I've started reading comic books again and I haven't really read anything since December, but I got caught up on some storylines, I picked up the latest Outsiders and I have 1 questions... Mallah and The Brain -- are they a couple? I found the answer. I was thinking Mallah was Grodd (both being gorillas), Mallah/Brain is kinda sweet in a twisted way. Why does the world think that the Outsiders are dead?

Interesting article on DC vs. Marvel.

Fan of the "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" video?

There is now a sequel, in two parts, based on the "Juggernaut Returns" episode. It is called J2: Juggment Day. It's not as hilarious as the original, but there's an awesome Deep Blue Sea joke in the first five minutes.

The guy also seems to have done a similar dub for a Spider-Man episode.

For DCAU fans, it looks like Amazon is doing a sale on a bunch of different DVDs. They've got Mask of the Phantasm, Batman/Superman, Return of the Joker and Sub-Zero for $6.99 each and the first 2 seasons of Superman: TAS for $14.99 each (they're still charging $35 each for the Batman:TAS DVDs, though, much to my disappointment.)

At least here in NY, there's a biography of Hergé tonight on PBS, as part of the "P.O.V." series.

Bwah! If the Power Girl one turned out to be true, thousands of fanboys would be traumatized forever.

A couple of comics thoughts:

About Civil War, I just want to reiterate that if one has a big sweeping plan that will affect almost everybody one cares about and Captain America, T'Challa, Stephen Strange, and Charles Xavier all refuse to have anything to do with it because they feel it's unwise or morally wrong, some second thoughts are in order. Also, sending armed military units after someone for not supporting a law before it's even been passed should be pinging a lot more people's fascism alerts than it is.

About She-Hulk I just loved that half the Marvel universe reacted to the news of her wedding in a manner recalling "And the winner is... Marisa Tomei for My Cousin Vinny."

Here's a report on the 52 panel from San Diego Comic Con.

Easily my favorite snippet -

New heroes from Japan will soon appear in the pages of 52, where, Morrison said, there is a subculture of kids who want to be superheroes. One of the heroes named? Most Excellent Super Bat. "It's super heroes as fashion," Morrison said.

Panels with Grant Morrison are always fun. Some 15 years ago at a UK Con there was a Grant Morrison 'hangout' panel for ages 18+ in which he started by giving someone £100 to go get champagne for the audience. They sent them out for seconds too.

Oni Press is going to do a Tek Jansen comic.
