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

That makes it all kind of weird, but I couldn't think of any other reason for his name.

I recorded Green Lantern so I could see more of Super Best Friends, and I can't watch it! Everything's so fuzzy, it does bad things to my headache.

Anyone else have that problem with the animation?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ugh, I just read Ghost World, and it made me almost physically ill. Enid and Becky are so fucking awful for no good reason at all, and I didn't see any point to any of it. The last two chapters could have saved the book, but I'd had it long before that point.

Aw, man, and here I am unable to re-read Ghost World after the first go-through because it was just so utterly haunting that it left me swamped by incontinent nostalgia for weeks afterward -- not the actual events, but Enid and Becky's relationship, their conversations, the way they saw themselves and their peers and the grown-ups around them and tried or failed to navigate all the gaps in their world, their lives, their futures? Reading it, I felt like Clowes must have been in the booth behind us at the Copper Penny at Geary & Masonic, secretly taping everything.

God knows there was a lot of weird fucked up not-as-all-knowing-as-we-thought-we-were,-not-by-half stuff going on, but we weren't fucking awful. We were just... I don't know. But, seriously, I haven't cracked that book in almost 20 years and just looking at the cover can still give me regretful, sorrowful, yearning shivers for I can't even articulate what.

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:

I agree with your white font, ita.

Wow, White Martians are freaky looking. (Never read a comic that featured them.)

I'm glad it turns out Megan's cheesy TV catch phrase is actually a cheesy TV catch phrase. It's always kind of bugged me and felt out of place.

Also, nice to have it confirmed Kid Flash knows Robin (and Batman's) identities even if no one else on the team does.

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

Have people read I Kill Giants ? Because they should.

Barbara Thorson could be a Buffista sprog. She even runs her own D&D games! Also, she kills giants.

Has anyone read The Promise? It's the graphic novel set after ATLA and before Korra, and apparently starts right after the end of the series.

Yep. It's pretty good, though extremely short (Part 1 of 3). Gene Yang captures the voices really well (although Aang and Katara are annoyingly cutesy and call each other "sweetie" and shit), and he sets up some nice political conflicts. Plus, more Ozai fucking with Zuko!

Community meets The Avengers. Possibly avoiding every matchup I'd have made...but cool.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

In the course of image-googling "Disco Nightwing" to show Tim the awesomeness of the Disco Nightwing costume, this image (Nightwing, but NOT Disco Nightwing) came up: [link]

Tim was silent for a moment, and then said "That is an incredibly well-developed ass on that man."

Me: "Mancrush?"

Him: "...I think so."

Oh, Nightwing. Is there nothing you can't do?
