the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

MM, (not white-fonted b/c it's been a month or so), Green Arrow is now MAYOR of Star City. No, really. Fuck-the-establishment Ollie Queen is MAYOR of his town.

Earth-2 Supes, as far as we can tell, actually died at the end of Infinite Crisis (as did E-2 Lois).

Superboy Prime is in some sort of Kryptonite prison being guarded by the Lantern Corps. I think.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Oh, now it all makes sense.

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

NY Times talks about diversity in comics. They have a reference to 52 #3, but nothing else looks that recent.

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.

"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

I agree with you completely about Logan. Do you write a great emotional speech for Clint Eastwood? Not so much. Plus, he’s in EVERY BOOK – I think he just joined the JLA, and for some reason he appears in the revised Penguin edition of “Little Dorrit” – and every great writer has had a crack at him.

Bwah! Next up for Wolverine: Riverdale!

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

JOSS: Racial tension and homophobia have been eradicated in our country – that’s why Crash and Brokeback Mountain are both up for Saturns.

This was my Bwah! moment.

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

I love Joss. Like, I'm sure his self-aware wackiness grates on some people, but I love it.

Claremont and Byrne’s ‘Days of Future Past’ is generally regarded as the greatest X-Men story ever told.

I thought that was the Dark Phoenix Saga.

There is, shock of shocks, contention on that point. I like Days of Future Past better, because dystopia works better for me.
