and re-vamp my pulls down to only Blue Beetle. And maybe Teen Titans.

And I don't have much faith that Blue Beetle won't suck, either.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I am reasonably flexible. You know what's really uncomfortable about that position? The way her foot is turned.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ahahah, those pics are hilarious! I bet I could work it out if I tried hard enough. But I still wouldn't look like that! That is not Mary Jane!
