I know he's a huge name in comics, so bearing that in mind, are these standard prices for "real" originals?

Couple Buffistae collect original comic art (Glamcookie? Scola? Jon B.? Kat?). They'd know better.

I think those prices are higher than most but he's better regarded as a "fine artist" than a lot of comic artists.

Not the Kat I'm thinking about, right?

I mean, I was just wondering if it could ever be anything I did, but I chose a very dispiriting person to start looking at. There is a gorgeous Havok on his site, but I'm assuming it's the size of a postage stamp and done in pencil, because it's not a gazillion dollars. And I'm not sure why it's on his commissions page, because it's already drawn and priced.

It did start with a really broken Black Widow. Oy. Womenfolk.

I could just stick to fanartists...

I think so. I vaguely remember looking at that page with Pete a while ago, and Pete not batting an eye at the prices listed.

I guess I'll just keep hanging "photos by ita !" for a while longer. Very reasonably priced.

I still boggle when I think about how much Pete's originals for Magic: the Gathering sell for. He's not charging above market for them, but it still is kinda odd to me.

Finally saw this week's Young Justice last night. At first I thought the DVR screwed up and cut off the beginning of the episode, but it was just a short.

I personally think this was the weakest episode of the new season, which isn't to say it was bad so much as how great this season has been so far.

That said, there was still some good stuff, and wow is the scarab bloodthirsty. I also liked the Long Shadow callback to JLU. Same voice actor, too. I wouldn't be surprised if whatever the kids get used for results in Ty being able to become a giant. I also thought I recognized Chakotay's voice for Maurice and it was.

Alpha Squad's mission was okay, and I did enjoy seeing the female team members in action and the relationship between them. Plus, Batgirl flusterring Nightwing. And Cassie is definitely being shown as new to the hero gig.

I think you're quoting where you mean to spoilerfont.

I was. Was already fixing it when you posted. For some reason my brain transposed the formatting on me.

ETA: Apologies to anyone who read that that hasn't watched yet.

I've got a dumb question: Was the New 52 explained, or was it just a meta-event?

Someone's saying that ripping the fabric of reality shouldn't be enough to turn a character gay (Alan Scott will be gay when he's reintroduced), but given the major changes just about everyone went through...such a lame point.

Also, using evidence that the unrebooted character had kids, like a) they don't understand the meaning of the word "reboot" and b) don't get the birds and the bees or the principle of adoption, and has never met anyone who'd been in the closet for a significant portion of their lives.

If part of the point of the change is that the character's reboot age is significantly younger than when we last saw them in canon, the marriage and kids NEVER EVEN HAPPENED, and if they had, still doesn't mean homeslice is straight.

My god, people are just tossing around the p-word in that IO9 post...

Penis?
