So then, how does that affect (or, I should say, *does* it?) the whole issue of Kara and Power Girl being unmixy things?
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Too soon to tell, as Power Girl's origin is still in the shop.
Personally, I'm a bit peeved that she was apparently thought to be Superman's cousin for years, but now that this Brittneyfied version of Supergirl has popped up (with more than hints of being brainwashed by Darkseid, no less!) Superman is all overprotective "this is the only family I have" about someone whose highly questionable genetic relation to him was revealed like 20 minutes ago. I'd think that he of all people would put more weight on nurture over nature regarding the families we build around ourselves.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, I really dislike Greg Land's work, and this is one of the reasons why.
I think most of his stuff looks glassy eyed and immobile, and that was enough for me to base a dislike on. The raving I've read (I have no idea how widespread it is) about his work made it more annoying, and each example of cribbing (it's not reference, not when things line up *that* perfectly -- it's more like tracing) such obvious shots makes it worse.

I think it'd be different if he were actually working in some more obvious photo-manip medium rather than passing off the "drawings" as original work.

Serenity update
Can't tell you anything about the film, but at GenCon, the Serenity the RPG based on the movie is selling beaucoup numbers. They sold out yesterday and were going to airship more for today. Passed along to me from a colleague at the show.

That is all.
Updates as the situation warrants.

Also (I'm read-and-posting for TT #27, obviously) -- Father's Day ??? Just how fucked up IS the timeline?
And when the hell did Raven's hair get so long all of a sudden?

I just read Klaus Janson bitching about the lack of respect for inkers. I did agree with him at the time, but this month's TT is like an object lesson.
