Didn’t see it pop up anywhere yet, and sadly pinterest doesn’t even SHOW animated GIFs…
Awesome submission from @th1rtyf0ur!
Oh.
My.
Cthulhu.
I can’t believe I didn’t see this during #WesleyEvolved day.
Isn’t that how you met your wife?

So, I work in a library. My technical title is “Library Service Specialist”, but what that means is “Without a library degree, you will not make even 30k a year at this.” But my main area of responsibility (because no one else wants to do it) is Young Adult. My domain is comic books, Hunger Games and… sigh… Twilight.
Which means I have the perfect excuse to...

holy shit i love this quote

I vote we stop using the term “pro-life” and change to “pro-birth”, and every time someone asks “What does that mean?”, you can explain this and the other racialized, classist, misogynist,...

And I notice six hours later that it has a typo… using not only the wrong word, but the wrong TENSE of the wrong word.

The Importance of Lois →
Tumblr does not let you reblog and respond to questions in a meaningful long form. This is annoying.
Since I’ve started overthinking comics, I’ve come to view Superman more and more as being akin to a deity… the idea of him as a messiah figure, a god come down to live as a man, has loomed larger in my estimation of him. He is, in many ways, almost impossibly moral; I think there...

Today is Jack Kirby’s birthday so let’s celebrate one of his greatest creations, Barda Free. How tough is Barda? Pretty tough.
Oh look someone shot Barda. Oh is that blood? Barda doesn’t give a shit. “What’s for lunch?” she asks.
Six villains in hot pursuit? Barda doesn’t care. Watch your…

Black Alice
So, I’ve been reading through Birds of Prey, and came across Black Alice again. Now, I was wondering if Alice “stole” powers, or just mimicked them… at first it wasn’t clear, but later issues showed she did, indeed, steal powers. She had them, you didn’t. She also steals clothes; not just emulates them, but Misfit busts in on her and Oracle meditating, Alice...
If you can tell which one's the author and which...

Client: There is way too much free space, don’t you think?
Me: I think you’re being skeptical of empty space. Sometimes a lot of breathing room works really well in a design.
Client: A man does not fear space, he conquers it. Mars, bitches.

I finished reading all of Secret Six last night.
And now I’m sad.
Because there’s not more Secret Six.
Also, I want Bane to be my dad.
No offense, Pop, but you didn’t even OFFER to snap the spine of those girls who were mean to me in jr. high.
Heh. Bane could be my dad, any day.
It’s interesting…people think all the wish fulfillment in superhero comics is in...
Mitt Romney’s `just trust me’ campaign, explained. →
wilwheaton:
This is now the third area in which Romney has refused to share specifics on the explicit grounds that so doing would be bad politically for him. Romney has repeatedly said he won’t release his tax returns because Democrats will find things in them to attack. And he has vowed to eliminate whole government agencies, but has confirmed that he won’t specify which ones precisely because...
The Crackpot Caucus →
We’re currently experiencing the worst drought in 60 years, a siege of wildfires, and the hottest temperatures since records were kept. But to Republicans in Congress, it’s all a big hoax. The chairman of a subcommittee that oversees issues related to climate change, Representative John Shimkus of Illinois is — you guessed it — a climate-change denier. At a 2009 hearing, Shimkus said not to...

Why Millennials aren’t buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy
HAHA NO MONAY!!!!!
Maybe our generation aren’t buying houses and cars because EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKED
You want us to actually talk to bank people and get home loans and auto loans? They are still fucking us! Any time I go into a bank, I feel disgusted. You want me to do MORE business...

If you stacked Romney’s lies on top of each other, they’d reach into interstellar space.
And you say Romney doesn’t have a space program! We expose your libtard lies for what they are! ;-)
DC Women Kicking Ass: The Book Gail Simone Pitched... →
dcwomenkickingass:
Very soon after the DC reboot revealed the benching of Stephanie Brown and Cass Cain, writer Gail Simone began tweeting and posting about a project she was pitching to “unbench” at least one of the characters.
The book was originally pitched at SDCC 2011 and went through some permutations….
I am actually more depressed knowing that this existed in concept, but was not...

Birds of Prey
It makes me very happy to see that, in a mid #60s Birds of Prey (I’m in the trades), Dinah spends a good chunk of time in a Superman t-shirt (technically, I think the colors make it a Superboy t-shirt). Nothing special. No sign it is a JLA or JSA issue special t-shirt. Just the kind of thing anyone can buy at the store.
Makes me wonder what Clark thinks of such things.

I’m sorry, guys. No strip today. Something rather serious has come up. I’ll hopefully get it online tomorrow.
Health and luck.

Sometimes, I am blind. Like a ninja.
Am I the LAST person to see the connections between Daredevil and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Matt Murdock’s origin includes him saving a blind man crossing the street. He’s hit in the eyes by some sort of mutagen, blinding him and giving him superpowers. He goes on to fight the Hand Ninjas. The turtles? When someone saving a blind man crossing the street is hit in the face by a...

It's Lois Lane's Birthday!
gailsimone:
I thought it’d be fun to ask people their favorite Lois moment.
Lois Lane was the ORIGINAL DC ass-kicker, always smarter and gutsier than the male reporters, including Clark Kent. She’s appeared in television, movies, animation, comic strips, and so much more, making her one of the most famous comics characters of all time. She’s been played by a myriad of fantastic actresses and...
