The Sweeping Saga of Stephanie's Superhero Suits!
In other news, I hung out with Joanna and John this weekend. It was fun, we went to the mall and I made fun of Twilight a lot (it was EVERYWHERE) and John tried valiantly to defend it and then we went to "This is It" because Joanna loved Micheal Jackson so much, and it was actually pretty good with amazing dancing and special effects and all that.
I got Secret Six and Incredible Hercules this week.
For Secret Six:
The Deadshot character piece was decent and a good read, so 4/5
and Incredible Herc...well, it wasn't bad, but I don't think it was one of the better issues, and having to listen to Spiderman whine about being set up with homeless people (Though I hold vague, smoldering contempt for the whole deal, I'm not even remotely close to being so raged over One More Day that I go CAPS over Peter's every appearance, but honestly, the dude's complaining about being set up with *ohnoes* homeless people and having no luck with his love life after selling his marriage to the devil. As a reader, I can't drum up any sympathy) and seeing the "girl ineffectually pounds fists on man's chest and cries" trope in play (I hate that trope so much!) really dampened my enjoyment. Maybe I should get some back issues. 3/5
s'all for tonight.

That and Ashley Greene in that baseball uniform make for my shameful tolerance of the series.
((okay, those things and how much fun it is to poke at))
It just seemed so unlike Peter. But then again, everything has since BND/OMD... that's not Peter, it's Douchy McLameHaremAnimeLead.
Also, nice history of Steph's costume there. Makes for good reference if I ever get to a con as the alt-dimensional Spoiler, a.k.a. Steven Brown.
Overall the history was fun and informative. It boggles the mind that there were so many versions of the costume.
Thanks for your hard work.
Yeah, this wasn't a great month to start on Herc. The weird gender stuff in particular was very strange - the Artume-takes-over-the-world arc was possibly the single most intelligent, thoughtful, balanced, feminist take on gender issues and the whole patriarchy deal I've ever seen in a comic, so seeing lame cliches and Herc being randomly sexist was very whiplash-y in addition to being tiresome.
My haircut looks just like Steph's short hair! This fills me with glee :D
