"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

No plans for Cassandra so far, from what I heard, which is very annoying.

HOWEVER.

They have apparently FINALLY gotten the rights issues straightened out and MARVEL, of all companies, is going to be reprinting Miracleman.

Apparently they're planning on releasing individual issues instead of going straight to trade. I'm wondering how that will play, since a) The first several issues were reprints of shorter sections from Warrior UK magazine to begin with and b) Comic storytelling has evolved since they originally came out.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, one of the therapists at work and I did the " geek ?" " geek. Geek ?" "Geek. Geek!" "Geek!" dance, and he brought in comics for me to read. I have just started on Saga, but I read the first 3 trades of Locke and Key and am finding it fantastic.

Beware the Batman has been pulled from Cartoon Network's schedule, just like it pulled Young Justice about the same time last year.

Presumably, it's because it doesn't have the ratings/demographics for advertisers who make big buys around Christmas time.

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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Looks to be a perfect pairing of writing and art.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Yeah, it's gorgeous.

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

For non-sequitor reasons I just re-read this IO9 "natter" post about women and comics: [link] and then got lost in some of the comment threads discussing the depiction of women in comics, including rape culture and fridging. Unlike most posts on things that are sensitive, by and large the comments are well thought out and informative.

So I figured I'd drop it here if anyone is interested in rekindling ire against Millar, et al.

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.
