That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Was Deadshot #5 out this week? I don't really want to buy it, b/c I'd rather buy the whole shebang as a TPB, but I want to know what happens. I'm willing to go stand around the comic store at lunch and read it.

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

I'm pretty sure I saw it in the new section.

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

ita, re: Y, that's how I saw it.

"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

Kind of ironic though, given that 355 is better positioned to be a straight woman who gets the kind of sex she would prefer than anyone else on the planet .

I'd imagine she has some issues to do with Y and protecting him, and, really, shagging the last guy on the planet who's worked out where to put his weenie. And he's apparently in love with someone else.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Have we seen these before? 'Motivational' posters, with comics characters on them. I think I need the one with the Joker ...

Yes.

See, I knew I had seen it somewhere before. I should learn not to skim, and possibly to sleep more.

Here I am looking all over the internet for the answer to my questions, and I really just needed to come here!

Does anyone know if DC comics is still abiding by the Comics Code Authority?

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

According to this, yes they are.

In 2001, Marvel Comics withdrew from the CCA in favor of their own ratings system which was seen as yet another step in the organization's decline into irrelevance. As of 2004, the CCA's stamp-shaped insignia is rarely seen on covers and is barely visible on those which it does appear. DC Comics is the only major company with some titles still sporting the CCA insignia.

Given the content of DCs mainstream titles, I doubt very many issues are logoed these days.

They certainly don't abide by the spirit of the code these days, for better or worse.
