    Lockjaw was always one of my favorite characters, so I'd like to thank Marvel for RAPING MY CHILDHOOD WITH PET AVENGERS.


    Also, I didn't realize until WIKI-ing it that Lockjaw wasn't a human in big sloppy dog form, as I remember that reveal, but not the, er, reveal to the reveal?


    Also, holy crap: [enterthestory.com]


    And: [enterthestory.com]


    No, that is not my website.

    @Lassus: And now, my diatribe against the phrase 'raped my childhood' and it's use by fanboys. You do not have personal ownership over any character, story or property. You have your own memories, and your own likes and dislikes. When a creator takes something you cherished in a direction you dislike, the mature response is "I prefer X over Y because..." and then list salient reasons.


    The more common route however, is some variation on the phrase "raped my childhood." This phrase implies that creators have a responsibility to you, because you are (obviously) the definitive authority on the topic. You aren't. Get over yourself.

    @sensenet: I've been here long enough to know that Lassus wouldn't type that seriously.

    @ZanipoloLebron: My kitties like to play with bubbles too.


    But they are not super-heroic in any way. Or even super-villains. Just super-cute.

    "I thought you'd be happy for me."


    So for the whole time she's been on earth, she hasn't found the time to watch any television?

    @92BuickLeSabre: She's been super-busy trying to figure out her storyline since they fumbled her intro into the DCU so badly. Didn't even have time to buy clothes that fit her until this summer, poor little thing.

    Also, knowing nothing about this storyline, I have to predict that the new kryptonians are all going to die from some innocuous Earth virus.


    Unless they plan on keeping a million Super People around.

    Has Supergirl ever become pregnant?


    I think in 2008 the world is ready to see a knocked up Supergirl. And what kind of baby a half-Kryptonian half-human would be like.


    (hopefully, not one of those babies that grow up to adulthood in three months because the writers can't deal with writing about an infant)

    Great. Just as I feared. In order to even follow Supergirl, I'm going to be expected to buy all the Superman books. And any storyline the writer tries to do will get immediately derailed by crossovers.


    *sigh* I've been buying Supergirl since Peter David was writing her prior incarnation (still my favorite). Guess this is the end of the line.

    In reply to Superman To Abandon Earth And Action In '09
    Let's see, Bruce Wayne no longer Batman, Birds of Prey cancelled, Blue Beetle cancelled, Supergirl bound to the Superman books to the point where the plot really doesn't stand entirely alone, Superman leaving his own books, Final Crisis making ZERO sense as a standalone...?


    Okay, okay, I get it, DC. You've decided that if a person isn't buying ALL your comics, she shouldn't bother to buy ANY of your comics, haven't you?

    What a great idea. Can we send Dan Didio into space forever too?
