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

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

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.

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.

I was reading the Elfquest issues I linked to before, and boy, that really jumped the shark pretty quickly. Once you have the glam-rock elf orgy scene, where do you go from there?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I read the original Elfquest when it first came out, and when they rebooted it, I was mystified. I grow more mystified every time I see it. And my BFF LOVES Elfquest. I try to be supportive.
