Women Who Castrating Men For Fun

Superhero & mainstream comics—May and early June, 2011

“Everything will change…in a flash!” With the recent news that DC will relaunch its entire line following the conclusion of Flashpoint at the end of August, the miniseries’ tagline has a brand new meaning. New #1’s across the boards (including Grant Morrison on a Superman title and Geoff Johns on Aquaman), Jim Lee redesigns of every major character, and digital day-of-date release are major shake-ups for the company, and what better way to usher in a new age than by having everything instantly change in DC’s big summer event? 

Even before it unveiled the relaunch plans, DC’s hype machine was on overdrive for  Flashpoint , which teams DCU mastermind Johns with superstar artist Andy Kubert for a story that gets by on craft rather than the familiar plot: Professor Zoom has altered the timeline and only Barry Allen knows anything is wrong. Barry never became the Flash, Cyborg is America’s favorite superhero, and Batman is Thomas Wayne, who lost his son and wife one fateful night in crime alley. The story has a lot in common with Marvel’s  House Of M , with major status changes for most characters, including tyrannical versions of Aquaman and Wonder Woman, with the latter seizing control of the UK with her Amazon sisters and castrating any men who set foot on what’s now called New Themyscira. The emotional tether of the story looks to be Barry’s relationship with his now-alive mother, and it will be interesting to see how the more personal elements of the script fare as the plot grows wider in scope.

What Geoff Johns does best is build worlds, and the strongest scene of this issue is Cyborg’s conference with the heroes of the world, a group consisting of Batman, Citizen Cold, Shade The Changing Man, and more than a couple new faces. Kubert has some inspired designs for both new and existing characters, and part of the thrill is seeing the modifications he makes to familiar looks. Incorporating red into the Batman design, splitting Captain Marvel into six teens, and giving Cyborg a major upgrade are some of the aesthetic changes, and there’s a whole world of characters still waiting to be explored—and most of them are getting their own tie-in series. More than 20 new books will cross over with the main series, which is serious overkill, even for DC.

Limbaugh blames all liberal women for weiner tweeting - Kick ...

“Why can’t we blame liberal women for what these politicians are doing? They have feminized politics to such a degree that men can’t be men anymore. They’ve all got to be out there and prove that they’re Alan Alda or whoever is the definition of a real man. Michael Kinsley? I don’t know. But look at what we’re told. We’re told that Weiner is the man of the hour. What he is is a genuine pencil-necked geek." To answer only ONE of your long list of queries. Rush Limbaugh's addiction to drugs, food, and his marital problems are relevant only because of the bombastic attacks he has made on others for those very things. Surely you haven't forgotten Limbaugh's own Oxycontin-gate? Previously he had gleefully ranted that all drug abusing scum should be sent 'up the river' forever! His own obvious battle with food as an emotional crutch and his quickly failed marriages make him a poor prospect for hiding in a glass house and throwing stones - but you knew that. It is all delineated here: http://rackjite.com/web/rush_limbaugh.htm He is also not troubled by passing off fiction as truth, as evidenced in the Hillary Clinton - Vince Foster story which Rackjite brought up today. He may be free to broadcast that utter crap, but those who view it as anything other than fiction as willingly deluded. It demonstrates a complete lack of morality and character. For the sake of ratings, he willfully slanders and libels, putting innocent people at risk from loose screws who listen to - and believe him. The subject at hand is Weiner, not Limbaugh, and your attempt to turn it back on conservatives is obvious: elected (D) Mr. Whoever screws up, Limbaugh attacks, progressives retaliate by attacking Limbaugh (not his arguments mind you, but the man). Conservatives scramble to defend. Lost in the volleys between them is (A) Weiner is the culprit, and (B) conservatives are (once again) on the defensive. I think the reason conservatives fall for it every time is because of the naked lunacy regarding the content of progressive attacks combined with the speed and viciousness with which progs let them fly. (Conservatives can’t sit idly by while such filth is being sprayed without trying to bring levity.) While conservatives are out making the valid point that Weiner acted disgracefully (Care to guess what would happen to a general or judge or police chief were he to tweet his johnson to a 17-year-old?
