Oh Hal.

Hal's Package

You should have traveled Fedex. They wouldn’t have lost your package.

 

Oh Google. You do bring me the fun searches

Google Groups results for how do I get my girlfriend into comics
How to Get Your Girlfriend Into Comics - it.fan.tv.buffy - 30/07/2004
Girl friendly comics - rec.arts.comics.marvel.xbooks - 06/07/2001
How did Batman get back into the JLA? - rec.arts.comics.dc.universe - 01/05/2005

It’s the last one that gets me.  Batman is the JLA’s girlfriend?  (and before you ask why I was googling that phrase, I have a perfectly illegitimate excuse)
Speaking of the Bat, All Star Batman and Robin The Delayed Wonder apparently is alleged to be rumour to be coming out in May 2007. World’s finest annual monthly comic anyone?

Does anyone have a link or reference for sales figures for the second third or fourth ASB? I can only ever seem to find reference to sales for the first issue, and nothing on later events.

 

(Technically not the) 100th Post

Since I lost the first couple of posts during the shift to the new blog interface, this is Post 100 on the new platform scoring system. I’ve been delaying it and delaying it, looking to what I could write to make it one of those OMG! posts. (that, and the whole moving house thing sucked the will to kill out of me)

But! This fine day, I have an operational BatCave, the lair is functional and I have my computers with Photoshop back under my command. It’s post 100. I should celebrate this day, these things, this triumph of a small force against a bigger adversa….hey! I know! I’ll post something to annoy Frank Miller!

So I present two pages from the hitherto unknown “Frank Miller Presents… 300 All Star Spartans!”

The Vicky Vale 300
Accept it Frank. I’m the kind of trouble you want.

I've got a date with a handsome warrior

Hearts joined in silent song. It’s manly man love night tonight!

Speaking of manly men doing manly things in manly menly manly ways - I’ve seen a lot of talk about 300 becoming a cult classic. Kind of like the new Star Wars. Which let me to think if this is true, and this comes to pass… a lot of buff young heterosexual men are going to run around dressed in nothing more than cloaks, shields and jockstraps. Manly manly men doing manly manly costumed cult film screenings in just little more than manly manly g-strings.

In my manly manly completely heterosexual way, I can’t but help feel that this would be a manly manly legacy for those manly manly boy loving Spartans.

May contain spoilers. Certainly contains theory.

For it to end like this: Death by Didio

Well, I guess I never really could be the designated sidekick. You see, I became the designated sidekick out of my own resort. I approached Girl-Wonder.org, and it was this very action that totally invalidates my role in the Girl-Wonder continuity.

If Only I’d Become [strike]Robin[/strike] the Designated Sidekick because some burly man in a rubber suit drafted me into a war on misogyny in comics.

Alas, it was not, and never to be.
