GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Young Justice:

Got a good chuckle out of the 90's Superboy costume as well as Demonic Marvin the Martian. I'm also digging the teenage Zatanna.

While it was cool to see Secret and Harm the A-plot didn't work so well for me just because I knew what was up from the comics, so there was no mystery there. Plus, 20 minutes just isn't going to live up to a storyline that was played out of over years in the comics. My girlfriend enjoyed it, though.

The Sword of Beowulf with Grendel's arm as scabbard was kind of nifty.

Was semi disappointed we didn't see a Fite 'n Madd cameo.

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

Really, Sy Fy?

Okay, I'd check it out.

That's kind of random, but could be fun if it's done right.

It depends almost entirely on who they cast and how they write for Skeets. If Skeets is annoying, then how good or bad the rest of the show is won't matter.

IO9 goes into the history of Ms Marvel. Which made me realise I only know about her starting from when she showed up in Westchester calling out Rogue for draining her powers. I had no idea about the other shit.

Who would you list as the most influential Batman artists?

I think it's interesting that Ross isn't on there.

That's a pretty good list. Has Ross done much work on Batman titles?

Not that I can remember. Also, IMO, Ross hasn't affected how other people draw Batman. He just does his own (excellent) thing, but it's not part of ongoing visual continuity.

"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

That's probably true of the characters whom his versions of are more iconic (like Superman and Captain Marvel) too. His painted style is so different from most comic artists that there isn't a lot of emulation going on, so far as I'm aware.
