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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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!

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

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?

I love how, in the sexploitation comic art discussion, there's an "well, and Nightwing" clause, because if he had tits, they'd be up in our faces all the time, and he's just spreading it for all the viewers.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And that's why I love Nightwing.

Young Justice:

So the young girl at the beginning of the episode whose father Green Arrow and Artemis saved was supposed to be Cissie King-Jones which explains why she's not on the team in this universe. Though the exploits seemed like they inspired her.

Hey, Tardis.

Apparently some folks were surprised by the "big reveal" of Artemis' parentage though I thought they'd made it pretty obvious, previously. Well, we hadn't known why her mother went to jail before.

I was kind of surprised, but I haven't been paying strict attention. Were we supposed to have already known who her father was? Were there hints about that? For some reason her mother didn't seem to be so surprising.

And, wow, the chicks on this show seem to be willing to go to lengths. Teenaged girls ain't no joke.

I still wonder why they went with the roster they went with. I'm still not over Dick being on the team. It's just...not right. Young Justice != Teen Titans. Red Arrow should not be so much bigger than he is.
