You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Huh. Here's Willingham's own post in reponse at Fabletown.com. He's a prick.

This would be why I've avoided most of his work like the plague since Elementals. Bad writers can occasionally get better, but hateful writers with contempt for their readers and the work of the writers that preceded them never do.

They pay me in WOIMS

Wow.

And if even half of those Infinite Crisis spoilers in that LJ thread turn out to be true... I've never seen a company go to such great lengths to piss off their customers before.

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

Is it possible for them to put Batgirl in a little continuity bubble so I can keep reading? I like other DC titles, but that's the one I love.

And now I'm going to be looking angrily at my Fables.

I suppose I should abandon my practice of buying Days of Vengeance to point and laugh mockingly, as DC's impression is that I like it enough to keep buying.

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

This:

But I'm still from an early enough American generation to find men claiming to act like overly dramatic little girls just a little bit cringe-making.

Continues to chafe my snatch.

I'm trying to figure out the Ultimate Combo of Offense. Right now, I've got Willingham writing, Byrne drawing... who else do I need to add?

My ultimate combo of offense involves .. well, Liefeld getting paid to do anything other than bring (note I did not say make) coffee in the comic industry. All else pales.

Kevin Dooley editing so there are girlfriends-in-refrigerators aplenty?

Though the Crisis spoilers, if they turn out to be true, sound more interesting than offensive.

Also, Jason Todd, at last viewing: still more grey than evil. Sheesh.

I'm wondering if the camp of us that really enjoyed Under the Hood is just awfully quiet on account of fearing the reaction of the rest of the world, or if I'm a camp of one.

Woo! Cold girlfriend sandwiches for EVERYBODY!

Liefeld does the cover.

The plot is... hmm. It needs a plot. Girls gone wild, evil, and dead preferred.

I wouldn't call the spoilers offensive so much as pointlessly alienating.

I don't want any of them to happen unless they're reversible.

And I don't want them to be reversible, because then what's the point?
