My Favorite Super-Couples
A few weeks about I said something about how the Batman/Catwoman relationship is one of my favorite romances in comics. This week, I thought it might be interesting to explore why that is and by extension why I love some of the other pairings born in four colors.
I guess this post was always coming; I’ve talked about romance in stories more than almost any other subject here after all, so this was almost inevitable. In the spirit of inevitability and because something that seemed inevitable no...

SIMaS Chapter 10 – How Double Lives Start
This entry is part 10 of 10 in the series So I Married a SupervillainIt was a long elevator ride down from the Royal Suites to the secure garage of the palace. Along the way, Link managed to learn a bit more about the two women who, just as he suspected, made up one shift of the Princess’s Guard.
Like Ari and Dekembe, they only spoke while spoken to, and even then, not much at all, so most of what Link learned came from Mr. Cross, who beside being intent on breeding his son like a champion tho...

Descendants #70: Gold and Glory (CynQuest Part 1) Chp 6
This entry is part 22 of 22 in the series CurrentThere was a moment of tense silence in the room before both Cyn and Melissa turned to the Sorceress.
The hooded woman knew precisely what they wanted to ask her. “This is not the ancient magic. There exist spells to speak with deceased spirits, to bind them, to preserve bodies, and to make golems of flesh—but there exists no spell to raise the dead in the way he described: not in the 4 Books, not in the Recovered Codices, not in the Book of Goin...

Descendants: LA #23 – Wolverine Publicity (Part 5)
This entry is part 11 of 11 in the series Descendants: LA Volume 2Trapped in the grip of Lydia’s telekinetic power and crushed between the burning bed and the section of wall, the locus thrashed. Stress points across the surface of the telekinetic net flared a brighter green as it tried to break out by mean force. Lydia winced under the assault and dipped a little in the air.
“I’m not going to be able to hold this very long.” She said, voice strained by mental effort. “Where to?”
There’s a pool...

Descendants #70: Gold and Glory (CynQuest Part 1) Chp 5
This entry is part 21 of 21 in the series CurrentThough not celebrated for deep, philosophical thought, Princess Cynthia was well aware that the relationship she had with the Sneak Thief was not an equal one. No matter how well they got on, she was still heir to the throne and he was still a commoner and a brigand. One word from her would land him in the dungeons for the rest of his days.
Moreover, he was just a mortal man. A skilled one, yes. One who had access to exotic alchemy and diverse t...

A Few of My Favorite Things
I’m trying really hard to get back on track with my writing schedule, plus next week I’ll be writing a more involved blog post for a cross-blog promotion I’m taking part in (It’s about elves and mine is going to be in the style of the old Dungeon/Dragon magazine ‘Ecology of…’ articles), so this week, we’re going with something lighter and less mentally intensive for me.
Nonetheless, I think many of you might enjoy this. People have routinely asked me to post more stuff about myself here and be...

The Spider’s Seven #21 – The Set-up 2
This entry is part 21 of 21 in the series The Spider's Seven“Ready, Tommy?” Susan was approaching the front doors of the diner with long strides. It was key to keep her momentum or else she might lose her nerve. And any hesitation might get her found out.
“Am I the only one concerned that all this software is simple enough that the instructions Wendell left fit on one page?” Tommy replied. “How many times has someone done this to me without me ever noticing it?”
“Unless you had a much higher mi...
