An exerpt from Marvel Comics: The Untold Story: [link]
I'm reading the book right now, and the whole thing is good, but this section, about Marvel in the 1970s, is the best part.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

And Cartoon Network pulled the DC Nation block from the schedule, at the last minute. Asshats.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh that;s what happened. What with the last week and my recordings being unexpectedly random, I thought my TiVo was fucking up. But I did grab a torrent of some sort--haven't looked at it yet, though.

I did manage to grab the Young Justice episode from iTunes. It's still up as I write this, though it will probably be pulled in a couple of hours. Cartoon Network’s own incompetence ensures that this episode is going to be pirated.
And this episode should be pirated, because it's awesome. It's pretty fucking amazing that in only 22 minutes, the creators can choreograph a set-piece with that many characters, and move the plot forward in a big way, AND also have time to throw in a couple of big character moments. And also: Stephanie Brown !!!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Scola, between the episode you sent me, and what you whitefonted above, I am currently downloading S2 from iTunes. Is "Before the Dawn" the one you're talking about?

Yes, episode 10. But don't get too excited, it's only a cameo for a moment with her as a civilian.

That's okay -- the episode in general sounds good from your description.
We're having freaky high winds and power blips, so I'm hoping I can get the whole rest of the season downloaded in case we lose power. Then I can just curl up with my laptop and get watching.
