As advertised in the last DC Previews, you can now buy blank Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman comics in order to write and draw your own:
I might have some fun with those . . .

Holy Processed Meat, Batman!
Over here in the UK we have a supermarket chain called Asda (or, if you live in Wales like me, it’s referred to as Asdas) and somewhere along the line, I came across some new products they’re selling:
Officially licenced Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman burgers, with each burger shaped like the hero’s logo.
And hey, look at the variation – Batman gets your basic beef burger; Superman gets beef and cheese; while Wonder Woman gets beef, cheese and bacon!
Sorry, Bats, I don’t care if you offer me a side order Bat-sausage:
Wonder Woman’s got bacon. I’m off to Asdas on Themyscira.

Heroes In Crisis
News broke about the next big DC event, Heroes in Crisis by Tom King, dealing with heroes in “a sort of trauma center where [they] can go when things get overwhelming” called Sanctuary.
There’s more to it than that, of course, as it includes a murder mystery and is “also about what happens when Sanctuary fails, resulting in catastrophic consequences for the DCU”
The cover doesn’t give much away, although that might be the Medusa Mask of the Psycho-Pirate that Superman’s holding, along with the figures in white who also appear to be wearing the same style mask, but among the many characters in the crowd, I noticed Power Girl, just behind Hal Jordan’s head. That’s more evidence that that the original PG’s coming back.
I’ll be picking this up, though it sounds more akin to Identity Crisis than any of the other Crisis events, and we all know what a bundle of laughs that turned out to be. My only real knowledge of Tom King is the much acclaimed Omega Men miniseries from a few years ago; while it was good, I disliked the abrupt change in Kyle Rayner as King suddenly made him a devout Catholic, something that was never mentioned before and hasn’t appeared since.
Still, I guess we wait and see.

Superman Sucks, Apparently
A few days ago, I posted about an old Superman ad I’d found; it was a fairly harmless post, I thought, looking at a fairly harmless old advert.
One reader, however, took exception to that and posted a comment which just emphasised why I use comment moderation these days:
As you can see, the point the commenter was trying to make was that Superman sucks. The image above, though, was just the snippet I could grab of what was on screen; if I scrolled down, there was a lot more. A lot more:
That’s my screen zoomed out to 50%, the only way I could get his entire post to display without needing to scroll.
But you know what, Mr anonymous000000@hotmail.com?
