Colorful Turns of Phrase

It is one hell of a thing to put up a post advertising the end of our broadcast day when we haven’t published anything since yesterday at just after midnight, but I have a good excuse: over the past couple of days, the comics Internet has blown up (again) over the concept of female cosplayers and “fake geek girls” at comic conventions. Which is nothing new; this kind of thing pops up every six or eight weeks these days… only this time, it happened during the two to six hour window on a Tuesday when I was sober, which meant I was able to have an opinion. Which has been written, and which is in the process of being reviewed by my co-Editor Amanda to make sure it makes sense and doesn’t contain words like, “bonerjonesers,” or phrases like, “you reactionary, unfuckable, drippy-dicked misogynists,” and it will hopefully be ready to publish once I finish going through notes like: “Rob: watch your capitalization. Example: Cameltoe is not a superhero. Neither is The Whimpering Boy-Virgin.”

Anyway, while that piece is being whipped into shape, it is still Wednesday, and that means new comics. Which means that, continued spellchecking on words like, “taintgrovelers,” or no, this…

…means the end of our broadcast day.

But lets put phrases like, “jizz-dribbling Raven snivelers” aside and acknowledge that this is one hell of a week for new comic books. We’ve got the lamented final issue of Garth Ennis’s The Boys, the start of Dan Slott’s runup to Superior Spider-Man with the first part of the final story of The Amazing Spider-Man, the first Matt Fraction issue of Fantastic Four, the second Batman issue of Death Of The Family, and the book I’m most excited about: Locke & Key: Omega #1. Plus a shit-ton of other cool stuff!

But before we can review them, we need time to read them… and to decide where to put the hyphens in phrases like, “woman-hating spunk-dumpers.” So until that time…

…see you tomorrow, suckers!
