Some Old-School Ventriloquist, for your reading and viewing pleasure...

Back in ye goode olde days, Gotham villains didn't need no stinkin' telekinetic powers or rotting corpses to do their bidding. No, they got by through bein' tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties, and makin' it square. Well, as square as drug-running, arms-smuggling, "protection"-selling, and cold-blooded murder can be, anyways. Of course, the sheer snazziness of their character designs didn't hurt, either.

Like most of you, I imagine, I can't muster up any enthusiasm for the new Ventriloquist running through the pages of Gail Simone's Batgirl. As dull as I'd found Peyton Riley's story, I'd happily take her (preferably written by Paul Dini) over this SAW-wannabe any day.

But, as with many things in life, none can compare with the original.

Sex, Violence, and Superheroes

'Aren’t most superhero comics basically pornography with fight scenes instead of sex scenes (with the knockout punch acting as the cum shot)? Aren’t superheroes usually depicted visually as naked human figures with lines drawn onto them and colored as costumes? I think I remember Frank Miller once saying that, in his first run on Daredevil, the scenes where Elektra and Daredevil would fight were basically the two of them consummating their relationship. That’s the way superheroes do it.'

People were unconvinced by Joe Casey, but I do think the premise makes sense. It's a shame that Sex is so didactic and asexual, but it got me thinking about why and how sex and violence are linked in superhero fights.

Note: there's nothing explicit in these scans, and I don't bring up outright sexual assault, but the confluence of sex and violence can get pretty uncomfortable and misogynistic at points, so fair warning.

Wonder Woman #07 rotting spoilers

I have to credit BleedingCool.com for this.

I've touched on the Batman spoilers today, but they start off with the revelations about Diana and her people. It's a new low for DCnU.
It's a doozy and may not sit well with most of you. Heck, the new S_D protocols may even be triggered.

Fair warning, SPOILERS AHOY.

Welcome to Science Hell

Here's four pages from the first issue of SPACEMAN, Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's newest collaboration.

The issue's part of DC's new initiative of making certain first issues $1, to persuade more folks to give new series a try. As others have pointed out online, you might want to consider at least giving this one issue a shot; even if it's not for you and you don't buy issue 2, the increased sales for issue 1 sends DC the message that the $1 initiative does increase the number of samplers, that it does do what it's meant to.
