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

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

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 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.

If the Dark Phoenix arc includes the earlier Hellfire Club storyline and Kitty Pryde's introduction, I'd have to go with that. Though #108 may be my favorite single issue.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Did we know about these?
Ten comic book heroes will be saluted on the "DC Comics Super Heroes" stamps next summer. Half of the pane of 20 will be portraits of the characters; the other half will show individual comic book covers devoted to their exploits. The characters include Aquaman, Batman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Plastic Man, Supergirl, Superman and Wonder Woman.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Plastic Man's an interesting choice, given that he wasn't originally DC.
