I’ll start with Runaways.
Dream job?
I want her creating a female led team in the Marvel Universe. All new characters. All kickass.
Yes, exactly that. With the trans lead character she’s mentioned wanting to write.
by the amazing Amy Reeder— the unpublished cover for SUPERGIRL 62.
Would’ve been fun.
Actually, figure it’s way past time I told you what the plan was, right?
The idea for the story was pretty simple: Kara learns how to be a leader. She had, to that point, been almost exclusively used as either a solo character, or in a supporting role on a team. I felt like someone wearing that ‘S’ on their chest would find people looking to them for answers when things got bad.
The villain was intended to be the Luthor-Brainiac hybrid clone that Geoff Johns seeded in Adventure Comics. That scene in the one issue I did half of, with Lois running into the Planet offices, the original line was “Who here knew Lex Luthor had a son?”
The original hope had been to use Aqualad here, too.
The story beats that really stand out, to me:
I know I wanted to have a scene where the fight gets really hectic, and Impulse runs away, with Kara really calmly and sympathetically talking to her about it, just the two of them, in the aftermath. That was supposed to be the big moment that Kara comes into her own.
The entire team (except for Kara) were gonna get captured, and Kara would go to Superman, Batman, & Wonder Woman for advice— and from there, putting together ANOTHER team to rescue them (I forget who all was on that one- Black Alice, Klarion, Shining Knight, Arrowette, I think).
The whole thing would climax at the launch party for the Flyover app, and the last scene was Impulse pulling Damian onto the dancefloor.
My secret hope was that the whole thing could work as a back-door pilot of sorts for a new Young Justice series.
That obviously didn’t happen :)
This is the cutest thing I’ve seen this entire year, and I follow fat-birds, so that’s saying a lot.
I want a portal to this AU.
Chris Ware’s Superman and Jimmy Corrigan illustrated by Alex Ross
There is something really weird and unsettling about Chris Ware and Alex Ross existing in the same universe.
Reblog with your dream job for Gail Simone now that she’s no longer DC-Exclusive
ggggghhhhhod yes
my actual forever-comic full of big queerballs and nerds and beautiful ladies
holy dang, somebody’s shit is about to get broke open.
what fantastic details on the clothes!
dianoetic said: I was surprised they even let Kitty talk to Doug. I was like, YOU GUYS REMEMBERED THEY WERE BFFS THAT ONE TIME LIKE THEIR WHOLE TEENAGE YEARS??? Though I guess it was AU!Kitty, so fuck. :|
I know! it even sort of sounded like how they would interact, between that and the Sienkewicz-ey art it was very disorienting. Blast from the past. I had gotten used to just treating these people like completely new characters running out the clock.
I’m afraid no one is ever going to write these guys again.
just pick up the phone oh wait you’re a telepath
So this week in comics:
this character is dealing with dealing with maybe being a monstrous future dystopian overlord

What a strange thing to have in common. They should have a conversation or something.
Obligatory Saga panel of the month.
I have no defenses against this whatsoever. Every issue some panel just nails me broadside and I hear myself saying ‘AAUUUURRGH how is this??’ out loud.
If you haven’t heard yet, Saga is unspeakably awesome.
Urgh, I just got seriously clobbered in the roda. Opponent (GD, haha, the one person who can kick me in the head and I can’t really stay mad) wearing all black, on dark asphalt, after 8pm.
In the clarity afforded to the mildly stunned I found myself wondering, How does Batman see feet coming? At night??
Has anyone ever addressed this? Is he just that good?
