	That's...striking. I wonder if they ever revisited this place. Would be interesting to see how it developed... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Would be interesting to see how it developed... This is definitely my new goal if I ever end up writing comics. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I am fascinated and intrigued by the implications of this. (Reply to this)

	Now that's a stealth strike! I'm amazed no one picked up on it. (Reply to this)

	Someday I will have to go back to see how the new kingdom I formed is making out Damn it context! You're supposed to make comments like that less cracky, not more cracky. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Yah, that had to be a Freudian slip.

Zatara: "Someday I will have to go back to see how the new kingdom I formed is making out!"

Man With Shades: "Making out?"

Zatara: "You know what I meant. I'll go back and see who they're doing."

Man With Shades: "Who they're doing?"

Zatara: "How they're doing! I'll go back and see how they're doing it."

Man With Shades: "How they're doing it?"

	Zat: Oh, for heaven's sake... In any case, do you happen to have a motion picture camera I could borrow, perchance? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Zatara is awesome. He made ~~girl-girl kissing~~ a new kingdom happen, and without the use of backwards talking. ♫ I kissed my co-regent and I liked it... ♫ (Reply to this)

	The real problem with diplomacy? Not enough top hats. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I like the original Zatara. He was just a swanky sort of guy. Of course, you can expect nothing less of the guy who raised Zatanna. Also, not enough people wear tophats these days, in real life or in comics. Tophats are neat. (Reply to this)

	So... the first on-panel same-sex kissing scene happened in the 1940's. I don't know whether to be more impressed or depressed. When was the last time two characters of the same gender kissed on panel in a mainstream book? Still-- this post came just in time for the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, so I thank you!

	When was the last time two characters of the same gender kissed on panel in a mainstream book? Shatterstar and Rictor in the most recent issue of X-Factor. And Xavin and Karolina in Terry Moore's Runaways. (Not that gay characters have anything close to equal representation in comics, of course.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I cannot imagine any other explanation than lesbianism behind that kiss. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hey, European businessmen do it all the time. Of course, they kiss on the cheek, and they're not usually that... affectionate... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They don't embrace that tightly, for one thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know that this isn't the sort of thing I'm supposed to notice when there are interdimensional lesbian monarchs making out right in front of me, but - did anyone else notice that Zatara seems to be wearing earmuffs in panel 2? (Reply to this) (Thread)
