Well, based on how the Netflix series reference other characters in-universe, Jen would be "She-the-green-guy."

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

It does, though I'm not sure I have a good answer for you. These Fantagraphics reprint collections are my only non-Duck Tales experience with the Barksverse—I've been discovering it as I go through them. So I'm only familiar with some of the older stuff and none of the newer. (I don't think there's an on-going

Through months of intermittent reading, I finally finished the Don Rosa Son of the Sun collection of Uncle Scrooge & Donald Duck reprints. And that delay is entirely on me, not any fault of the stories themselves—Rosa is a true craftsman and a Carl Barks superfan, and the care and detail he puts into these stories is

Yeah, that's what I figured at the time of the soft reboot. But at least Steph has been back as Spoiler, and Rebirth is giving her a spot on whichever title is now the Team Batman book, so I can live with it.

Not remotely what I meant, but I can see how you misinterpreted—I wasn't clear. J.A. may have meant excising the story in its entirety; what I meant by removing TKJ from continuity was specifically limited to the element of sexual assault in the Joker's attack on Barbara. Injuring her to the point of paralysis,

It's not the years, it's the mileage.

True, though arguable—I've heard that Scott Snyder seeded intentionally ambiguous plot points into his run that could be read as leading into DKR, but that's entirely second-hand.

Given your previous comments about destroying books and, again, the false equivalency of comparing J.A.'s reaction to that of people who do literally set books on fire?

Rest assured, I regard the honestly held beliefs of those serious people who burn children's books about a teenage wizard so that their own serious children aren't intellectually contaminated by dark sorcery with precisely the solemnity those beliefs deserve.

Fair point—I'm willing to concede that Harry Potter is entertainment for all children, not just whimsical ones.

"The space food they serve in the mess hall is terrible!"
"Yeah, and in such small portions!"

Perhaps I didn't miss the point at all. Perhaps you didn't make the point as precisely as you thought you did.

And that's without even delving into the EU!

[…] J.A., to wish that any literature or work of art, such as The Killing Joke, should be buried or otherwise removed from history because it conflicts with your own views on sexual assault is poisonous and anti-educational.

It's possibly an apocryphal story, but I remember hearing that Sir Ben Kingsley did Bloodrayne entirely because he "wanted to wear a cape," and have since accepted it as gospel.

My only experience with FFX-2 was reading the walkthrough for a friend who wanted to get that 100% completion level for the "best ending." Perhaps reading a set of instructions aloud while someone else actually plays a video game is not the best way to engage with said video game, but I like to think the dramatic

I hope that, with typical German precision, they now have an at least seventeen letter word for "the Act of removing without permission any official Placards warning of the Dangers of vehicular Collisions with giant Elk."

On checking Wiki to look up Todd Dezago's name, I saw that it completed an "initial story arc" and then went into a series of one-shots, so I'm not sure yet how neatly things were tied up at the end.

Yes! I loved the "Vampire State" arc—along with everything else that came out of Captain Britain & MI13. Dracula invades England on a magical pirate ship after launching other vampires out of cannons from his castle on the Moon. What more could anyone ask for?
