Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

No, she’s just laying low, so that no one will know she’s not really dead. And I guess she’ll be going by the name Linda Park now.

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

Hmm. Okay.

I wonder what the google presence for Linda Park is....ha! That's the name of the actress that played Hoshi on Voyager, so lost in the Trek noise. I passed her in a mall once. It was really hard to work out where I recognised her from. She was pretty (eta: I mean, she was pretty when I walked past her. I don't mean to imply she has stopped being pretty or anything--just that I'm singling out that event).

Even though it doesn't come across in the character art particularly, I like the nod to her biracial heritage.

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.

Huh. I could have sworn Artemis got on board Aqualad's sub with the idea of her going undercover with him.

She did get on the sub with him, but I thought she was just going... away. I could be wrong, though.

Finally got a chance to watch the video. My phone didn't like it.

Nightwing says "They're in" once the sub submerges. That pretty strongly implies to me she's going undercover with him.

I agree with ita, I'm pretty sure that's Static in those scenes. Which would make sense, since we've already seen Icon and Rocket from the same universe.

Though do we know that's Ravager and not Deathstroke ? I mean, the pony tail is out of character, but I only see one eye.

I'm wondering if giant energy guy is Ty/Longshadow with his powers changed slightly.

And it's looking like the "Partner" is Black Beetle.

ETA: I wonder if that shot of Tula is meant to imply she's still alive as well or if we're just going to get a flashback story about it.

So there's a guy who goes to various conventions dressed as Deadpool and acts like a goofball. I have no idea why I find these videos so entertaining: [link]

Most of it is just him making people dance with him, but some the character-specific stuff he does is comedy gold.

You know, I really need to stop posting these Bleeding Cool links, because they’re mostly speculative, but Jill Thompson to draw Wonder Woman? That would be friggin’ awesome. [link]

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

Ha, I watched the Comic-Con one, and it was great! Really amusing, even just the dancing, especially because I got to see a lot of cool costumes I missed. And the "Galactus is nigh" sign was wonderful.

Yeah. That was great. I forget which Con it was for, but there's a great shot in another one of them where he's bending a poster and a guy dressed as Amon is pointing and shaking his head at him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have to say, watching cosplay just makes me happy. There's so much love in it.
