Thank you, Mr Giffen, for bringing certain things as close to the mainstream as they're ever going to get. Always reassuring to discover you're not alone. SD motto.

LGBTQA Theme: Coagula
Joe: How did you go about creating Kate Godwin, a.k.a. Coagula?
Rachel: I was told that the current artist needed a break and I should do a one off story that could be done with a different artist. And I wasn’t pleased with the idea because I always tended to think in large story arcs. So I had to think of something and I came up with this ridiculous villain called Codpiece. And then somehow I just decided without even really thinking about it to introduce this transsexual lesbian superhero.
At the time I was involved in transgender activism and someone asked me if Kate Godwin was based on me and I said to answer the question, she’s based on a couple of friends of mine. But it wasn’t this big decision like I was trying to have this crusade. I just thought it was a cool thing to do.

"The idea is that this is the true, dark side of Superman [...] It’s a nightmare version of what Superman could be. Superman is both inspiring and frightening in his power. And the only reason that he’s not really frightening is because of who he is. But happens when you change that?" - Steve Orlando

Here's the series premise, from what my brain tells me. And frankly, I trust that thing as far as I can throw it. Which would be zero distance. Because I'd die. Also, why don't they put the creative teams' names in full, like this? Surname-only seems a disservice.
Plus, a spirit guide who's a half-naked vintage strongman. As you do. Check it!

Of all the absurdist foes the Doom Patrol faced during Grant Morrison's run, my favourite without question is the abstract champion of nonsense Mr. Nobody, not the least because his origin is among the strangest you'll find in a mainstream comic.

Day 20: Storyline/Book you could read over and over again? - Main Post
Slightly later posting due to it being the weekend and a LOT of soul searching going on for this one.
Again, this is a VERY tough one for me because I'm such an old fart and read quite so many comics during the process of becoming an old fart..
( and that is a LOT of comics... )

arbre_rieur2011-05-06 05:38 amDamn you, "Flashpoint"!
DOOM PATROL 22, the final issue of the series, came out this month. I'm sad to see it go.
Mister Somebody Enterprises has acquired Oolong Island by possessing its president, Veronica Cale. Not too happy about that, the Doom Patrol decide to invade the island...
( Four pages... )
arbre_rieur2010-12-02 11:15 pmSo the talent agent asks, "What do you call an act like that?"
Two issues ago, Veronica Cale nationalized the Doom Patrol, effectively turning them into the legal property of Oolong Island. So how that's working out for them?

Brave and the Bold, where even the background artists are comic book geeks
and God bless them for that! Another couple of episodes of this most magnificent of shows has aired and has a couple of comic-book geek moments making this worthy of a legality post (Anyone notice how most of my legality posts feature "Brave and the Bold", because I just did!)
First up, "Emperor Joker"
The pre-credit sequence has been long promised! A case from the files of the Bat-Computer
I won't spoil the explanation as to why he's wearing the costumes, but it's not the same as the one in the original comic (Which I don't think has been posted here, may have to do something about that)
( When Batman was more colourful than his sidekick )
( Emperor Joker! )
( And another episode - The Last Patrol )
