Feels like DC really crowned on Marvel at SDCC this year. Cringe action figure action in DCKO, mostly interesting looking Vertigo stuff, Rucka back on Batwoman, more Camp...

Meanwhile Marvel is like "how about yet another symbiote event"

Homer in the "Third Dimension." He and everything around him are computer animated. He's standing on a green grid. Shapes and math equations surround him.

Homer: Did anyone see the movie Tron?

Dr. Hibbert, in the Simpsons' living room: No.

Everyone else says "No." in rapid succession.

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

It's so funny that one of the best kids books of all time has no main character under the age of 50

The Hobbit should be read only after reading The Lord of the Rings and watching those movies, so that when you get to Rivendell you can experience the same thing Shrek and Donkey did in Duloc

I still think all the time about when Kane PUNCHED HIS FIST upward through the center of the mat, and climbed out of a hole leading to literal hell and then John Cena went under the mat (where hell is) to grab a folding chair.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

I'm reminded of this scene I wrote in Darth Vader, which is born of me pitching "Okay - the reason Droids don't generally beat humans in Star Wars is they don't have blood, as that's where midichlorians are. So, how about syringe-powered vampire robots?" and (rightfully) being told no, kieron, no.

Page from Darth Vader 19, drawn by Salva Larocca. Triple Zero makes a speech to scare the humans attacking teh robots, claiming all the robots are definitely NOT vampires.

rise of the machines

Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses.
"C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks.
"oh this, Fred?"
We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain."

The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked."
Fred looks incredulous.

The bird pecks Barney.

Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.

Thinking about how many big popular and/or critically acclaimed horror movies wouldn't fit the bill. Even recent ones!

Cannot recommend this book enough, it's a fun ride that reads like you're watching a Soderbergh in the DCU
