Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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 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.

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.

Him trying to show the littlest Spider-man how to "thwip" is awesome.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I hadn't heard of Dean Trippe before today, but he just made me tear up (tw: child abuse).

So The Scarlet Witch and Rogue get killed off in today's Uncanny Avengers #14.
