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]

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

I saw a GIF of that! It was beautiful.

Vulture.com has an article up about potential fallout from the shooting, and some theatres are saying: no costumes that make patrons uncomfortable, no face-obscuring masks, no fake weapons.

And, of course, commenters. One said "it is nothing but a distraction." Honey, if you can't keep eyes forwards during the film, it's the film's fault or your own unless you've got someone cosplaying with a Madagascar wig sitting in front of you.

Okay, I'll give you the Tron guy, with the power on.

Hi. I come asking advice of a comic nature.

My BFF's 15 yo daughter Em (who is pretty mature in her reading matter, although not as mature as she thinks she is) wants to start reading comic books. BFF called me, because she doesn't read them. Em is not interested in superhero comics except for Ghost Rider and Elektra. I suspect this is based on having seen the movies. She wants to read the Constantine books, again based on having seen the movie. (I warned her and her mom that the books were darker than the movie. Em scoffed and said how much darker can it get? I made her mom promise to read them first, which she agreed to happily when I told her Constantine is actually British.) Overall we think limited run stories are best for now. I've suggest Sandman, Fray, Watchmen, and Kabuki. Any other ideas?

The Crow was originally a 4-issue run, wasn't it? That's also on the list. As is League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I think they're both gonna be surprised at the difference between comics and the moivies made from them.

Excellent choices! Also, I'm surprised anyone else has heard of Kabuki.

What kinds of stories does she like? I mean, I've got tons and tons of recommendations. My go-to recommendation is Y: The Last Man (it's actually Chew now, but that's still ongoing). But I'd also recommend miniseries like Daytripper and I Kill Giants for something different.

Digger! I don't read a lot of comics/graphic novels, but I loved Digger. Funny and moving and great art.
