11:53 am [schmevil] [Link]	Free Comic Book Day! We've been asked how much FCBD stuff is appropriate to post here. The books are free and some of them are being partially/fully made available online by the publishers and creators. So our official modly stance on how much of it we can post is: ALL OF IT BB. Keep to seven pages per poster, in order spread the love around, but we won't be enforcing an upper limit. But do be mindful that FCBD is a promotional effort to bring new readers into smaller shops, and that's A Good Thing. Tags: admin: faq, admin: mod post (9 comments \| Leave a comment)

Many of you are probably already familiar with randomguy's "I'm a Marvel and youre a Dc..." line of stop motion action figure awesomeness. I was delighted to find out he now owns a Deadpool figure...

08:21 pm [runespoor7] [Link]	When Cass was like Jason 4 scans from Batgirl #07. writer: Kelley Puckett, penciller: Damion Scott Being to compared to Jason Todd, in the Batman mythos, is a Bad Thing. According to the orthodox editorial meta, being like Jason means being angry, badly trained, and reckless. Jason Todd is widely depicted as the Bad Robin - first he died, and now he's back, meta wants to make him "irredeemable". It's generally admitted that Steph was like Jason. (Even Robins represent.) *( Before that, there was the time Cass* was like Jason. ) Tags:** char: batgirl/cassandra cain, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: robin/red hood/jason todd, creator: damion scott, creator: kelley puckett, publisher: dc comics, title: batgirl (22 comments \| Leave a comment)

08:46 pm [cyberghostface] [Link]	The Walking Dead #60 Here's a brief excerpt from the latest issue of The Walking Dead. Again, it's probably one of the best comics on the stand right now--if you're a fan of the zombie genre, or even just the horror one, I'd definitely recommend. And to anyone who asks, "How is it any different from any other zombie comic out right now?", all I have to say is, go check out something like Garth Ennis's Crossed and see which one holds out better.

This is the cover by Rand Holmes to the 1974 book A HISTORY OF UNDERGROUND COMICS by Mark James Estren. Let's see who's at the party.

09:29 pm [kagome654] [Link]	How the JLA got its name (!?) I can never quite figure out if this story is in continuity or not. I suspect that it isn't, but I like it, so it's part of my own personal canon.
