I have just discovered the new place I'm moving to in a week is like literally across the street from a comicbook store. RIP my :20bux:.

Also RIP my shelf space. I found the 52 omnibus for real cheap. I have no regrets but holy hell that this is huge.

I hadn't even noticed Squizzle's avatar ever changed. It's been the same for as long as I've been posting in BSS I think.

HOLY poo poo.

My fuckstick customers who named their child Lady Rainicorn had their kid taken by CPS. I would have killed to see the caseworker's face when told the name of that child.

That story had such a sad start but then ended so happy :unsmith:. I mean, getting taken by CPS doesn't guarantee the kid a good life but at least they might get renamed something that you can put on a job application.

You should read up on what happens to kids in the system before you make comments like this. It's extremely bad.

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I realized "stupid name" and "parents waste money on stupid poo poo" is actually totally fine compared to what could happen after getting picked up by CPS :smith:. Forget I said anything.

You're not allowed to name your kid anything too dumb here http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11388092

e: Scratch that. I just read that again and the objection is for titles and symbols. You can specifically be called "Cream Bun" but not Major or Prince.
Never mind.

Still, would have saved Lady Rainicorn since Lady iirc would count as a title. She would have been left with the perfectly respectable name, Rainicorn.

Unrelated: I'm moving this weekend and I suddenly envy all you "digital only" motherfuckers.

I've been reading BSS archives, and gosh golly did early BSS have some issues about Jade.

I know nothing about Jade other than that I said she was the best Green Lantern at some point and then learned I was technically wrong that she wasn't a Lantern. Is there something weird or bad about Jade or was past-BSS just being weird?

I wasn't originally a character during the silver age but writers will forget that and sometimes write lines for me that imply I was around during that time.


:stare: good lord, the way the thread flips from everyone havin a good time talking 'bout their favorite Green Lanterns to suddenly whoreswhoreswhores like they're loving Frank Miller gave me whiplash.

:colbert: I know Red Son ends up reactionary garbage but it is the closest thing I think we'll ever get to a big two communist hero (other than Colossus occasionally calling other X-Men 'Tovarisch').

When it comes to music appreciation, I wouldn't hold us Canadians in such high esteem.

We aren't worse at music, we just understand how to weaponize it better.

If we're talking "Things Goin' On" Skynyrd that's a fine opinion. Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird have been overplayed to hell and back.

I literally never noticed until this post that his name is "Fetty Wap" not "Fetty Wasp". I have no idea why I read it like that ever.

I can't even tell you how super shocked I am to see so many old white guy like musical opinions in a comic book forum. I never would have guessed that would be the demographic posting here!

:colbert: excuse me, I'm a 25 year old white guy thank you. I can't blame my musical tastes on my age.

I hope that guy gets fired. It's sad that people didn't report on this for years and left it an open secret.

Even if the rumor that Berganza has blackmail material on his superiors was false, I still don't really think there's any way for him to get fired for any of this. Like Lurdiak mentioned, comics are a very incestuous business and so if you're promoted high up, you're either friends with everyone even higher than you are, you have blackmail material, or you're some kind of creative god the company is terrified of losing to the competition. It would take some kind of giant DC boycott or mass quitting by top creators, and I don't see either happening.

It turns out the Joker's real name is "Bruce Wayne". The man we've known as Bruce Wayne aka Batman is actually a time displaced copy of Terry McGinnis, who had his memory wiped and the memories of Bruce Wayne inserted into him by let's go with Hugo Strange.

His name will be "Anthony Erikson".

" No... That's not possible. Joker can't possibly have a random normal guy name. He must have a name with great significance and his identity must be important to me in some way."

Alternate answer: John Diggle. Why did y'all assume Joker was white? :colbert:

I'm turning my spare bedroom into a comic and sports room. Would do you guys do to proudly display your comics in your places.

Edit: photos would be great to help me steal, I mean inspire me, with ideas.
