Oh, and I want a Proto action figure, stat!
The latest issue of Jonah Hex, #61, features a character we haven't seen in many a moon: Hex's first wife, Mei Ling!
I don’t have the energy to follow all the Bat-titles anymore, but I do like to read a Batman story from time-to-time, and Howard Chaykin’s “Follow the Money” one-shot fills the bill of what I am looking for in a Batman story quite nicely: done-in-one
Read more…They ruin the end of Morrison's Batman and Robin run and kinda ruin the beginning of Batman, Inc.
You've been warned.

Page 3, panel 1: That's Supergirl again. As I feared, they did not explain her prescence, now they do not explain her absence. Her sacrifice is not mentioned, the most public of Crisis' heroic deaths. Was she drawn in as a homage to her original sign
Read more…Because seriously, it could happen.
I've been hearing really good things about Paul Cornell's Luthor stories, but I've been resisting it so far, because Luthor doesn't really interest me (his evil peaked in that diner years ago). But now there's gonna
*I think that Michael Cera is this generation's John Cusack.
*Sex Bob-Omb is now my favorite fictional band.
*I still think they did a perfect job with casting.

OK, we know the title...we know it's coming summer 2012...it'll be in IMAX but NOT 3D (yay!)...Nolan has stated "no Riddler" and previously has said that the Joker ain't coming back.
So, who do you think would be nice additions to the cast? On my
