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

Was that from the pages Steph linked to, Victor? Although I'm paranoid that the fact BB is all over the pages means he's going to buy it, I haven't seen it confirmed.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

ita, it seems likely, in the Jack-Drake-cannon-fodder way, but I haven't seen any preview pages that confirm or deny.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Actually, Giffen's dispute with DC seems to be overblown - here's a quote from him in an interview he did about his upcoming Defenders mini-series:

A lot of people seem to think that Giffen hates and resents DC Comics and "Identity Crisis" because of the death of Sue Dibny, who was a prominent character in his "Justice League" stories from the 1980s. This is also untrue. "There's a lot of people out there trying to make a case for me being pissed off at DC and hating 'Identity Crisis,' and being broken hearted about Sue Dibny," Giffen said. " Hey, reality check, Sue Dibny, she's not even real. No, I'm not angry over 'Identity Crisis' or anything that went on it. Do I have issues with DC? I have issues with everybody! No there are no hard feelings and as a matter of fact I read 'Identity Crisis.' It's a good read and I understand why they're doing it. I get it. I really get it."

He may just be covering his butt so he doesn't close out opportunities at one of the Big Two, but it seems that the "dispute" may be a tad overblown.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

What's that great comics torrent place? I know there's a z in the title, but google is giving me no love and I can't for the life of me recall.

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

I don't understand why Archie doesn't just go ahead and choose Betty. Why someone would want to pick Veronica over Betty is beyond me. I mean, c'mon, it's so obvious.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I totally agree. Veronica is a bitch.

I totally agree. Veronica is a bitch.

I did appreciate that Archie preferred the brunette over the blonde, but yeah.

Of course, though, it was an act, because he knew he could never get her, and could safely continue his clandestine relationship with Jughead.

Who is also a brunet.

I'm completely spoiled for Countdown to Infinite Crisis, but I'm picking it up, anyway. It's $1. How could I not?

Also:

Batgirl
Batman (just so I can find out who's under the hood)
Outsiders
Astounishing X-Men

Also, really good interview with Greg Rucka on the whole Infinite Crisis thing and the new minis that are coming. Not spoilery, but definitely gives an idea of where things are going.

I'm going to have to wait 'til tomorrow.
