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?
What the hell, DC.
I miss having New Comics Day to look forward to.
In good news: Ursula Vernon won the Hugo for Digger.
So, Elfquest is coming back. On Boing Boing.

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?
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.
I admit that I read only some of the early stuff, and when it all went online I tried to read some more, but I got really lost in the narrative.
