• RT @karlkerschl: Posted page 9 inks from my Flash story! It was fun to play with all of the different styles on this one.
• One of the Flash’s Rogues must be on vacation in SoCal. Not sure I believe 103 degrees, but it is seriously warm.
• Bought this week: Wednesday Comics, Madame Xanadu, Farscape, Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance. Of the 4, I’m only caught up on Madame Xanadu. I’ve got some reading to do tonight!
• Funny Firefox easter egg: type “about:robots” into the location bar (via @Aeire & @IsobelWren)
• Has Marvel ever called a Spider-Man story “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” or “Last Dance with Mary Jane”? If not, how have they missed it?
• FlashForward: Sulu and Shakespeare team up to investigate a time-travel incident.
• Let’s just say I’m glad I only paid $1.75 to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. How do you make giant robots & explosions tedious?
• Apparently, you can now buy Squee! in a tube.
• 4 of the 6 whenever-it-comes-out comics I’m reading are just 1 issue from the conclusion. 5/7 if you include Ignition City.

Thoughts

• Anyone else find themselves driving behind a dark red Mercury Mystique and think, “Shouldn’t that be blue?”

Photos

• Wow there were a lot of women dressed as Rogue at Dragon*Con. And people took a lot of pictures of them.
• It’s tough to look for “flash” and “zoom” on a photo site.
• Wow! Incredible photo set! RT @liabrown1: Awesome collection of Rogues (and Flash) cosplayer photos.
• LOST props at D23 featuring the Flash/Green Lantern comic (the one w/the polar bear).
• SDCC pix have mostly taken over top 10 slots on my Flickr stats, but Wondercon’s Silk Spectre & Dr Manhattan are still #1
