I said last month thaat It used to be that when DC solicits came out, I checked immediately if Ex Machina was out that month. It never was.

Now the first thing that I do is check the Power Girl solicit, to see who is starring in her book.


You can imagine that each day of reboot announcements without Power Girl led me to be more and more nervous about the fate of the one DC book that I'm picking up and enjoying (Supergirl isn't that good, though I'm eternally optimistic about the next issue).

She's not got her own reboot title. Perhaps she'll part of the expanded JLA lineup, so I can enjoy her being part of the wallpaper like Ms. Marvel is in New Avengers.

I'm just grumping, which I'd rather not do. I'm disappointed.

Instead, I'll post some of the Gray/Palmiotti/Conner run of Power Girl aka Busty Airborne Lass






And the Adam Hughes variant cover for the first issue of her solo series featuring the costume that Jim Lee would not dare to redesign.

Kinda curious about the strong no towards the statement, though. It seemed like quite a bit softer version of what I think jlroberson was going for.


I also used it in part because that's how I lost mine. (If you replace gas station with woods behind gas station. Unpleasant still applies though. He had about a foot on me and no coordination.)

Look, a happy and colorful rainbow.

And that's why I rephrased it as a wonderful one. So everyone's happy!

Analogy no longer makes sense though. Bot okay!

"Making sweet love" reminds you of child abuse?

Those are issues I cannot resolve.

Also, I think I've DROPPED THE ISSUE which WASN'T IMPORTANT TO ME, so you know, beatin' it to death won't help.

That's a metaphor, by the way. If you or any member of your family was ever beaten to death, I do apologize for my tasteless reference.

Oh, you mean the remark I immediately deleted almost the moment I posted it? That one?

I mean, if I deleted it immediately, that would tend to imply I agree, right? So I'm not sure why you continue to flog it.

Again, no double entedre intended by that, so I apologize for any offense. I realize I am speaking to a person of delication.;)

Members absolutely have the right to react to comments you have made if they received them, whether you deleted them or not. The fact is that you made the comment. Stubbleupdate's responses are the consequences of that. Deal with them. By which I mean accept them.

I accept it. I deal with it. I am again sorry for the offense. But having already conceded all this, I would also like to be done with the subject, if that's okay. I'm not disagreeing with you, my sarcasm aside.

PS

And just to point out the absurdity of this, now the only reason that comment is aired is because YOU repeated it. I reiterate that I had deleted it before I could have seen any objection in the first place.

PS-Also, no metaphorical meanings specifically were meant regarding "beatin' it." In case there's any other ways to misunderstand that I haven't covered.

OR...

>>an analogy that's reminiscent of child abuse isn't much better.

Depends on how you define abuse. This is DC we're talking about. If kids still read their comics a case could be made.

Said analogy actually being "this EVENT is like some act ugly and perverse and violative that should not exist, as well as being a combination of two of the most misgbegotten events ever devised."

See, you had no idea what I meant. But that's okay, I could have been less clumsy too.

Be much more careful about that in future, please. You cannot expect people to not hear "forced sexual act" in the word rape.
