It’s the end of another week, caped crusaders, but not the end of my coffee for the day. Go ahead and check up on DC, while I get a refill, okay?
Cook Your Comics: Thanksgiving Spectacular, Part 1
Thanksgiving is coming soon for those of us in the United States. It’s my favorite holiday. It’s both the biggest cooking holiday of the year and it’s always around my birthday — in fact, my birthday is on Thanksgiving this year, so my birthday cake will probably be a pumpkin pie. And about 10 years…
The Weight of the Feminist World: Lexi Alexander Will Not Direct Wonder Woman
Last month Warner Bros. announced that they were seeking a female director for the upcoming Wonder Woman project.

DC Offers Up Fanfic for CONVERGENCE; Takes All My Money [Gif]
Okay, everyone, hold the phone. Just stop. Right where you are. I said stop. Are you stopped? Okay, good. Now sit down, because, if you’re like me, you’re going to need a second to collect yourself after I tell you this: CONVERGENCE is basically going to be the DC fanfic of your dreams, and we…
Release The Spectre: Batman Eternal #29-30
I have to apologize for falling a bit behind with the Batman Eternal recaps. But, I’m all caught up now and ready to discuss what the people of Gotham have been up to in the latest issues. #29 – “The City of Shadow and Doubt” Story by Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV Script by…
The DC Daily Planet – Divergence! Wait, no.
Look, I know there’s only one real piece of news out of the DC PR machine today, but there’s more to talk about that just The Rock’s Shazam movie, and whether or not it’ll be independent from the rest of the DC oeuvre, okay? (As a side note, do you ever find you self-trend specific…
Top Five Alternative Superman Stories We Wished Existed
Superman is a character who seems to solve most of his problems with logic through an easy going grin and/or punching nouns. What happens when we dedicate standalone stories to issues people deal with on a regular basis? More importantly, what happens when someone like Superman has to deal with these issues? Stuff happens. Lots…
The DC Daily Planet: Casting Call
Happy Halloween, caped crusaders! I know masked justice belongs in the stark shadows of Gotham’s alleyways, but if you’re wandering about masked in broad daylight today, leave me a comment with your costume!
Cook Your Comics: Easy Chili a la Green Arrow
I am from Texas. Chili is a big deal here. Like, A BIG DEAL. You have never seen a fanboy argument taken more seriously than one between some Texans over what constitutes proper Texas chili. It’s the exact same dynamic – personal taste defended with near-religious fervor. So here’s the deal: true, authentic Texas chili…
The DC Daily Planet: DC REPRESENT
Happy Friday, Gothamites! I’ve got a lot of news for you today, so let’s dive right in. This is the most important thing you will hear this week: Static Shock is getting a live-action series.

The DC Daily Planet: My First Book of Girl Power
Welcome to Friday, heroes! (Or villains, I don’t know your life.) It’s been an uphill battle this week — punching trains, battling evil-doers, clawing my way back to sunlight from under a mountain of paperwork — and I’m about ready to kick off the weekend with a nice cup of Joe, a shot of definitely-not-whiskey,…
