Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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

It's better than awful that they listened to feedback and took that shameless shill down. I mean, there's no question that they couldn't spit in their virtual writers room without hitting someone who would have a tearjerking Kubert story to tell.

I shudder to think that someone who knew him personally might have written or okayed that. It's awful, and it shouldn't take outraged fans to get them to realise it.

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.

Okay, this made me chuckle: [link]

I'm sorry, what was that Animal Man short in the middle of Young Justice?

Did Y The Last Man say that 355 was a Culper code?

Remember the Catwoman in 1930's Shanghai 30 second short from awhile back? Here's the whole 3 and a half minute thing: [link]

Just finished reading the last issue of Rasl. Not a very satisfying ending, especially considering how well Jeff Smith nailed the ending of Bone, which was a much more complicated story. Basically I ended up not understanding the motivations of any of the characters, especially the protagonist.

I'm reading that the new 52 is going to de-age Shiva to about Nightwing's age, which makes Cass less of an improbability an more of an impossibility. I am entirely not happy with this.

And iI hadn't realised what lengths they were going to in order to purge the world of the canker that is Steph Brown--recolouring a Smallville comic to make a character Babs instead of Steph? Is there some sort of peculiar mandate to limit the women under the Batwing just the one (walking) woman?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

What the hell, DC.

I miss having New Comics Day to look forward to.
