Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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

I also just read that they revealed that Selina's reformation was mindwipe-related. While I understand the general urge to up the pain of major characters, does this undermine good stuff that's been done with the character to date? I'm assuming the retcon contradicts canon.

It feels like a sacrifice -- sure, collateral damage in service to IC to some, pissing on a favourite character to others.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Actually, I think at least some of those titles are only taking short hiatuses. I know that's the case with Justice League, Wonder Woman and I believe Nightwing. Batgirl is a new one on me, though -- not sure what they're plans are, if any.

"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

Isn't there some weird ownership thing with William Moulton Marston's estate that if DC Comics stops publishing Wonder Woman for any significant length of time all the rights revert to his family? I wonder if they're going to publish some kind of WW special or limited series to cover the gap ...

Does the WW movie count as "publishing"?

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Matt, as far I know, no. If there is a problem about that, that has to do with recent copyright changes rather than old agreements...

Matt, The ORIGINAL "Wonder Woman" contract stipulated that, if they didn't publish over so much time, the writes reverted to the creator or his estate. However, DC has since bought the rights from the estate outright, so she could theoretically not be published forever if they felt like it. Although that won't happen, ESPECIALLY with a Joss Whedon helmed movie coming out. HEY! LOOK! I'm ON TOPIC!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sweet! Just scored a Teen Titans Go! Raven action figure. Finally.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Right on!

This goes on the sugar-daddy list. I know where I can get it for $50 cheaper. I'm such a bargain.
