"veeled". I was just short of eight or nine years old and it was all I could come up with when asked what username I wanted when my Neopets account was being set up for me.

Somewhere in a parallel timeline, the John Stewart Green Lantern movie has been released and it is awesome.

...Was there Green Lantern stuff at last year's SDCC? I thought the movie moved like super-fast from the embryonic stage last summer to a feature film this summer without previewing much at SDCC. Guess my memory's faulty.

Well there certainly must be one, because as much as I might think sometimes that io9 is late reporting this or that, columns like this are crammed full of news I didn't know about, and that requires some handily fast trawling of the tips and other news sites.

I'm not really piqued about it, I'm just obsessive about small details like that sometimes.

If the news about Powers casting gets first mention in the headline, why is it at the bottom of the list?

My ideal publishing strategy for DC involves them collecting stuff like the Batman family titles into anthology formats, based on surveys to find out which titles are bought together the most often. The cost of these anthologies would be kept down by capitalizing on the increased space for advertising, and that would…

I think you might prefer independent-company superhero universes, like Invincible or Powers. Collections of ended series like Top Ten by Alan Moore are also good, and Elseworlds stories from DC such as New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke, Golden Age by James Robinson (which uses a lot of old DC WWII-era characters), or Superm…

As a strong fan of Groucho Marx, I approve of this post.

I kind of dig this; now if only there were an Art-Deco case for this, my [noun indicative of the aesthetics/technology of the era drawn upon for inspiration]-punk fetish could be awoken from the slumber it fell into after io9 posted one uninventive, barely novel _____-punk treatment of a mundane household object too…

Yyyyep.

See, my thoughts were really just gravitating towards, "Using just where they live to make this map is such a simple thing to do". I agree with another commenter's statement that overlays of things like drug use would probably help.

What if this map is affected by large numbers of AIDS patients living in certain areas because there's better care for their condition available in that region? A map of where they were originally given HIV might look a bit different.

Let me say firstly that I love this book. I remember reading it just over a year ago— the carnival that was in town when I read it was in town again just two weeks ago— and I could not put it down.

I really think, if they're not going to start restoring the old issue numbers after a year or so, that they should make an exception for Action Comics, which is so amazingly close to 1000 issues.

Yes, but the people put in charge of defining it would probably have the least amount of it.

I remember reading this in a TPB! Great story.
