Art Crawl!!!

So what you're saying is that unless this guy that Huntress is going out on a date with has secret super powers -- there is no future? (I've only read the little synopsis on the DC website. I don't really know what's going on there.)

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.

Don't worry, Mr. Broom, the classic X-Men stuff still crops up from time to time, mostly because I'm reading through it for the first time and feel inclined to blather on about stuff everyone else read decades ago.

Speaking of which, I'm up to '88. Storm just got her powers back. Colossus and Kitty are back to normal (well, relatively normal in the case of Colossus as his armor form is now his default state) but they never covered how they recovered in the comic. Is there some side-issue or issue from a different series I missed? Because one issue they're still messed up and in the next, they're fine (more or less.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

But if guys don't like (stereotype alert) chicks who make more than they do, just imagine.

I just keep flashing to that episode of the Tick where Janet meets the guy when her costume's at the cleaners.

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

I don't remember Colossus off the top of my head, but Kitty was cured by Dr. Doom and Reed Richards working in a somewhat antagonistic tandem. There was a FF/X miniseries, with lots of Franklin Richards goodness.

Hee.

Sumi: Huntress + Parking Guy 4 EVAH!!!1!

It could work! It could be groundbreaking!

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Plei, WW's (few) dates have been normal, with the sole exception of early in the Perez reboot in the late 80s Hermes was following her around with a lovesick expression...

I'm thinking less dates, more long-term relationships, and if there was any male version of Sue, even a pale version. Then I realized that in almost all the post-Crisis stuff I've read, Troia's the only one who almost managed it (I can't believe I spaced on her, but you know, in my head, she was in the refrigerator with the rest of the dead chicks). Whereas, with the boys, I can think of plenty of civilian mates.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Obviously they just need to put Amy Rorbach in a costume. It'd give the 'haven another hero without pesky Tarantula issues, and her marriage gives me a Wash'n'Zoe-level happy.

Aww, but I love her so much as a cop! She's second only to Renee in my affection. Hmm. More and more, I'm thinking that Huntress and Parking Boy need to pair up. And I'm giggling like a loon at the thought.

Love love love Renee. As for Huntress and Parking-Lot Boy, maybe those crazy kids will surprise us and make it work! If only because then Dick and Roy could both be jealous. And console each other.
