The Prince of Persia is right. Quality actress who also looks the part.

First base.

Frankly, if we're casting the Orb, I really think they should reach out to Sauron first. Great Oscar-winning pedigree.

This is going to blow Abed's mind.

I am concerned the great state of New Hampshire may mistake this for a real campaign site.

This has been a weirdly rational chain of posts with a healthy dose of perspective. Are you all ok? Do you need re-education?

"Was it everybody?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
"You can go."

Spencer works better with lighter, more wry fare, like Superior Foes, Ant-man, and his new Image book with Steve Lieber. I really think that's where his best work is. I think saying he's not a great writer is painting with way too broad a brush.

I mean… yes and no. Absolutely I wish Grayson had finished with the original creative team intact. Even if the fill-in guys valiantly worked from King's and Seeley's outlines for the story, it's not the same.

And they managed to ruin their own promising DCYou initiative by turning fans away with Convergence just beforehand. BRILLIANT!

That was a bummer too. Snart's great, all the way down to those ridiculous names, both "real" and "code."

I honestly ignored all of it except for the long-delayed Rucka Question wrap-up. Bringing in someone who hadn't written comics before at all to write their big continuity smashing event was maybe the dumbest decision in a long line of dumb decisions they made there.

Literally killing the New52 WAS a special Johns scene.

Convergence before DCYou was the worst one-two punch they could have possibly conceived. Convergence killed DCYou before it ever got off the ground, which is a shame.

Instocktrades for trades is the pit I throw my money into.

And if you don't like reading something, stop buying for a while! Check back in later! It's comics. Things change. Things stay the same. They're just stories.

It went… NUTS. And I don't think it went nuts in a good way. It didn't suck… but… it just… meh?

Man, it's almost like Marvel wanted people to talk about its comics this week too.

Aftertime Comics in downtown Alexandria, VA. Little hole in the wall with an old guy named Howard manning the desk. I mostly go here because it's the most convenient shop on my way home from work. And Howard's been good to me over the years, always up to chat and throws an added discount my way now and then.

Fair. And I think an inability to separate Alan Moore (who has his own whole bundle of ethical issues) from his work, and DC's capitalization on it, makes discomfort at this notion perfectly reasonable.
