Quote Of The Week
"Decompressed storytelling needs to take a hike. Women need to be more than (literally in JL's case) cheerleaders for the dudes. What you show on the cover needs to have some resemblance to what's in the comic. And assume every comic is someone's first (especially when it's a first issue) and make it clear who's who." -- Ian Boothby
