| May. 13th, 2008 12:50 pm Mother’s Day Extrava-frickin-ganza (cont) I know some blogs out there manage to have whole weeks dedicated to theme. While I don't know if I want to commit to anything so specific, I still have a little love to spread for Mother's Day.
Let’s keep it going for the momma’s in the house with a visual ode using one of the great mother/daughter teams of the past year:
Helena and Selina Kyle
“And baby makes three—well two anyways”
I’ll tell you, kids are something else. They’re always getting into all sorts of trouble, talking to strangers and attracting criminal types to the house.
Like Angelo Bend and the erstwhile Film Freak here.
Being caught dead-bang and hobbled on the floor just wasn’t scary enough.
With little Helena stuck in the middle, now it’s a scene with some chest hair.
When you’re stuck, you’re stuck.
Selina however, is never one to let herself be paralyzed to inaction as so many of us are prone.
As a good mother should, she reminds us all: You gotta try.
“—altho by jaw.”
Of course, being 5’9” of spring-loaded awesome never hurts your gumption either.
Let’s hear it for our Moms, who would gladly lift cars or put out Angle Man’s lights for us and always remind us to keep trying even when we're down on the floor with a trick triangle stuck in our ankle.
Mother: (Noun).
Synonym: Chauffeur.
Seriously, moms are always tapped to drive us around and pick our asses up.
It’s important to remember even when they ask us to be waiting, there are better places to wait than the middle of the street.
Obviously parking is always a concern in the city, hence why she’d want us waiting.
But there is no length a mom won’t go for her children, even if it means finding an unorthodox spot.
“Pritty mommy, pritty!”
Barring that, you could always hoof it. B/c that’s what good mothers do.
“I’m sorry baby, I had to crash that car.”
(okay, all joking aside, this is simply one of the most stunning scenes of the otherwise stunning series which is currently being cancelled b/c you ass-burglars weren’t buying it. I hope you’re proud of yourselves. You’ve let mother down).
"You've got me? Who's got you?"
Happy Mother’s Day, Selina and all you mamas out here, especially you single gals. It ain’tn’t easy.
Thanks for the everything.
Mr. Pfeifer, a request: Please give Helena back before you have to turn the lights off and put the chairs up.
The real burden was in writing her on a monthly schedule, right? These two deserve each other.
“Lone Cat and Kitten”

| Mar. 4th, 2008 12:31 pm The Reach Attacks! It has come to the attention of this blog, Blue Beetle will not be ending with #25. But rather will be taken over by Will Pfreaking Pfeifer!
While this does make me nervous considering what a good and uninterrupted run it’s been with Rogers in command; having the man who kicks Catwoman’s ass every month taking over the writing chores does give me a shot of confidence.
I’ve already heard a few stones slung Will’s way as holdng top billing on the travesty that was Amazon’s Attack, which is mostly unfair. He was handed that concept and wrote it the best he could.
I’ve said before the idea was fine; it was the marketing, timing, and follow-through that were for shit. So let’s not hold that against him. Instead let’s look at him as the guy who should be writing Salvation Run; the guy who’s keeping Selina Kyle legit, and the guy who wrote the engrossing and disturbing Dial H for HERO series from a few years back.
While Jaime doesn’t seem an immediately logical fit for Will’s strengths, I trust he will try his ass off to deliver quality comics (not to be confused with Quality Comics).
I’m with you, Jaime.
Current Mood:  hopeful
