If super heroes were ever allowed to age they’d end up like this.

Newsarama.com : Could Beyonce Be Wonder Woman?
Aight. I think Beyonce is without a doubt bootylicious, but Wonder Woman is supposed to be a Greek Amazon demi-goddess.
My nerd-knowledges aside, she just doessn’t look the part. Even though Wondy’s iconic, her orgins - not so much and while that may leave some room to fudge, she is still fundamentally Greek by design.
The really sad part here is that since there are NO iconic black female superheroes, we have a black celebritry trying to shoehorn her way into this one.
Hey B, maybe you can be Vixen… you don’t know who that is? How about Misty Knight? Still nothing?
Marvel Still Riding Colbert’s Balls.
Alan Moore is Being a Real Dick
Don’t get me wrong. Alan Moore is one of my favorite comic book writers of all time (though Grant Morisson is soon to overtake him), but crapping all over the Watchmen film just because he doesn’t like Hollywood is just a lot of bluster.
I liked it better when he was content to simply say he had no interest in films based on his work and that was it. Hexes? Venom? Shut up with that.
It is so unecessary when despite his disgust, he’ll be receiving a big, fat fucking check from this film and yeah, I know he’ll give it to the artists that worked on it but so what?
How about being humble enough to appreciate that you work is influencing other people and media instead of being a self-righteous prick.
FYI, I still think Alan Moore is the awesome shit!

Check out Marvel with the progressive marketing. These aren’t as good as the Final Crisis commerc… oh. Except there are none. Many of their books are insipid, but they do know how to pimp thier wares.

The most progressive thing that has happened to the X-Men in the past decade was Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly’s run. The characters evolved, pun intented, in a natural way that made a long-time reader, like myself, feel satisfied in the knowledge that even if the X-Men confronted fucking Magneto or the Sentinels AGAIN, we’d be treated to an equally progressive reason for their antagonization of the series’ heroes.
When Morrison left the series it was back to the same old boring bullshit. Superhero costumes and the same status que. Please do not assail me with nonsense related to Joss Whedon’s mastabatory romp through the 80’s, M-Day or the tripe that has spun out of Messiah Complex, I read them - they were dull.
X-Men are now a diluted, derivative trip down all the same roads they’ve been down before.
