Okay, I just saw this article over at Sci Fi Wire, and it just made me laugh...

The Punisher Meets... Archie? The 8 most bizarre comic crossovers

(Okay, it does mention the X-Men/Star Trek crossover in it... but most are just really, really odd pairings...)

I've recently gotten addicted and spent far too much money catching up on Fables. It's very cool and clearly written for adults (mature content and themes, not rampant nudity and mindless violence.) When I read that its been optioned as a potential television show, I got mildly excited ... before quickly remembering that television screws everything up...

Ahaha!.. Punisher meets Archie sounds as almost good as my favorite "Punisher kills Marvel Universe". And who know may be there is a room for my favorite vigilante Dogwelder :biggrin:

The Batman is dead. Long live... the lesbian Batwoman?

That's a trick question, right?

Sigh...

Frank Miller working on 300 sequel?

Honestly, you can't do a sequel to a damn story where the main characters are dead. If you go, "Oh, wait, not all of the Spartans died"--you've cheapened the sacrifice they made at Thermopylae so the rest of the Greeks could pull back and regroup elsewhere, and essentially ruined the point of the first movie/comic book... (and yes, I do know that others did survive to tell the story of their sacrifice, but the whole reason why Thermopylae is remembered as anything more than a footnote in history is because the Spartans died to the last man defending a pass, killing thousands of Persians in the process. Otherwise it would be largely be ignored, to be quite honest).

But honestly, if they all died, what are they going to do in a sequel, show the dead Spartan warriors wandering about in the Elysian Fields?

^ I hope they'll do a story with new characters (except maybe Queen Gorgo and the ones that remained in Sparta), showing what happened in Greece after the battle of Thermopylae.

You know, Rigil, someone else apparently likes that "Widening Gyre" title:

Will Kevin Smith give Batman a new sidekick

Probably. I just found it amusing that someone else just happened to use the exact same phrase from the same poem that Rigil likes and is using for his current NCIS stories, especially since I don't think I'd ever seen that particular phrase used as a title of anything prior to Rigil's story (which doesn't mean anything, just that I haven't seen it if someone did use it elsewhere)...

Do not like. Not at all. Blech.

And the story accompanying that costume change, even if its written by JMS, doesn't sound particularly appealing to me either.

You're not alone. Most of the people who posted comments below it hated the new costume.

I know that I don't care for her biker babe look either, and I'm probably being silly, but I liked the costume that Lynda Carter wore on the TV show all those years ago...

They've never actually done a WW costume that I totally like. The swimsuit look she's had forever is kind of silly, IMO, and I've always wanted them to redesign it so her outfit looks more Greek.

LOL... bet you never thought you'd agree with Gloria Steinem on not liking Wonder Woman's new look, Rigil:
