The big news this week was oddly t-shirts. Yes, t-shirts. Namely t-shirts taken as sexist since men get to “score” with Wonder Woman (I totally agree that shirt’s sexist) and being the future Man Of Steel, while the girl is training to date Batman (which is on a baby’s outfit) or only dating heroes. These aren’t bad things (except the Wonder Woman shirt and a baby training to date Batman, both for different reasons), but the lack of balance for the boy training to date Supergirl or the girl being a future Wonder Woman. And the fact that we’re only talking Wonder Woman says a lot about DC, too.
Anyway, former DC editor Janelle Asselin goes over these disasters that set the Outhouse’s DC did something stupid counter back to zero after 80 days and the general ideas as to how this got past the licensing department.
The day he quit being Spider-Man. And the Avengers. And the Fantastic Four.

Thanks to a nap this commentary I’m writing won’t be done in time if I want to go over it right. (Trust me, if you enjoy any of these it will be worth it, if only to give you something to think about, agree or not.) So for something for tonight we have a mash-up of Super Smash Brothers and Star Wars from Trainsformers‘ James Farr. Enjoy.
Darn cheap replicas.

There has been a lot of talk lately about conventions and how well comic creators do at conventions. If they can’t even make back the money spent on renting the table for whatever days I can see why. However, Ryan Estrada (a friend of BW Virtual Mentor Jerzy Drozd) tried a counter-intuitive experiment at an English language geek convention in Korea called AlleyCon. He made his table into a “pay what you want” table for his print comics…and did more than he thought he would had he simply sold it like usual. Sometimes experiments pay off.
Doctor Doom looks worse than ever!
