        Not sure how you missed it on ST. -- nm - Michael Aug 23, 21:40
        
        It's one of the few fantastic things they've done this decade. Another one also involved Parnell - "Don't buy things you cannot afford" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 21:36 11
        
        Sure, sure. That's what all fans of SNL say. "No, this one is really actually pretty good!" I'm on to you protectors of sub-par late night comedy! -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 21:40 6
        
        Hey Bery, I found one of your bugs. If you click on my post decrying you there, you'll see your post has ampersands and the word quote. -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 21:46 1

Question: Here's Ahmahdinnerjacket posing with a new missile Iran has developed. That's a visual pretty common with dictators trying to prove - TWuG Aug 23, 20:55 3

DC motherfuckers! No JSA? No "Golden Age"? No Alan Scott? No Jay Garrick? No Starman? No legacy?? - Mop Aug 23, 20:29 20
- wrong. JSA will return with a new series by James Robinson and artist Nicola Scott later on. -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 20:37 14
  - Not what Newsarama says. They say Superman is the first cape. None before. -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 21:03 8
    - Are they turning the entire DCU into Smallville? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 23, 21:20
    - That doesn't mean there won't be a JSA. Nothing about the JSA requires it to occur before Supes shows up. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 21:16 6
      - My point is that there will be no "Golden Age" JSA. That's what I posted. Remlik can say that there's a Legion of Superheroes. - Mop Aug 23, 21:20
      - But see, losing the historical element basically neuters it's worth. -- nm - Michael Aug 23, 21:19 4
        
        I couldn't possibly care less about what happened last year, let alone 40 years ago. If they tell a good story, I'm in. If they tell a bad story, I'm - TWuG Aug 23, 21:26
        
        Ah. Someone who gets it. Erasing James Robinson's Starman run from continuity is criminal. - Mop Aug 23, 21:21 2
        
        Hmm. I better check my short boxes and make sure all those issues I had of Robinson's Starman haven't up and disappeared on me. The hardcovers are - TWuG Aug 23, 21:29
        
        Yeah, I have decided. Cancelling all DC except for Bats. -- nm - Michael Aug 23, 21:25
  - Good to hear. I like Robinson's work. I'm also pleased that DC is jettisoning so much of the crap - TWuG Aug 23, 20:45 4
    - Let me know when you get the crib notes on what they jettison and what they keep. -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 21:03 1
      - You make it sound like the new stories will be incomprehensible. If something that happened pre-Sept 2011 is relevant I'd expect it'll be touched on. - TWuG Aug 23, 21:10
    - some of the new stuff will be good and some will stink. Just like in 86 -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 20:55 1
      - Absolutely. Some of it looks awful. But I have high hopes for a few things. - TWuG Aug 23, 20:57
- don't even talk to me about what they are doing to the New Gods and Darkseid universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - the ghost of Jack Kirby Aug 23, 20:30 3
  - Actually, I have no idea what they're doing with the New Gods in the reboot, but I bet it sucks. -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 20:33 2
    - ignored & forgotten -- nm - peglegpete Aug 23, 20:45
    - The New Gods suck, so that's a given. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 20:44
- I don't see how attacking the National Capital Region will solve anything. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 20:30

  - I want "best chance for me to eat waffles in seattle." so like, "easiest"? (also, do pineapple waffles exist? because man, I want *that*.) -- nm - amanda claire jones Aug 23, 20:26 1
