Yeah, ABC kinda slipped my mind, too. You see the shit that happens when you agree with Preston?

I never really looked at it like that. So he can't create an original character. His work still rules. (Even if he has batshit insane.)

Yeah, I don't think like HIlary and Condolezza Rice were approving comic books about themselves.

That is freaking great. Couple of questions though: - What's with Babs in full on Batgirl gear? She's probably been Oracle longer at this point. - Who is the girl sitting on Clayface's shoulder? - Why does Batwoman have black hair? - Are the proportions in Nguyen's work always so far off? (Bats having a huge upper body, Penguin being gigantic, Scarecrow being the tallest person in the DCU) Those are just minor irritations, though. I'd hang that on my wall it's so cool. (My wife probably wouldn't let me though) EDIT: The Batwoman in the panels on the linked page has red hair, so I guess it was just a goof.

Don't understand Huntress being there, but is that a dead Batman snowman?! SWEET.

I was kidding, man. Yanking Preston's chain.

Blackest Night IS awesome. Read BL #3

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll add Batgirl to the lineup, Preston.

Ok, generally I'm lenient with comic timelines and continuity. I understand that some characters need to be in two, sometimes three, books at once. But lately it seems that both companies are completely ignoring everything and just doing whatever the hell they want. And it's no longer just Marvel fucking with their big guns. It's both companies. Marvel is the biggest offender of course: - Wolverine is currently on three teams? More? X-Force, X-Men, New Avengers, then he's in his own book. Last month, that put him: in the future, in NYC, on an island in San Francisco Bay and in Russia. - BuckyCap is currently trying to save Steve Rogers and in NYC fighting Norman Osborn. He also recently traveled back in time to WWII with the other New Avengers while doing all this. - Spider-Man is a mess. He's currently living in an apartment with some chick I still haven't figured out - and is crashing with the rest of the New Avengers at BuckyCap's house. He is also battling Osborn on two different fronts, in his book and in New Avengers, and just became Mayor J. Jonah Jameson's official photographer. - Black Widow is ... and is also helping Maria Hill escape her captors to help Tony Stark ... and is helping BuckyCap bring back Steve Rogers. Formerly pretty solid DC is getting almost as bad: - Hal Jordan is fighting the Black Lanterns in space, is fighting the Black Lanterns on Earth with Barry Allen and is crusading in Cry For Justice. - Red Robin is and . - Wonder Woman is fighting supervillains side-by-side with Black Canary in her own book, helping the minor league JLA in that book and is in Secret Six. And, honestly, Dick and Superman are in too many books to count. And Ollie and Barry are nearly the same. Really, I'm just asking for advice here. How do you reconcile these things in your head while you read? Do you just not care? Is anything canon anymore? Or perhaps EVERYTHING is canon now, and time has no meaning.

I am not normally one to add to this thread, but I couldn't not share this.

He's right. It's definitely not a cannon.

Daken is being written as a sly, devious generally badass motherfucker in Dark Wolverine right now. Check it out and you won't be disappointed.

I can't be the only person who is tired - really tired - of the Marvel Zombies gimmick.

Is she wearing Shocker's old mattress pad costume on the sides?

WAIT... THEY'RE CANCELING AGENTS OF ATLAS?!!?!?!!

WOW.

At work. What was it?

Yeah, the white boxes are really starting to bug me. They haven't been explained at all and they don't add as much to the narrative as Way thinks. I like Deadpool BECAUSE he's nuts, so the white boxes just seem superfluous.

So I was scanning through the "Superman/Batman" wiki page - prepping for the "Public Enemies" DCAU film - and I get to the story synopses. As I read, my brain slowly turned to jello, then leaked out my nose and ears, whereupon they were lapped up by the dog. What in the holy blue fuck is going on in that book?!

"I can kill you six different ways with my pinkie, and you tell me college is stressing you out?!"

No shit.

Blackest Night: Batman #1 = HOLY FUCK This is honestly the most excited I've ever been about a crossover. I'm at the point right now where I'm going, "This is like apocalyptic bad, how the hell is this ever going to be resolved?"

That's honestly my favorite comic cover ever. If I had a band, I would totally name it "The Death House."

This is a seriously douchebag thing to do. I hate Liefield's "work." I thought this was funny at first, but upon thinking about it a bit, this guy is a pissant.
