I remember when someone posted a link to that Crisis spoof months back, I looked at it and imagined the editor yelling "It's not working! George is drawing new characters faster than the writer can kill them off!"
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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.
The DC Animated Universe is done for good.
I could have sworn I've read there's another season of JLU in the works, but it wasn't approved until after they finished up Season 4, so Epilogue was written as if it was going to be the last DCAU episode ever.

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

I went looking and found a mention of another season on AICN. Not exactly the most reliable of sources.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I had read that there's going to be another season of JLU also, Kalshane. Don't remember where I read it, though.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
People who went to the JLU panel at San Diego saw the first five or ten minutes of the new season opener.....
At least, that is what I was told by someone who attended.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
From Brian K Vaughn's site:
In other star-effing news, I had lunch with Pulitzer Prize winner (and inspiration for my upcoming run on Dark Horse's THE ESCAPIST) Michael Chabon, and dinner with BUFFY creator Joss Whedon, who was nice enough to invite Ruth and me to the world premiere of the final cut of SERENITY, which is as perfect a movie as any of us will see this year.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Man, I'm going to be so disappointed. Everyone who's seen it is raving way too much.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
P-C, I'll just say this: I'm really not a huge fan of the series, but the movie was really powerful. I wouldn't call it perfect by any means, but I did like it. I figure if *I* did, then you will, too.

To put it in perspective, I don't think it's quite as good as an equal length of the best episodes ("Serenity" or "Ariel" plus "Objects in Space" for example), but it's the best movie I've seen this year, including the Bale Batman.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
So, no comments about Omac #4? Or about Wonder Woman #219? (I am glad that they were able to get WW out this week, as it looked like it was going to get set back to next week. The art did suffer a bit, because of all the different hands needed to get it done on time.)
If fact, I am a bit worried about DC being able to keep its schedule - this is the second month in a row that OMAC required more than one set of artists.
Batman: Dark Detective was a huge waste of time. The art wasn't bad, though (I liked the retro feel). Some things should be left in the past, though (thought balloons?).
Astro City: The Dark Age is just hitting on all cylinders. I think this is the best superhero comic written today.
The DC continuity may be tightening up, but there are still some huge problems - for instance, how do the "Crisis Countdown" miniseries relate to each other and the main titles? At the moment, I can find Hawkman in four separate places at once returning from "death" in his own title, fighting the Secret Society of Supervillains in JLA, fighting in the Rann/Thanagar war, and off-screen in OMAC).
