I don’t have time for a full post today thanks to…reasons. (Hey, it works for DC. At least I know what my reasons are.) So here’s a cool marriage proposal video because you know I like to post those. In it, a performance of Peter Pan in Glasgow, Scotland, is interrupted when the actor playing Peter Pan (Sandor Sturbl…which unlike every US performance I’ve ever heard of is an actual male instead of a woman playing against all kids) proposes to his girlfriend, Jane Mary Sullivan (listed as Lilly-Jane Young in the description for some reason), playing Wendy because I don’t think any of the cast were kids. At least “Peter” and “Wendy” aren’t or this would be very creepy very fast.
I wanted to make an “unplugged” joke, but the gag strip in this issue did it already.

If you thought “Inspector Spacetime” was the first time someone tried to parody Doctor Who in the states, meet Professor Gamble. Chris Sims of Comics Alliance found an issue of Power Man & Iron Fist, where the heroes for hire came across robots that act very similar to the Daleks and their enemy, who swapped a police box for a bookstore. I kind of want to find this comic now.
I knew I had another issue. It was buried in the stack.

The DC Universe keeps finding new ways to stay dead. That is the power of the New 52.
Remember when villains were the bad guys? When we rooted for them to be beaten by the heroes? Apparently Geoff Johns never did. His latest bit of fail is having Lex Luthor join the Justice League after the events of Forever Evil, Johns’ personal ad towards supervillains. In an interview with the Associated Press he just keeps covering the grave of the DCU in favor of DC52 so high you could get a nosebleed standing on it.
What began as a series of alternate covers featuring Dynamite licensed properties as kids led to a series of one-shots that are kid-friendly even if the source material (for example Evil Ernie and Vamparella) aren’t.
