Swamp Thing: The End

"The trouble with America is it has a very Manichean attitude [...] and I suppose that's what I want to address at the end of 'American Gothic.' It's this attitude that there's good and evil, black and white. And there isn't. That's what 'American Gothic' is about."
-- Alan Moore, in conversation with Neil Gaiman, c. 1985

Here's a question I get asked a lot on my Tumblr, and that is 'if you could put together your own superhero team using any characters you want, who would you pick and why?'
In my perfect Earth-2 Universe, my current Justice Society would be fronted by these awesome characters:
( I'm pretty sure this story was told six years ago by a once good writer )

DC's Plans for 2012

Greetings ladies and gents! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend with your friends and families. I certainly did!
But now, more info on DC's plans for their relaunch in 2012. From what I read on their blog, it looks like we can look forward to more changes as their newer universe starts to evolve. And of course, I'm sure you're all well aware of which one *I'm* especially looking forward to. ^_^
( Heh, so much for a 'soft reboot,' but still excited nonetheless )

Starman #69

Hullo! Longtime reader and fan, bringing for your holiday enjoyment, a nice tale of "Times Past". As context, please refer to the "Grand Guignol" arc of James Robinson's Starman. First to share are two panels from the original story, and the re-telling. Please enjoy this as much as I have through the years. If the HTML gets borked, please change up as necessary or notify me.
( A Society of their Own )
Hoping I get all the right tags here. If not, please adjust as needed.

Since there's a bit of a discussion of the most recent Supergirl reboot's character swings and roundabouts going on in the Casstoons post, this seemed like a good time to post 3 pages of Superman/Batman annual 5 which address some of those issues.
A Reign of Doomsday tie-in, the basic setup is Sh*&, Meet Fan. Kara and Dick are trapped in the Watchtower with Doomsday and Cyborg Superman, who's turning the satellite into a giant weapon. Kara has apparently gotten hit with synthetic magic energy and is too ill to fight, so Dick gets her to sickbay, which he explains the JLA somehow turned into a "panic room" - it's cut off from all other systems, Cy.Sup can't reach it to manipulate it, and it's shielded from magic energy. Kara's well while she's in there, but only while she's in there. Dick leaves her to fight the Gruesome Twosome by his lonesome, and Kara accidentally triggers a full-body diagnostic scanner, which informs her she's dying. dun dun DUNNNN!
Through comms she passes word on to Dick, who in mid-battle tells her how to initiate sickbay's holographic Dr. Mid-Nite AI. Holo!Pieter confirms she's dying but can find no organic cause. So, Dick suggests one more option - the holographic Dr. Fate AI.
( Your life is in your own hands. )
She does as he prescribes, and rejoins the battle. And then things get exponentially worse, but that's a tale for another post.

The Halls of Fate, Part Three

In the last chapter of our merry tale of What The Hell, we were treated to a boatload of genetic and esoterical confusion, courtesy of the Hawkfamily, a demon, a wizard, and Dove. In this chapter, we get more build up, a lot of supposed therapy... oh, and plotholes. Big ones. But after the first two chapters, you should have seen that last one coming. Twenty three pages from six issues. I tried this time to limit the ranting. Sort of.
