Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

In the span of a few months, the number of woman-focused titles at DC and Marvel about doubled, including Gotham Academy, which is almost a clone of Lumberjanes. Marvel hired away Boom's top talent. DC did a 180°, abandoning their New 52, 1990s-style, grim-n-gritty house style in favor of lighter fare like Harley Quinn, a revamped Batgirl, Bat-Mite, etc.

OK, a web comics question - any other Penny & Aggie fans out there, because I have become unholy obsessed with this web comic. I mean I've re-read it a dozen times at this point and can't seem to stop just because I marvel at where it started to where it finished.
Just wondering.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The Smithsonian and Stan Lee are teaming up to offer a 5 week online class about superheroes and comic books starting this May. You can audit for free.
I kinda thought this might be of interest to some people.
