Locked in the trunk of my car, again.

A blog about life, love and the smell that used to come from the trunk of my car, before it was stolen.

What is tapioca anyway?

The world of comics is going crazy. Everytime i pick one up i say to myself It won't be that bad, it can't, oh but it is. I finally got caught up with all the titles i buy on a regular basis, i knew the DC Crisis was gonna be big and that lot's of things are going to be different... well here are some of the changes so far:

1. There are 2 Supermans, which wouldn't be so bad except that they're dangling the possibility of bringing back the leaps tall buildings in a single bound Superman, and he's just boring.
2. There are 2 Superboys, you know, i would have much rather they go into the fact that the current Superboy (Connor) is actually a clone of superman and Lex, they kinda jumped over that and brought in another superboy.
3. There are 2 Supergirls, for christ sake! is it just me or are they pushing it with the doubles here?
4. The Flash (Wally West) basically quit, time to be with his family.
5. The Flash (Jay Garrick) lost the speed force, so he's gone.
6. Wonder Woman killed a dude on tv, so her mission as peace ambassador failed. Themyscara, the Island where her sisters the amazons live, vanished for good.
7. Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow, fell onto 2 arrows, looks like he's dead.
8. Connor Queen, Oliver's son, had a building collapse on him, don't know if he's gonna make it.
9. Mia aka Speedy, Oliver's ward, seems to have been killed in that same building collapse.
10. Dick Grayson aka nightwing, is gay.
11. Colossus of the xmen, is gay and has a crush on Nightcrawler, eww.
12. Black Cat is bi-sexual.

And i have to add a little something concerning the BlackCat/Spiderman "The Evil that men do" I waited almost 3 years to read the end to this arc by Kevin Smith. Three years ago it seemed promissing. The story was that Spiderman and BlackCat were after Mr.Brownstone, who was a mutant capable of teleporting small amounts of liquid with his mind. This translated into a very successful career in the drug industry for Mr.Brownstone. Of course, he got greedy and started making people overdose. Not a bad little story, had alot of promise. Cut to 3 years later : BlackCat is in jail for the murder of Mr.Brownstone. Spiderman enrolls Daredevil to be her lawyer and later to attempt to break her out of jail...but oh no she's already been broken out by Mr Brownstone's little brother, who is, by the way, Mr.Brownstone's killer. Why did he kill his brother? Because apparently he had been the victim of countless years of incestuous rape. yeah, you read that correctly. Kevin Smith had to bring us a Bi-sexual rape victim and team her up with an incestuous rape survivor. Jesus.
