Out of curiosity, have you seen any of the much older superhero shows? Like Lois & Clark or Batman '66 or Wonder Woman?
I have not seen much Lois And Clark, but I’ve seen the others, or had years ago when I was a kid, sporadically. I enjoy them for what they are, and I think Lynda Carter is fantastic, but I always cringed at the camp material for her.

A Big Favor
I have been asked to a cool convention in Asia (can’t say where yet, sorry!) and they asked for something very specific from me.
They have asked me to pick ten images from my work, high-resolution images that show the books I have worked on. They should show a variety of titles and formats.
I am not great at this stuff. So I could use some help here, if you guys don’t mind.
I am looking for powerful images from my work. Small panels that are complicated or talky are probably not suitable. More than likely, we are looking for covers, promo art, pin-ups, of full page spreads, things that are very visual and accessible to people with less than an encyclopedic knowledge of my work. They have to be from my actual books, not fan art or commission stuff.
Any thoughts? Any particular covers or big art shots that you find memorable or striking?
This will help a lot, thanks, guys!
I'd be willing to bet good money that badgers enjoy the shit outta hotdogs.
That’s my theory.
So I’m just going to say it.
BADGERS LOVE WIENERS.
Hi, do you have any ships for Batgirl (Barbara)? I think you like Dick and Babs together, but I'm curious if you think anyone else is a good match in the Batman mythos?
I actually don’t see her (this is my headcanon, remember, not anything official) with anyone in the batfamily other than Dick. I know there are people who ship her with Red Hood, but that feels odd to me (mostly through ignorance, I don’t know the character that well). I think outside of the batfamily, I could see her easily with Dinah or Ted Kord.
Okay, About Arrow
…and Flash and SHIELD and all those other shows.
People keep trying to draw me into debates about them. And I got a little frustrated a few minutes ago and just said poop on it.
But the truth is, after thinking about it, I have to say, I do kind of get it. When you love characters, when you love a show, you take it very personally. I understand that. It means a lot to you, you want to see it done right.
Fair enough. And no one should judge you for that.
But guys, I can’t help you. I don’t watch ANY of those shows. It has nothing to do with quality, I just don’t watch much television. When I have free time, I like to spend it reading, visiting my family and dogs, and playing games. It has nothing to do with the shows, I hear they are all great.
But I haven’t seen even an entire episode of most of them. Arrow, I think I have seen twice.
When you talk about Felicity, you know what I think of? The Lego game version, that’s all I know of her. I haven’t got a clue who she is on the show, what she looks like, who plays her, nothing.
So I can’t help, I’m sorry. I posted a bit about Arrow today because they are saying they might have a White Canary, and I am excited about that (except White Canary is supposed to be Asian, like Sin).
That unleashed a bit of a twitter war, with one side calling the other homophobic, and that side calling the first racist.
I condemn both those things whole-heartedly, I think everyone knows that. I may not get everything right all the time, but homophobia and racism both suck. I hate them.
Unfortunately, from my vantage point, I feel like a badger watching a football game. I don’t know the players, I don’t know the rules, I don’t know the history, and I have no idea what’s going on, I just like the smell of the hot dogs, mostly. Do badgers like hot dogs?
I bet they do.
Anyway, I apologize for getting frustrated, I am sure most everyone is being sincere. But I just don’t have much of an opinion on ARROW because I don’t watch it, I don’t follow the news about it, and the same goes for all the other comic book shows going on right now.
Okay? Apologies to anyone who felt I didn’t take them seriously, it’s not that, it’s just a complete blank slate to me and I don’t know what the details are. Having twenty people shouting them at me in contrasting anonymous dms ODDLY DOESN’T HELP.
Now if you want to ask my opinion on Catman’s ass, I have volumes of material on that topic.

Did a little late Friday review of the Convergence: Nightwing and Oracle #1! Please go read the issue it’s the best! I wish I had more nice things to say about this issue!
I am so glad you enjoyed it.
What I really appreciate here above all is, KORY AND BARBARA WOULD NOT COMPETE. That just is not in their nature, I feel. Kory in particular would laugh at the idea. She loves someone, she wants them to be happy, that’s pretty much the end of that story. :)
Thank you for the kind review!
I'm so sorry that you're being used as an unwitting tool in an online war.
I have no idea what’s going on. I don’t know the players on either side. One side is almost all anonymous and the other side I don’t know.
Guys, I DON’T WATCH ARROW. I do not watch television very much at all. I think I have seen TWO episodes. I don’t know the data.
I commented to a tweet, got a bunch of messages, and then this.
Poop on it. Until I know more, I’m deleting the posts. I haven’t got a clue what is going on and it’s irritating.
