As you no doubt are aware, “Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe” is coming out sometime soon for major gaming consoles everywhere. Now here is what I don’t get. Why the hell is Superman in a goddamned Mortal Kombat game? I mean, what happens when Superman gets stabbed by Scorpion? “GET OVER HERE – AGH! NO! […]

From comments yesterday: Actually, I wouldn’t mind hearing your full thoughts on the issue of the Legion and why Johns shouldn’t be writing it. I mean, just a bit of a more detailed answer. and And while you’re being forced to give thoughts, what’s the best possible outcome for Legion of Three Worlds short of […]

Some talented artist out there needs to draw a picture of Cthulhu having a knock-down drag-out brawl with Voltron. DO IT! DO IT NOOOOOOOOOW! UPDATE: Also Rex the Wonder Dog is helping Voltron, as suggested by lance lunchmeat in comments.

(I had been working on this for a while, but until Chris Sims wrote his excellent piece on the Joker, I had been having a lot of problems structuring it the way I wanted it to flow. His piece provided a helpful baseline for me to work from, and for that I give him kudos […]

Because I don’t want to be associated with shit like this. I’m going to take a different tack from Kevin and Sims and others here, and say “fuck yes, discuss it here.” I’m not sure what there is to discuss, really, beyond “this is bad and should not happen and Di Bello is completely right.” […]
