Wow, that page above with Batman talking about slipping a bug inside Diana's pocketbook, Ollie overreacting, a pink-dress wearing mouse pointing a gun at Di, and "Dazzleland" for chrissakes is just all sorts of amazing.

No, I completely agree with you here. I'm actually not sure why so many seem to dislike Gadot in that role. To me, she was by far the best thing about that movie and it got me incredibly excited for her solo film.

Yeah I just saw online that it's not out until the end of the year. Bleh. Maybe I'll just splurge on the digital issues at some point, not sure.

"You wanna get nuts?!" is such a great moment.

I'm waiting for trade on that one, which reminds me, is out yet?!?

It's like that line from Seinfeld about cinnamon babka: "Anytime anyone says, 'Oh This is so good. What's in it?' The answer invariably comes back, Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Again and again." Just change "what's in it?" to "who colored it?" and "cinnamon" to "Jordie Bellaire.

Between the Earth One OGN, the recent Sensation Comics, her new series from Rucka, her apperance in BvS, and my recent reading of Tim Hanley's Wonder Woman Unbound, I'm on a major Wondie kick lately. This article is a nice addition to all of that work. Great piece on a phenomenal character, one that I'm glad is having

Ain't that the truth.

I think you're right. You know, that reminds me, I think Byrne, Terry Austin, and Chris Claremont also appear in an issue of Iron Fist during their run on that book. I think they were being mugged and Iron Fist saved them? Maybe? My memory is fuzzy on that.

Heck yes, that Wolverine vs. Silver Samurai fight is all sorts of awesome. Looking back, did Smith just do one year on Uncanny? And Adams never did a sustained run, right? I really wish they'd each been able to do longer runs on those characters.

What I've come to believe is that we were raised having to hear about the Boomers and their myriad accomplishments, ad nauseam. Plus, Boomers were soooooo earnest to the point of being insufferable (I don't mean all of them, but we're speaking in generalities here ) about how they "changed the world" that I think our

You're so right. Smith was terrific but Adams was like a force of nature at that time.

Thanks for the offer but I suppose I have so much to read and my interest level in Longshot has diminished over the years. Plus it sounds highly skippable, ha!

I think they might even be the same person.

Hmmm I've been curious about Longshot for years. It didn't hit my radar as a kid and it doesn't seem easy to find now. I have a soft spot for Nocenti for her long run on Daredevil and even though I know she's a much reviled writer by a lot of comics readers, I like her from that run alone and her connection to

I said it because I am a bitter and cynical Gen Xer, so I hear ya.

"A bitter and cynical Generation X" - we mustn't forget cynical!

Well, not comics but related: Last Night A Superhero Saved My Life, an anthology of writers writing about comics that mean the world to them. I might review it so I'm trying to finish it this week. Some of the chapters are okay but the good ones are really good. The one from Jamie Ford about a teen romance of his that

Tough one to answer for me because I've loved a lot of comics during that time. My first instinct is to say Waid's Daredevil, so I'll go with that.

"Batman Reborn" is such a great arc!
