I'm gonna get Justice League Action Comics Batgirl Animal Man Wonder Woman And thinking about Catwoman, Batman, Batwoman (since it looks stunn) and Supergirl.

Who hasn't seen Amelie?

You're so unnecessary sometimes.

Judging a book by its cover, but every cover I've seen of those comics just makes it look absolutely dreadful. The sort of stuff that gives comic readers a bad name. The absolute nadir.

What song(s) are you really into at the moment?!
Paj! replied to Aneres11's topic in General Chit Chat
Speak Now is one of my favourite albums of 2010. Bearing in mind that year also birthed Have One on Me by Joanna Newsom and I Speak Because I Can by Laura Marling, two of my favourite (and best) albums ever, probably. I heart Taylor Swift with a love that was once reserved only for Miley Cyrus' solo material (lel), but now goes beyond that, as she is actually a talented songwriter and I've always enjoyed country-pop-rock crossover shizz. The album before that has good singles, the rest is ok. Not bothered with her first one, I assume it's bad. -
Fuck you, tranny! / I have no idea. I was in the mood and Araki is an 'auteur' I've read about recently but never sampled. Plus it was bought for me, so it's win-win. Or maybe just win. A single win.

Animal Man by Grant Morrison. It's brilliant. Clean, concise superhero storytelling that (eventually) gives way to the Morrison-ness that of course lies within. But at a 'tolerable' level (this is no Final Crisis). READ IT NOW.

I liked the battle system of 35837465DaysNightKingdom Hearts but the ENDLESS SCENES OF THEM EATING ICE CREAM Oh JESUS

Considering I love him and going to see him talk in promotion of it, I haven't read it yet. I kinda already know what it's about having read/studied/based my life on his works.

The best damn thing.

I'd rather she just went all phoenix-y, and then mutants started to (re)gain their powers, or even...like...just that the 'x-gene' was reinstated, but the X-Men didn't have to deal with it until people's powers emerged. There's previous generations of New X-Men currently being ignored, there's no need to focus on yet another. New Mutants have their series which is a good thing (but I don't read it, but plan to I guess), but Gen X are nowhere - Jubilee is a vampire after years of obscurity, Chamber got his..chamber back in Age of X and Husk had one mission a few years ago in Carey's series (he's good about using unused characters). Think the rest are all dead. Then all the student X-Men, who of them all only Pixie is ever used properly. Just seems silly. Also the tendency to use the same cast in all the satellite books liek Astonishing and Adjectiveless. I'm not gonna read them anymore don't think. And what abotu Armour? Whedon built her up well and she was used decently by Ellis after him but everyone else seems to forget she exists. Pixie is the new Armour.

I haven't been reading Generation Hope at all, but the 5 lights feels like a bit of fizzled story, potential wise. And they just seem to be cluttering the X-Men universe in which established characters aren't getting enough page time as it is.

I love the rabbit in the final image of game 1.

Final issue of Batgirl, £2.05

It's hilarious. I love her singing voice in that bit. My sister and I sing it in her style to each other as a joke.

I had to sign an NDA the other day too. It was cool. I felt important. Gail Simone told me on twitter in a vague/obvious way that Steph would be involved in some way. I think we already knew about Batman Inc..? What part? The

She's my favourite. "And then it went to some...hymn." "And her clothes don't fit. I'm gonna need you to get some clothes that fit."

I assumed it was EEvil or Jimbob.

Never heard it before. *listens* It's alright. Very 00's cool and atonal. Nothing special, though. Sounds like they're messing about with sounds over the existing track. Radiohead covering Unravel is nice, actually. Heard Bon Iver cover Who Is It too recently, not in HQ though, so hard to judge.

X-Men is a huge moneymaker for Fox, they don't want anyone else getting any publicity/money/advertising from a property under their control if they don't have to. Same with Sony and Spider-Man.

Seems like Hope is the obvious on the top left, and that Shadowcat is emerging from the ground on the right. People are guessing Anole as the kind lumpy guy...but would he really be in the promo art for this team? I guess if turns out Danger is on Emma's team, anything is possible...

I like the fact they've actually managed to pull of Avengers (as a thing, might be a bad film). The individual films are entertaining, and not BAD, but yes, kinda "...". And I'm a comics fan. At least they're of a much higher standard than they were earlier in the decade, generally. Green Lantern was a bit crap but you deal. The Batman films are the only ones that feel like 'Films', not 'Superhero Film no.x'. X-Men as a series kinda comes after that, they try/ied to be more sophisticated I suppose.

I think it's an atrocity. None of the soul or life or...anything the original conveys, but it's also not a cover that takes a song in a different direction. Her vocal quirks/idiosyncrasies are out in force here, and really don't work with the song. I keep imagining a comedian making fun of someone her like her by singing in that voice. It makes me think she probably has good taste in music to choose to cover it, though. The original. Song of life. I don't remember hearing a particularly good Bjork cover, ever. Hunter by 30 Seconds to Mars is...ok...but does nothing with the song, and is way worse than the original.
