Cranberry Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini

Cranberry Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini
I love quinoa all year long, but it makes Passover cooking just a bit easier. These are SO good and easy! A little sweet, a little savory, healthy and rich tasting thanks to our friend Temp Tee.
- Prep Time : 15 min
- Cook Time : 25 min
- Ready Time : 40 min
- 4 Medium zucchini, washed
- Salt and Pepper
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Uncooked quinoa, rinsed (makes about 2 cups cooked)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup Kosher for Passover dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup Scallions, sliced thin
- 4 ounce Temp Tee Whipped Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Toasted walnuts, diced
1. Line a baking sheet with foil and pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Halve each zucchini lengthwise and scoop out any seeds. There should be about ¼ inch of zucchini left on all sides.
3. Drizzle the inside of the zucchini with olive oil and season with salt and pepper then turn the zucchini over so they are skin side up.
4. Roast the zucchini skin side up on the cookie sheet for about 12 minutes until slightly softened. Then flip the zucchini back over.
5. Meanwhile, cook quinoa. Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a small stockpot and then lower to a simmer and cover. Cook for 20 minutes until tender and then fluff with a fork.
6. Immediately mix in spinach so it wilts. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Then mix in cranberries, scallions and Temp Tee Whipped Cream Cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
7. Put the filling in each of the zucchini halves filling evenly until each one is full. Bake for 5-7 minutes until filling is heated through. Garnish with roasted walnuts and serve warm!
About What Jew Wanna Eat
9 Responses to Cranberry Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini
For dietary reasons i can't have cream cheese. Can you suggest a substitute?
I can't either, if there's vegan cream cheese for pesach use that or try mayo, or make cashew cream with a good blender like Blendertec or Vitamix if it's kosher for Pesach.
my husband doesn't like zucchini for some reason. do you think it would also work with eggplant? how might you adjust it?
I made this with a vegan cream cheese and it came out great. I added a few shakes of parsley, thyme, and rosemary, too. Mmm. : ) I also mixed the walnuts right into the filling instead of using them for garnish.
Red quinoa makes this dish even more colorful.
Could this be made ahead of time?
Could you substitute goat cheese for cream cheese?

Announcing Philadelphia Magazine's 50 Best Restaurants for 2015
As we all know, chef Eli Kulp of Fork, High Street on Market and the High Street Hospitality Group sustained serious injuries during the Amtrak derailment in May. After being rushed to surgery, it was announced that he'd suffered a spinal injury and that it would be a long road to recovery. Recent updates on the fundraising campaign page for Kulp reinforce this, explaining that the chef will remain in spinal rehab until the end of August, and enumerating the current out-of-pocket expenses his family is facing.
If you subscribe to the "there is no such thing as too much cheese," philosophy of life like we do here at Cheezbooz, then mark your calendars for Sunday Feb. 22 and Monday Feb. 23. Because those days will have two blissfully cheesy events with Maître Fromager Max McCalman.
On Feb. 22, from 6:30-9 pm at Di Bruno Bros. in the Italian Market, DiBruno Bros. owner (and certified cheese addict) Emilio Mignucci will be teaming up with McCalman to host 18 guests at a cheese tasting reception. Then, the following evening at 6 pm, you can find McCalman at Fork, where owner Ellen Yin is working with the cheese expert to serve up a three-course cheese dinner, followed by a 45-minute Cheese Master Class taught by McCalman, "Cheese Myths and the Inexact Science of Wine Pairing."
So Philadelphia, it seems, is having something of a moment.
There was the Bon Appetit piece on Reading Terminal Market. There was the New York Times naming Philly as one of the "52 Places To Go In 2015," and putting us third on the list behind Milan and Cuba–which means, yes, first in the United States.
Now, Travel + Leisure has just come out with their list of the best new restaurants in the world, and has given Philly a page, noting, "This unsung destination has blossomed into one of the U.S.'s most exciting restaurant cities—Portland East?—with a fierce indie spirit and world-class kitchen talent."
Nice, right? Local names given a specific shout-out include Serpico, Michael Solomonov (Zahav and FedNuts, sure, but more lovingly Abe Fisher and Dizengoff), and both Fork and High Street On Market which gets the closing line, reading, "The artisanal breads and the caraway-rye rigatoni with pastrami ragù are reasons alone to go to Philly."
So we're awesome is the point here. At least for today. But in the immortal words of the legendary Dirk Diggler, "We can always do better. I'm gonna keep trying if you guys keep trying. Let's keep rocking and rolling, man!"
Hell, yeah.

State Department Releases Latest FRUS Volume
The Department of State's Office of the Historian recently released its latest volume of the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS), "Foundations of Foreign Policy, 1973-1976."
This volume documents the intellectual foundations of the foreign policy of the second Richard Nixon administration and the Gerald Ford administration. Unlike other volumes in the Nixon/Ford subseries, the documentation seeks to illustrate the collective mindset of Nixon and Ford administration officials on foreign policy issues in the broadest sense. Rather than the formulation of individual foreign policy decisions or diplomatic exchanges, the compilation takes as its canvas the entire record of the second Nixon administration and the Ford administration's efforts to develop a grand strategy in foreign policymaking.
The 151 year-old FRUS series presents the official documentary historical record of major foreign policy decisions and significant diplomatic activity of the U.S. Government.
This volume was compiled and edited by Kristin L. Ahlberg and Alexander R. Wieland.
The volume and this press release are available on the Office of the Historian website at http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v38p1. For further information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

As a health-conscious dancer, your weekly grocery list likely includes go-to foods like low-fat yogurt and skim milk. But two new studies suggest that you may want to think twice before putting those items in your cart. Instead, consider reaching for full-fat versions of dairy products like milk, yogurt, butter and cream. It may seem contradictory, but recent research provides evidence for what's being called the "full-fat paradox." That is, people who eat more dairy fat are actually more likely to stay slimmer than those who eat less dairy fat.
One study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care looked at the relationship between central obesity, or belly fat, and dairy fat consumption in over 1,500 adult men in a 12-year period. Surprisingly, men whose diets included low-fat milk, no butter and little to no whipped cream had a higher risk of developing a bulging belly. The group who ate more butter and whipped cream and drank high-fat milk had a lower risk of central obesity.
Another study, in the European Journal of Nutrition, examined 16 previous studies about high-fat dairy foods, obesity and cardiometabolic disease. Researchers found no conclusive evidence that eating dairy fat or high-fat dairy foods puts you at a higher risk for obesity or cardiometabolic disease. In fact, they believe that high-fat dairy products may help a person reduce their risk of becoming overweight. Though the paradox is puzzling, the suggestions are promising—and tasty.
So how does the fat help you stay lean? Researchers are still determining the exact reasons. It's possible that because high-fat dairy foods make you feel fuller sooner, you're likely to eat less. Another possibility could be that bioactive substances in milk fat might change your metabolism, burning fat for energy instead of storing it up.
While only further research can determine how and why whole-fat dairy products play a role in regulating weight, this sure is promising food for thought before your next trip to the dairy aisle.

SPOILER ALERT COMIC BOOK POCAST WEEK OF JUNE 10 – AIRBOY 1, SECRET WARS, MIDNIGHTER 1 & More
A brief divergence this week from the usual Ain't It Cool News Spoiler Alert review crew Podcast. Without our excelsior producer, JD, Mark Miller (aka Ambush Bug) and I gab endlessly about THE COVENANT #1, GROOT #1, MIDNIGHTER #1, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: RENEW YOUR VOWS #1, BROKEN WORLD #1, OMEGA MEN #1, SECRET WAR #1, & AIRBOY #1! This week, we slathered on that sweet, sweet jack@$$ery extra thick free of charge!
DC Comics U? What are YOU?
For anyone who is a reporter of true prowess and magnitude, the news of DC Comics answer to refreshen their stale 3 year old sub-brand of "New 52″ with the effervescent "DC YOU," might have slipped past all the real news in your inbox. It's OK, this is all I have and I could merely raise the following vitriol. I know none of this really matters, since comics are only here to feed movies and this might as well be an org chart box naming exercise as much as a story firebrand, but again…this is all I am allowed to report on.Actually, the New 52 sub-brand might still be in play. I am not an organizational dynamics expert so I can't completely crack the lexicon of this new initiative. What's confusing is that not all books will be YOUthenized. Actually only 10 (right now) are being given a new YOU shampoo and restyle. However, a schedule of what looks like 52ish books makes me wonder if any of the outlier titles will remain New 52 brand. Again, I can tell this new You of kinda 52 is divided by story type, creator bucket and some other parsing to merely exacerbate the chief critique DC receives for being a splintered universe. Fix a problem by exacerbating it. No, that's silly? Right?
What this New You The new universe is an homage too has also died, making it a resonance brand, but not one with good resonance. New 52 was stilted by corporate interests after FINAL CRISIS folly and then strangled to death from Multiversity inconsequentiality. Young, dumb and love to punch is the experimentation du jour form marketing budget, while quality story is ignored and relegated to have asshats like guys who call themselves Optimous Docuhe cover them. Earth One, I'm sorry for me.
Those who know my desire to make the world rich while still being hippies…ish know that I don't balk at dollar aspirations or corporations fervor to get at more money through marketing. I can however gladly balk at my own kin in marketing who have woefully misjudged the comic audience. Don't think a sing songy rhyming has worked in wooing me since I was in the crib. Comic readers should be feared. The weapon we wield is really the operative word of my saber rattling last sentence…we're reader.
New 52, DC YOU, Morrison Magical Moo…call it what you want, none of it is an alluring or enticing factor to shift. I gave you a chance before gang and New 52 ultimately meant nothing, It was so permeable, a movie strategy shift made it waft away after three years.
Three years. Think about the past permanence and ongoing commitment to serial storytelling we had prior:1938-1961: The universe was like a metal sheet, but suffocating with too much reality of time passage to necessitate a schism of Earth 2
1961-1986: A warm, down blanket, keeping the universe contained and nicely percolating at a good timing temperature of pace for managed growth and serial gravitas.
1986 – 199ish: Here we debate the sort Zero Hour changes. I am pro so I add them. On the Rebootometer though it is a .5 of change.
1990's- 2011: Another good stretch, but let's be honest in saying permanence was gone. We received a few universes in this time that would quietly quit and then try to be a schizophrenic with a new direction and vaguely apologetic excuse for the shift.
2011 – 2015: New 52 says bonjour.
2015: New 52 bids adieu, but at least we now know it was just marketing spew.
Why do I keep collecting comics? I'm delusional and I believe my voice matters. The things I say appearing on page and in media months later is probably just zeitgeist, but since I can't be sure I persevere. I helped make comics what I want, but I realize now they need help with ones controlling the budget dollars. It's scary in the big machine of business, but it is traversable and can be reasoned with if you speak the right language.
New 52 was a bad idea, bred of desire to keep some tether to comic commitment in the face of a brand brigade wanting to take over. We all get that now. I learned, but I don't think the people steering the ship have. DC YOU JUST COMPLICATED AND FRACTURED THE LANDSCAPE MORE. YOUR COMPETITION IS DOUBLING DOWN ON SOLIDARITY OF STORY.
I don't recommend attacking competition directly, but I also don't ever turn down proven success either.
Let's try a new scheme and phrasing mantra, a less schizo model of representing the rise of heroes. Also, it rhymes so it must be good. Ready.
Avengers of Mobile Security…Uhhh…ARRRGRAGATE!!!!
A little business blog homage I conjured this week. The words are mine, the pictures are the work of my bosom buddy in the graphics group (name upon request).
- When dastardly devices of mobility carelessly connect to WiFi!
- When miscreant malware moles its way into network systems, lying in wait for a surreptitious subterranean attack!
- When corporate documents are uploaded unknowingly to open file share sites by daft digital denizens!
- When access to work productivity apps is assaulted by pitiful user experience and security sink holes!
Together, they harness IT best practices for data and device security, on a cloud more scalable and secure than Asgard (Note: encryption is used in many cases of mobile security versus Rainbow Bridges).
Tune-in true believers, MARVEL as the mobile avengers:
SMASH Hulking Headaches of Mobile Deployment
Launching tablets and smartphones good. Giving access to wifi, email, files, apps with no agree to mobile security bad. No encryption means data not safe. No management of what connects to who and where bad. EMM must not be slow, not expensive, and not burden to IT with cloud architecture.
Hammer Away at Content on the Fly
Ye lightening strikes of innovation rarely happen in the confines of darkened office halls. Nay, innovation will striketh over hill, mountain, or in shower. Giveth easy and secure content management to all of your kingdoms and business units. Mobile content management can oversee all sharing permissions, while imbuing security features down to the document level (including "cut & paste" trickery to move data into other apps).
Armor-Up in the Cloud
Adding new devices, operating systems, functionality, access controls and transaction level security requires new suits of armor for IT to deflect against system slowdowns and complete work stoppage (when content can't be accessed on devices of choice). There are many suits to choose from in mobile protection today; from a separate workspace for transitory employees in healthcare, full device management for a clean-sweep of all (or some) data, to microscopic ant-size locks on apps, transaction and data on the fly.
Smart money says to use a common heads up display with one Enterprise Mobility Management centrifuge for every piece of functionality you need as you infuse more mobile into business operations. Sitting on a cloud frame also means powering-up in minutes, as opposed to the wait for a hellicarrier full of equipment to deploy.
Shield Against Bad Apps & Malware
Mobile threat management is the newest shield slung directly at mobile malware's underbelly. Alerts activate proactive security policies to keep bad data quarantined and the device off the network. Next level defense is happening now with SDK's for in-house app development security, brining in developers to join the data captains of CISOs and IT enablement.
For those just joining the fray with a low arsenal of devices to support, mobile app management and a corporate app store are good training grounds in a controlled mobile state.
Slip into Intranets and Content Repositories Faster
No one wants to mash their way into the data they need for business, especially not when access to SharePoint, file shares and intranets can be made native in feel and function regardless of manufacturer or operating system.
With mobile gateways and secure web browsing, seamless moves can be made into almost any system where your employees find what they need quickly, quietly and with graceful ease.

ASK ROB RETURNS: The Rise and Fall of Superheroes
A college student looking for thesis quotes recently tapped into my comic knowledge and over opinionated word salad with these comic book conundrums:
- Do you believe the current influx of comic movies or superhero genre films is a fad or something that will continue for the unseeable future. If you think it will continue, do you believe the films continue to adapt over time, fitting the culture and evolving?
- Why do you think comic properties are suddenly becoming so popular and profitable?
Great Questions Little Fella,
The superhero has already become passé as we see from the struggle in the big two comic companies to support ongoing continuity of story and character. The Bible never reached issue 900, because as we saw from modern day Jesus, Superman, when a comic becomes that long in tooth the character must change. For the uninformed, Action comics 900 was bemoaned because Superman essentially said America could no longer be his chief interest when the world is so connected.
While logical, this does break the very foundation of a character who was inspired to give us hope in the face of a great oppressor. In a world where terror reigns supreme, and our greatest fears are the unexpected, a mind reader serves as amore soothing balm than some man in his underwear willy-nilly scouting the skies for danger.
Even the Marvel characters, the baby-boomer contribution to Americana's new titans, are feeling the buckle of age with their first reboot of time (after many undeclared ones over the years). What was once the hip and cool comic choice with; super-keen Spider-Man, groovy X-men and happening Hell's Kitchen characters, and awesome Avengers are no longer needed when Nerds are now cool, different is now the norm and the powerful are the object of envy as opposed to inspiration.
Superheroes are like zombies, vampires and every other blip on the radar of our existence, a coping mechanism. The cape arose as religion waned throughout the 20th century, to supplant our saviors and inspire the now watered-down term, "hope."
These super legends will wane, because if you transform too much, the metamorphosis births them anew regardless of branding.
As for delivery to the masses and a superhero summer movie schedule in the foreseeable future, what do you consider that time period to be? The marvel machine is scheduled into the 2020's. When the X-Wing flies into a portal and crashes eon Graymalkin lane. hell they could go into the 2030's. Then Warner Brothers needs to do their half-hearted competitive attempt at thwarting that revenue stream. They will throw at least a trilogy into the fray and given their slow dev times, those movies will chug past the teen years of this new millennium.
On question two, Superhero movies have taken over the cinema, simply because of technology. For years I have tried to make others see a comic book come alive as I did when I was four and bought my first Richie Rich. Panels, words, images flow seamlessly and scream alive in the minds of comic readers; those of us who also read books and see the world come alive.
As a being who lives in imagination more than Jackie Paper's friend Puff; words, images and movies are all the same experience for me. My mind is so jacked, I literally have a movie screen playing all day in my head. Some, actually many people, can not take the same figurative leaps of imbuing life into story. For the spoon-fed of this world, the stories we have read for years needed computer graphics for the telling. Look at early CG, like the 90s Fantastic Four movies, and tell me if it was at all believable (even in the context of the time). Then look at the Fox attempt a decade later, with better graphics and you tell me which is more immersive and plausible.
Fantasy is a hard aesthetic distance for many to cross, they keep it at arm's length because it can never be. For those individuals, superhero movies are new and finally of interest. They are a crutch into a genre that would have been impenetrable when the stories were first coming alive on the page.
Observations of a Verbose Voyeur: Happy or Desperate Hour
I love the smartphone. I am a writer, so that means I am also a voyeur who dissects the language of the human condition by almost creepy levels of staring. And then being a judgmental prick. The smartphone has gotten me 200% less yelled at and threatened as long as I observe with eyes slightly down.
My wife has been voraciously sick with Mexiflu acquired on our recent vacation to the Swiss alps. Just kidding…we went to Mexico. Anyway, to find good variety for dinner and to satiate the cravings of the sick, I am stuck waiting for take out at a tex mex happy hour.
But beyond that, it's desperation leaning upon liquored-up desperation. Two negatives ALWAYS equal a positive kids…no…not with people. That's a formula for simply a hot mess.
Desperate Hour's Most Dangerous Predator! Charlie Air Hustle
My target for dissection and further scrutiny in some piece later, is Charlie Air Hustle. This Air Jordan wearing Lathario of a personality as silky as his breathable shorts, is honed in on two YaYa sisters looking for their Stella. But they are white ladies and not that attractive or interesting – so Stella without the sex, and more money laundering.
I've seen Charlie's action before. He is a fascinating creature of side buzzed cut hair delicately placed wispy upon his lip.
First move is most fascinating. Facts that aren't facts, like Michael J Fox filming all of MASK before anyone realized he was too short to work with Cher. Wait. He wasn't even that clever. He said some shit about stereo equipment and smoky the fact he was a man and could speak was all that was necessary for these lonely vessels of recent divorce.
Next move – pics. Being tall as fuck, I could see. Now I can't unsee this tool with whip cream in his naval trailing off out of frame.
My food arrives, like a smarmy clockwork Air Hustle enters into his C zone (closing, get your head out of the gutter). He slides away the scumbag sundae pics to begin hostage negotiations. If these ladies can invest in his…whatever the hell…I couldn't follow and clearly I was the only one trying. It was something like Amway, but with more layers. One lady took out a check book, one passed…I know who I think the winner is, but I don't want to judge. Well, I will judge eventually, but not today.
Ladies, we men are simple. Charm. Intelligence. Attractiveness. Big big motivators for us. If you ever think that this guy is too good looking for the level of interest he's giving, and the little you two have in common, trust your gut. If you want to pay for love and attention, cool, but just skip the theatrics and start with a price.
CONVERGENCE #0 REVIEW: Finally Feeling the Fangeezer Love
Writers: Dan Jurgens & Tom King
Artist: Ethan VanSciver
Publisher: DC
Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche, Ain't It Cool News)
Thank you DC. I show my appreciation to creative teams constantly for melting the cockles of my heart, but I can't think of any time I was truly moved by the simple inception of a series from a publisher. For the impatient the plot is thankfully simple, Superman of Earth prime is in the hands of Brainiac. Brainiac is an urban kleptomaniac. He's also more addicted to puzzles than mental wards, and what a grand puzzle Superman's infinite deaths and infinite triumphs across time and quantum strings would be to unlock for a creature always seeing the most logical patterns as its purpose.
Like the New Gods and Apokolips are constructs capable of navigating the cytoplasmic bleed between universes (see GODHEAD in GREEN LANTERN), Brainiac plays the same tricks, but ups the ante against their Godly travel beams and hover chairs to add time into his malicious of city abduction: "What's the plan Brain?" "Not to just capture cities in a bottle, but to capture the zenith of all cities in all universes in…all…time…periods to examine what makes the idea of Superman so unyieldingly pervasive he is always spared the final fate before being born anew.
"Sounds Meta Optimous, didn't you bitch slap ULTRA comics and every other issue of MULTIVERSITY for such 4th wall faux pas?' Indeed, and CONVERGENCE made me realize that my disdain for the Morrison Meta versus Jurgens doesn't stem from too far of an aesthetic distance, but frankly one that is too close. I love story. I know real life never seems to allow the story world in. From mermaids to UFOs, most of the mystical in this world stems from myopia and booze. The meta here is not breaking my 4th wall that I know can't be, it's breaking the 4th wall for my favorite characters. Which makes sense since SUPERMAN not Rob Patey can and has done everything. It's a story about deconstruction, not a fucking pamphlet chiding me for seeing through the complete fucking deconstruction of heroics and then getting pissed at me for complaining the rebuild looks like the same shit from before. CONVERGENCE is apologizing in a sense for the New 52 forgetting to change for the sake of comics, instead of in fear response to Marvel studios.
MULTIVERSITY is ambitious, especially for one man. The scope of CONVERGENCE with 3D universe movement and 4D time travel would be career suicide for only writer. And I'm not talking the whole series; I mean Jurgens was wise to get King at his side for the extra pages sans any ads in just this issue.
So that's it, in glorious and intimately character rich, but also epic in scope storytelling. A compendium in the back shows where Brainiac the mainframe has been telling his green screen dummy terminal clients of cunning to swipe cities from, but most of us have seen the checklists already to suss out the timeframes of occupying the new universe of Pax Brainiac.
Now let's get meta ourselves for a second to see what could be next.It says the worlds are in a contest to see which survive, I buy it for the 3 as yet unannounced titles adding to the already announced Fanciful 49. I'll take it, and honestly no longer complain about a chunk of the shelf being prostituted to new media and parent company interest. The fight is futile, and as much as I want a DC Universe brimming with a ton of Elseworlds, I will satisfy myself with restitution over a satisfying end to my comic youth. It's infinitely healthier than petulantly pining because my desire can not bend the will of billion dollar companies. It's in part also really really delusional.
Part of my peace is from seeing Jurgens, THE writer of my youth, a man who could so subtly weave together wisps of continuity from tale-to-tale to reward the OCD, but never deliver references so obtuse that new readers would get a real nosebleed from the metaphorical cross-sell. This unique talent of Dan's has been wasted in the New 52 until now. You don't give a man who used to Check Mate great stories on a three tier Star Trek chess board one flat fucking checkerboard from CVS. And if you do erroneously put Dan on just one book, you make sure it is an exploration of every quintessential moment in DC history like CONVERGENCE.
CONVERGENCE is also the first book in ages truly for comic fans with cosmic consequence. We need stories ripping apart and past the linear. Comic reader imagination is more acute than the average bear who only sees comic movies. This curse to bend the boundaries of danger, has put us to a point where the stories of city, state and even nation are simply too myopic in scope to really affect us. We have seen our own cities under fire at this point, which means comics, to meet their thrill schill of brand, frankly need to raze fucking everything from the God particle flashing until the final Kelvin of entropy hits zero across all stars.
Before I bid adieu, I must take a moment of art awe. Beauty bleeds off every page from the grandiose all knowing Brainiac mainframe belittling a much oddly older looking Superman Prime (how do I know earth designate for taunt Superman, high collar and doll part articulation points is how I know), to the moments of sincere reaching out Superman delivers to an ever changing by comic epoch Vril Dox. Another part of the Van Sciver allure for me is that I believe he's the hardest working man drawing comics right now. Anyone who professes a desire to paint comic pictures for a living needs to hit a con and witness the exhaustive pace VS performs at to be granted A-list titles. It takes more than talent folks to turn a job into a career, dependability and desire can sometimes help balance a less deft hand's chances. I have stood afar more than once over the years on show floors watching Ethan multitask like a 12 year old who lost their Adderall, graciously greet an fan who walks up to the table and never relent from producing new pages or commissions. I stand at a distance because I swear a lot and his kids are usually with him. I'm not a stalker, just a guy who marvels at that which he can't do and will never ever taint kids if I can help it. The magic of youth, like the magic of comics seems to fade with each passing year as commercialization makes cynicism a core attribute.
I care about Jurgens (though he is ironically one of the last comic writers I have yet to personally kibitz with), I care about VS, I care about DC and I God dam right care about comics breaking the boundaries of convention as much as opening day blockbuster projections. CONVERGENCE is the first series in so long who also seems to give a shit about me. Thank you again Dan, truly.
It's Us Not the Media that is the Problem
The news isn't all bad today, it's merely all pervasive.
We choose to imbibe the streams of tragedy with each page we like, share or follow.
This world has always sucked we simply have more cameras to cover it, and more people we are willing to pay to dispense it.
It is our leisure time That remains the enemy of our true happiness above all else. An exponential monster of pleasure and pain that devours as it satiates our hunger for more of nothing.

BATGIRL 41 & ENDGAME 1: Spare the controversy, spoil the story
BATGIRL ENDGAME is like the lighter side backstory to DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Well to me at least. As Babs silently (nary a talky bubble in this issue, nor or are they needed), moves her way through the Joker Virus infected Gotham, to herd her Grinners as Rick Grimes does Walkers, my mind couldn't let go of a Mutant overrun Gotham from my youth that was protected and cherished by another young woman also of indomitable spirit, Carrie Kelly.
The lack of words in this issue leaves this artistic troglodyte at a loss for a lengthy review. The plot, as with most comics, is straightforward. Joker virus extras bleeding off of Snyder and Cappulo's soundstage in BATMAN are making their way off the little island that Satan built towards the wilds of Kane County and beyond. Thankfully, Babs is ready to use her New 52 giddy-up sticks to make the bridge go boom before Joker and Amazo viruses collide (drops the continuity mike)
Where you get your per minute entertainment value in ENDGAME (outside of giving a deep naval gaze into the penultimate pages of Snyder's ending omnibus Batrun) is basking in Bengal's ability to articulate grander and granular in a deft dance between panels. Also, as I mentioned earlier, fangeezers can see what Miller's work would have looked like with clean lines.
I don't know which of the three family bridges blew up (as identified in GATES OF GOTHAM) and I don't care. I don't know what's going to happen in the other side glance offerings yet to come in ENDGAME. I don't care about any of the things we usually bitch about, because I am already so blinded by the incoming flares of CONVERGENCE'S continuity supernova that I am eminently satisfied with solitary sub-universe seamless…hmmm…lets say geling.
Batman, Superman, Justice League, Dark, Young and Didio: The myriad of nation states that make up the DC super power have kept tight storytelling even if they were always slightly one step ahead of their respective partners over the past three year dance. Number ones appeared and appeared again, but they were merely accounting exercises more than story catalysts. Except for Batgirl.
Babs' recent reset to a Twitter tastic younger teen is honestly a bit more offensive than her truncating of Wheelchair time after the New 52 accordion scrunch. We didn't het a number one, nor an explanation on Babs' sudden selfie obsession when her Dad is thelittle spoon with Bane in the bowls of Blackgate. Change is good, but change is hard. I was fine walking away with this title with Ms. Simone, but I feel deeply for those Batgirl zealots who may have thought they were picking up the next issue of the media devolved Just from MULTIVERSITY. New art and new tone, should have been anointed a new number one without question and at least a drop of Omega Beam to explain why she started to age like Benjamin Button. Change, but for God's sake DC, show us how you came to the conclusion. You did it a bit in this issue, Batgirl finally used Twitter for a purpose to communicate with a school bus full of kids. She used social media to not only contain a plague, but also be a hero in the purest sense of the word.
Barbara Gordon is more than a gimmick. She earned her elevation beyond the pastiche light purple pastel that birthed her a generation ago. Smarts, sass, moxy and courage made her a hero, the events of the KILLING JOKE then made her an icon. She birthed the information age back when it took a knowledge of computers to use computers. She has never quit…and neither have her creators.
Time to back off Fangeezers, there's great shit going on here and if you don't like it, I really really believe your daughters will. I recently defended Albuquerque on Twitter for his decision to pull his BATGIRL 41 "KILLING JOKE" homage cover. I could care less about good taste, I simply hate bad business. BATGIRL is no longer ours, and that creepy creepy moment that fell Barbara and led to years of triumphant climbing back are also gone. New 52 time, Barbara's back was better after 3 months in the cave. The brunt of recovery was for the 3 weeks when Harold the hunchback moved in. Ohhhh those good ole' weeks. See what I mean, new Joker getting weird with new Babs…it's just weird. Buy a print oldie fans, I know I'll try. And buy BATGIRL ENDGAME. Enjoy the craftsmanship and then pay it forward so these kids are writing for us as we prepare to die in our moon retirement homes.
SUPERMAN EARTH ONE 3 REVIEW (or how I learned to stop worrying about universal continuity)
Writer: J. Michael Straczynski
Artist: Adrian Syaf
Publisher: DC
Reviewer: Optimous Douche (Rob Patey by birth and stuff)
For fast feasters who want the slugline before their lunchtime grab and quick gab store run, this quips for you:
"While the loss of Shane Davis for the more "grounded" (ZING) Syaf pencil of realism over hyper realism, it's an exact match of tonality for the plot of Straczynski's third foray into the hardbound full-arc world of Earth One.
About a year after the close of Volume 2 (comic time), Clark is still;
- Career setting with the shit hours and anemic salary of a cub reporte
- Juggling the jealousy of the twenty-something love triangle with Lois and himself in underarmor
- Desperately seeking to dull his Kryptonian awesome so humanity isn't a foreign species…
- The object of affliction for Team Luthor (now man and wife instead of traditional bro and sis). These were the good villains this time, the ones driving sense, reason and pragmatic world mechanics I need to make the entire landscape worth of abandoning my aesthetic distance. Their love is hawt, their genius total science-fiction bullshit plausible (only Neil Tyson would get assed up) and motivation for going after Supes appropriately new age sociopath induced. Shame we end the book with only one left alive. Pretty baller though it was the one I wanted for fun in Volume 4. After all the female of the species is more deadly than the male. Said Rudyard Kipling, lead singer of the one hit wonder group "Space." (little lesson how the class of 2030 will actually search engine cull answers with that joke).
New threats come with:
- Zod. Not a fan here. I will admit I am suffering from Wilfred Brimley levels of home delivery insulin for Zodabetes thanks to all the damn resets over the past decade. He's bad, he always will be bad, for fucks' sake why Zod why are you a boomerang. Outside of Terrence Stamp chewing the scenery in pleather parachute pants I have always been tepid to the oneness of him. JMS sweetens the well to deliver my #2 favorite rendition of this 2-D staple by making him an active participant in the E1 deliberate destruction of Krypton versus the standard natural disaster. Zod was in bed with Tyrel. Joe wrapped it in pretty prose, but given my girlish squeals towards other Zod can basically go fuck himself, glad he's gone too.
- World government cabal. Good call on taking a tip from New 52 Earth 2 on the inception of this pragmatic approach to governance with a populace that can cross borders literally by jumping. From the bible to Star Trek global unity will present itself when there is a sentient species different from us beyond skin color or proclivity towards hummus, weed, absinthe, communion wine or abstinence. A species gots to hate and Superman is a realistic target. Their use of the Luthors to devise a Superman stopper used the confrontation from volume one in well played comic continuity fashion (also Joe threw in some suggestive swinger ideas that were lady lady guy hawt). Only their acceptance of Zod when he offers a team-up made me lose respect. I really think he was an editorial force with the way the IQ points plummeted at the blind acceptance of an offer to side with a devil you don't know versus a clearly powerful but innocent fresh doe. Yeah, Supes trashed Metropolis in Vol 1, but he was also grabbing kittens from trees and other good deeds soon after.
- I like Lisa, I really do. Awesome Clark found the Pretty Woman who is more attractive and less grating than Julia Roberts in ever way. I can live with the slow burn Lois build. I totally dig Rumspringa, ask my parents about me taking the 90s to 'matriculate" college. I…swear I am not a prude. I am also not a complete romantic like Clark and I have had my heart properly weathered by the sharper sex. He and Lisa cross past the friend zone, a task made much easier when Lisa discovers Clark's work clothes. Sorry, I just can't imagine a world where I could sit there and hear my significant other blowing a guy for rent and not feel inadequate over I may not be tipping as much as he does.
Notice my ordering there? My narcissism always puts random orders in the control of what resonates and affects me most. I played slapsies above and bitch "slapsies" with my actual review of "grounded" in SUPERMAN, but faults with that series were editorial and timing – not execution. Editorial knew the end was nigh so "rock out with your cock out" trumped a planned out schedule. SUPERMAN EARTH ONE has all of those great elements of Clark exploring his feelings for Lois without the editorial dive bombs of, "Hey Joe, can you have Supes skip over to Max Lord's secret lair pick up Ted Cord's brain and then do a vertical lift up to the Tower for a very special bedtime story about how Sue Dibney was whacked because Dr. Light perpetrated a crime of unspeakable assault on the soul." All my words, not Joe's in any interviews we've done.
I meander because I know JMS cares about this craft, and really any fan of Superman has all they need with the concept of EARTH ONE: A-Listers running free. Quality is assured and if you have a modicum of fandom for the creators, the characters and/or faithful and clever refreshing of nostalgia any EARTH ONE title is a no brainer on a solitary read level. Light commitment so that the friend or co-worker who always goes, "wellll, I loved comics, but there's so many, I don't know where to start, my co-worker sits next to me and mumbles all day about mobile security and how his email box keeps flooding with poorly formatted emails every Tuesday at 4PM heralding marginal comic news for the next day…" Fine, parts of that are the poor data dude who sits near me, but any casual naysaying on commitment or confusion of continuity can be bludgeoned with EARTH ONES' thick binding. SUPERMAN like BATMAN and TEEN TITANS also pays no lip service to its universal counterparts, so grab a Bat, Cape or Titan and don't worry about missing any vital beats cause or cross sell performance objectives to feed larger KPIs.
Now let's talk about EARTH ONE and CONVERGENCE
If you didn't read MULTIVERSITY GUIDE BOOK go now. Convergence I believe will bring forth a world of 52 comics wherein the New 52 merely exists as the larger whole. EARTH ONE for the correlation challenged will be another sliver. Insert etc here for likewise on Capt. Carrot, tiny robot corpse toons, Batman Beyond and the Nazis triumphant universes.
We have all been led to believe a "sort of" lie in that the New 52's mentally handicapped heroes were supposed to be granted the closest parking spot as main continuity because they are what being reborn a hero is all about. I can now appreciate its existence as the guidebook describes it for heroes in their prime, but not beyond the definition of puberty. Sorry, but there are no fine lines between inexperience and incompetence. Awakening does not absolve being an asshole. Danger from within is sometimes more palpable than from galactic Giants. Also, get your upsells to trades, cartoons, movies and paying the salaries for unimaginative minds in WB Frog Tux's to gobble market demographic reporting out of my comic universe damn it.
I've known these "truths" for awhile now because I read a
Fuckton of comics and I work in marketing (The devil's second favorite profession behind my second career choice of lawyer). Your lexicons to this revelation have been laid before you. There has been a multi demographic play at multiple wallets since Batman Beyond told kids to come back, we have a world where BATMAN's back got better and Superman is not in an extended coma. Yay, some more revenue until Superman wakes up and the rest of the world thinks we don't know the definition of dead…kind of like a child…kind of like rest of 90s world sees comic books.
I don't hate the New 52, but it is an arid play at introducing super-heroics when held against the weightiness afforded Earth One titles because of instant arc gratification and being able to deliver whenever your artistic big guns damn well say it has reached perfection (and puny editors actually can cower in fear without loss of share holder value). SUPERMAN, BATMAN and TEEN TITANS are all true awakenings and we can grow with them in real time as I once did with Kevin Arnold on the Wonder Years. Earth One can pace slow burn because it is not the testing ground for the best selling monthly<Trade<Cartoon<TV Show<Movie Fodder formula or da cheddar as douche bags would call the ultimate goal of money. Ultron went from comic to movie fast, go look at sales charts of comics than my fellow fools of non-paid focus grouping to see why so much expedience up the revenue chain. Good businessmen, even businessmice always double down.
Finally, with CONVERGENCE and now Marvel awakening to the continuity conundrum of forever people, we are blatantly being told instead of absolute certainty of pivotal numbered issue consequence, "just go pick a fucking continuity and we'll fill it with titles based on eeny-meenie-miney-mo of gun shy retail preview picks based on zero information unless you buy into a value-add marketing program with the distributor (I'll write a separate post on that cardboard news-stand revenue tie to premium order placement and ultimate sales, let me know if you want to hear it).
Well, maybe Marvel will be safe since this is their first time letting the universe asshole completely prolapse before trying to shove it back in. The first repack is usually factory seal fresh like CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. It gets loser with each repack though and slips out more quickly and more often when abused. See how quickly we needed to have a CONVERGENCE tuck after the FLASHPOINT PROLAPSE. In
20 years Marvel too will just tell you to go read this new Earth 617 where X-Men now wheel chair race at the Xavier 55+ Community for Broke Ass Mutants.
Sorry for the rambling, but please see we are not only seeing story shifts we are seeing a dynamic sales shift affecting stories. The EARTH ONE in description in the guidebook is some nebulas shit about a newly forming earth that will cool with heroes who are new. In my mind this means they are amoebas waiting to become a multicellular organism…excuse me…a SUPER multicellular organism…or it's a world every time Superman evolves Vandal Savage has already evolved and merely urinates in the life pool and keeps it all FOREVS EVIL by issue after issue of drinking and then eviling with his golden weapon of PH level off-setting.
See folks, when I can write that sort of off putting mental imagery about a story vehicle I adore at 3:00 AM in the morning when I have a 7:00 AM with APAC and I am still ready to hit the story in a zombie caffeinated fugue state, we and the companies have taken the demand for universal cross continuity beyond reality. Kennedy woke up America from la-la-land and WATCHMEN was our book repository of decloaking the tropes with too much clever irony to back to being able to ever believe in golden age ideals. Let's remember simpler times in this new a la carte world before us instead of wishing for something we really can't ever have again and probably wouldn't want anyway. You know the shit would be polybagged with a cover where the artist can't draw feet.
