If you missed my first Con Report from this years' New York Comic Con follow this link here and then come back and read this second chapter in my trek! Day One ruined my feet; this is what happens when one dresses for style versus comfort. I applaud the Cosplay girls (and I guess some of the guys) who hit this thing in seven inch fuck me pumps. Though to be fair, they spend most of the day posturing and posing whereas I moved across the entire center between Artist Alley and the Main Floor to talk to as many creators as I could before the closing bell.
Given the fact my pinky toes were bleeding into my shoes (literally), I took a slightly more relaxed approach to this day. Spending a little more time with creators, banging out a scheduled interview, and actually sitting in on a panel.
First stop though was the main floor while I had some energy!
KILL SHAKESPEARE – I have a personal history with this title. As a theater major in college I grew to abhor the bard, so I have dickishly avoided all requests to review this book that is actually wildly successful and well praised. I asked the guys how they would sway a naysayer like myself to imbibe the three volumes already available, they kindly said, "it's an awesome action adventure if you like books like FABLES. If you hate the bard, look at your 8th grade teacher and shake you your fist at them for making you that way." I retorted I'll bite my thumb in protest or throw a cabbage. Nerd laughter ensues. Pictured are creators Anthony Del Col & Conor McCreery.
Ryan Browne – Ryan was signing some MANHATTAN PROJECTS issues and hocking his new title GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS from Image. This time around Ryan is taking on writing and art duties to tell the tale of super powered narcissist who are charged with policing barn storming farmers who keep trying to launch themselves into now commoditized space. There's also talking bears and other crazy shit. Originally a Web comic, this hard cover collects the entire series with some surprise guest artists thrown in for good measure. If you're too cheap to buy the book you can read it online.
David Schulner – Author of CLONE from Image about a protagonist who is part of a government cloning conspiracy. With eleven issues under its belt, the book was just picked up by NBC for a series with David and Robert Kirkman at the helm.
Monty Nero – DEATH SENTENCE is Monty's brainchild from Titan Comics. The book explores a world where an AIDS like virus gives you superpowers for 6 months before you shuffle off your mortal coil. What would you do with that precious time and who would try to stop your before your 6 months are up?
Smoke, 2 Tanqueray & Tonics break so shit can get real down in artist alley where no PR wonks are around to keep things moving.
Ben Templesmith – I loved Templesmith's work on TEN GRAND, but he's no longer on that anymore. A big to-do amongst con chatter by the way. Here's Ben doing some great technique with blood work on the page for a commission. He basically spits it through a straw for a true splatter effect. Get a commission, get some Ben DNA. I also like this picture because I feel like I genuinely made him laugh and spit some blood on the table.
Peter Tomasi – Peter worked his career in reverse from editor to writer and frankly I couldn't be happier. Damian Wayne basically lived in two books in the New 52, BATMAN INC and BATMAN & ROBIN. All along though, BATMAN & ROBIN stood shoulders above for the heart and trueness of a little boy fighting against his gruesome nurture. I tried to get Peter to spill the beans on when the BATMAN & INSERT SOMEONE ELSE HERE would be ending and he said soon. When I asked him if it would be Carrie Kelly, he laughed at me and mimed zipping his lips. You won today Tomasi.
BAD KARMA – Kickstarter done good. This 200 page hardcover is the culmination of four creators bringing together their ideas in one beautifully rendered trade. The guys were mum on the overall plot, but I did peruse some of the art and it is beautiful. Pictured are Alex Grecian, Jeremy Haun, B. Clay Moore, and Seth Peck.
J. Michael Straczynski Panel – My devotion to JMS stories is no secret. We've done about 6 interviews together and I always pester him personally when I know a new book is on the way. Here's the thing though, instead of ignoring me, he actually responds. Granted if it's a book like EARTH 1 we need to vet things through proper PR channels, but when it comes to creator owned stuff like JOE'S COMICS, the man is a machine of deep and honest responses to even my most ridiculous of questions.
I abhor panels and I hate lines even more. Thankfully they put JMS in a big enough hall there was no line and secondly once the door shut, this was a conversation not some PT Barnum like spectacle like the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY screening (and screaming happening next door).
As much as I've "hung" with Joe and read his work, I realize I am but balls deep in one of Joe's many genres. When he finally opened up the floor for questions the Babylon 5 flood gates opened wide, along with a shit ton of movie questions. There was also some Dutch kid that kept trying to make him eat cookies. I would say I wish I were tripping if it I didn't feel like I already was. Joe ended the, hell let's call it what it is, the discussion, with some very uplifting words about following one's dreams and handing out copies of the newest Joe's Comics title, PROTECTORS INC #1.
With the panel over and an hour to kill before my Scott Snyder interview soon…
Back to Artists' Alley I go!
Glen Brunswick – I love talking to creators who offer me a copy of a their book and my quote is already on the cover. To be fair though, I only read issue 1 of Brunswick's NON HUMANS. We still had a good laugh though. I rectified my 1/5 review and gave the full TPB the review treatment last week. I love the concept of dolls coming to life spurred by humanity's imagination so I was happy to see the tale come to a close. In addition to volume 2 of NON HUMANS coming out in April, Glen also recently wrote REALITY CHECK, the story of a creator's super hero coming to life and not having a freaking clue what to do.
Daniel Corey – Author of MORIARTY from Image was selling the recently dropped trade. In Corey's world, Moriarty wins at the falls and must find meaning without his greatest nemesis. For anyone who read the first two volumes and enjoyed them, help Daniel out by contributing to the volume 3 Kickstarter campaign.
Peter David – I simply love this man, he hits all the East coast cons and hasn't seemed to age a day in the 7 years I've been pestering him for Ain't It Cool (An even more remarkable feat at this con giving the recent stroke nonsense. Personally, I don't buy it, he was Peter through and through) The coolest thing about Peter is that he talks all original properties at his table despite having written one of the best X-titles of all time, X-FACTOR. At this show Peter was all about SIR APROPOS OF NOTHING, the tale of an amoral knight thrust into destiny despite his best efforts to simply make a galleon. IDW has released the graphic novel version or you can read some of those non picture books to learn more about this less than chivalrous knight.
James Tynion IV – It would almost be easier to list what isn't Scott Snyder's protégé doing right now for DC? Starting as a back-up writer for one of the best runs DETECTIVE Comics has ever seen, he has now moved into the big chair in RED HOOD & THE OUTLAWS and the recently announced BATMAN ETERNAL (for more on B.E. read my interview with Scott Snyder). In Artist Alley though, the guys like to talk pet projects; James' is a web series called THE EIGHTH SEAL where politics is infested by things that go bump in the night.
Ironically I now had to run across the building (make that hobble) for my 3:15 with Tynion's Obi-Wan, Scott Snyder. I'm not retyping the full interview, just go here to read it.
I've been to enough cons now to know when the shift times flip. After my interview with Scott I knew I had an hour to kill before there would be new folks to talk to in Artist Alley. I hunkered down in the press room with my cohorts Ambush Bug and Matt Adler to plan the evening's shenanigans.
Drunk, I'm now drunk. Fuck you, Ambush Bug. And fuck you Matt Adler for laughing at the lushes. My feet feeling fine at this point I stumble to artist alley in hopes of some last few coherent conversations. All of you have my deepest apologies from this point forward.
Ed Brisson – While best known for his new Image book called SHELTERED, a tale of the pre post apocalypse gone wrong, Brisson was also at the con showing off some of his pre-discovery titles like MURDER BOOK and COMEBACK.
Brian Clevinger – ATOMIC ROBO is the name of the book and it is already 8 volumes strong. I know a ton of people who are fans of this little indie that could which is an amalgam of every 80s adventure you could imagine all wrapped into…a robot, so this is shot is for you folks.
UNMASKED – Mike Sarro and John Broglia. Another Kickstarter team done good. UNMASKED is about a young journalist going around unmasking new heroes who have no problem with killing. She does it all in hopes for a return to the true golden age of heroes. Get volume 1 now from Arch Enemy Entertainment before volume 2 launches.
Joe Harris – Last, but certainly not least Joe Harris showed off his Image series GREAT PACIFIC, his IDW X-FILES project and GHOST PROJECT from Oni Press. GHOST PROJECT was intriguing not only for the fact it is being courted for TV, but also it's just a cool concept about weaponized supernatural beings built by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Flash-forward to today and the cadre is unleashed on the world by a few bumbling thieves.
And with that the closing bell rang and I hobbled back to my hotel to recharge for an evening of parties and glad-handing. NY Comic Con 2013 I thank you for an experience I will never forget.
BATMAN & RED ROBIN 19 REVIEW – Game of Clones
Writer: Peter Tomasi
Artist: Patrick Gleason
Publisher: DC
Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche – Ain't It Cool News)
Tomasi is a tits writer, Gleason's magic stick is his pencil; whatever I say from here forward is ABSOLUTELY no reflection on the creators of this book. That is of course unless it was their idea to give us "just the tip" of "jazz hands" Carrie Kelly. In case you're reading this review for the advertised WTF moment, I'll tell you right now: Carrie's not Robin, she's not even close to becoming Robin. Harper Rowe was more in the running a few months ago. Sadly the real WTF moment was a nary a whisper on anyone's list as Bruce looks to resurrect Damian sans a Lazarus Pit.
First, I feel the need to educate the young bucks and buckettes of comicdom. Carrie Kelly was a young High School student from the future. The future as Frank Miller saw it in 1986 when he looked 25 years ahead to create his masterpiece the DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. While I find his modern work to be shit incarnate, back then Miller was a forward looking genius and in hindsight a sage prophet. I can't even begin to, so I won't even try, to set the mood of DKR. If we just focus on Carrie though, she's a girl who idolized the then retired Bats. She comes from a home of not abusive parents, but certainly anesthetized by pot, pills, and the electric allure of 24 hour television. They bitch about the state of the world and how to fix it, but never put plan into action. Remember gang, in 1986 no one knew what Gen X and Y would be like as parents 25 years later. I think Miller hit the nail on the fucking head, even though he missed the part about posting inactive action on message boards. Carrie, not content to just be a passive observer in life, dons a Robin costume (most likely purchased online) and helps to fix the problems her bleary eyed parents simply bitch about.
I was really excited to see this sage satire reflected once again on the pages of BATMAN & RED ROBIN given we are actually in the timeframe that DKR took place. After all, the rewrites would be minimal since Miller did all the heavy lifting. Nope…this Carrie Kelly is a musical theater major that Damian was taking acting classes with. I'll let that sink in a minute…
These book-end moments would have been fantastic, because again Tomasi is tits in my opinion, if it was anyone but Carrie Kelly. These sections especially resonated with me because I am the 1% of straight men in America with an MFA in theater, and chooses to watch PBS broadcasts of Les Mis on Sundays as opposed to Footballs. Carrie is a saucy and fun young adult, she really is. She also has a caring heart for Damian, which leads her to Wayne manor to find out why this young talent stopped taking lessons…and to get payment of course. She is a good character, just not THE Carrie Kelly.
As for the rest of the issue I have nary a bad word for it. BATMAN is becoming unhinged; his grief over the loss of Damian (and the rest of the family) is wearing his soul incredibly thin. In a desperate effort to right Talia's wrongs, Bruce actually finds a way to abduct FRANKENSTEIN to learn what made the monster come back to life. FRANKENSTEIN and his S.H.A.D.E. team are DC's answer to the HELLBOY crew and sits as one of the most underrated titles of the New 52. Every issue has been amazing in weirdness and a touching exploration that the human soul does in fact exists within monsters. Sorry, back to BATMAN & RED ROBIN. So once Bruce deciphers where Frankenstein's lab is located he flies a bound Frank to his Daddy's lab and starts the dissecting.
RED ROBIN comes into the fray because of a desperate plea from Alfred. Great continuity here as Tim laments any contact with Bruce based on the events of "Death of the Family" and even better follow-through once the two finally come face-to-face-to-Frank's dismembered head.
I loved this issue, I really did. I'm OK with an unhinged Bruce. It shows a level of humanity I wish we saw more of twenty-five years ago when Jason bit the big one. Gleason does amazing work playing the lighter fare of Carrie's adventure, juxtaposed against the dark moments as Bruce tries to find the spark of immortality. I just have a lot of wishes after reading this. I wish this was old Carrie, not a New 52 Carrie. I wish I had seen moments with Damian taking acting lessons instead of it being a Ret-Con allude. I guess I wish I was in an editorial position at DC, which will never happen. So, if we take solely what is, this was a damn fine issue, just not the issue I would have written.
BATMAN & ROBIN ANNUAL 1 REVIEW – Rise of The Cute Crusader
Writer: Peter Tomasi
Artist: Ardian Syaf
Publisher: DC
Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche – Ain't It Cool News)
Here's a novel idea, "Let's make comics fun again." Don't get me wrong, I love the facial puppetry and emotional turmoil embedded in Death of the Family. My Gen X cynical sensibilities are also all about the deconstruction of the superhero mythos. I like my comics dark, but even I sometimes require a brief respite from doom and gloom to renew my faith that the world is not just an exercise towards entropy and that life is something to revel in, not just get through.
BATMAN & ROBIN ANNUAL 1 has no dissent amongst the bat-clan, there are no heady moments of distrust towards Bruce, nor silver platters dripping with blood. Whether this is canon or not, (and I do have questions in light of Death of the Family), I don't really care. Because when a comic takes my favorite Robin and infuses it with a little John Hughes Home Alone action, the result is soul-lifting comic gold.
Damian Wayne won me over day one. His petulance, emotional baggage and haughty attitude made him a damaged youth you couldn't help but love. When he came on the scene, Daddy was finding his way back home from his seeming one way ticket to nowhere at the end of FINAL CRISIS. Damian became Dick's problem, and for a year or so Damian tested Dick's patience and decisions at every turn. Any character becomes dull without growth, Snyder did a bang up job in DETECTIVE by making the wall of aggression between the two Robin's slowly erode and form some semblance of respect and dare I say love. The dynamic between the two was so delicious; I'm on record in quite a few reviews requesting DC never bring Bruce back. Dick and Alfred couldn't rear the young lad all the way though, Damian's arrogance would only truly allow for Bruce to guide and instruct him. Especially since Bruce wasn't a living being, merely a specter of myth and legend as told by Talia and…well…the world.
When Bruce did come back, I was worried that he would put the young lad's head through plate glass after one well misplaced "tt" of annoyance. Especially since the moments before the DC Reboot, Morrison had portrayed Batman at his darkest. It looked as though Father would shun his responsibilities in favor of a life in the literal and emotional shadows. Damian would have no hope of ever going beyond his surly and homicidal ways.
The New 52 changed everything though, and one of the greatest changes was a Bruce Wayne ready to be Batman and a Father. Wisely, writers didn't have Damian just jump in Bruce's lap and snuggle. Their maturation process together has been long and slow as each learns their role in a new family dynamic. Bruce has worked diligently to wipe away the killing machine to make Damian a true purveyor of justice and an actual 10 year old boy — very akin to the life of Dick Grayson in the silver age; Robin by night, normal kid by day.
BATMAN & ROBIN ANNUAL 1 is the perfect culmination of this Father/Son evolution. Of course a kid that runs around fighting crime will never be "normal." But between Bruce's love and patience, additions of four legged bat-friends Titus the dog and Bat-Cow (oh sweet sweet Bat-Cow), and a fair amount of work on Alfred's part, Damian has now become what I will Grandfatherly call a feisty little scamp. His ability to go from fierce to adorable in one mere panel makes him simply one of the most unique and endearing characters in comics. Especially to Fangeezers like me who stand on the precipice of procreation.
So anyway Home Alone. In a clever turn of selfish altruism, Damian concocts a scheme to get Alfred and Bruce out of the country – and it actually works. Once Bruce and Alfred are following clues across Europe with Damon green screening himself one step ahead of them updates, we finally get to meet Bat-Boy, Bat-Brat…oh hell with it…Bat-Mite!
The new Cute Crusader starts to hits the street of Gotham in pursuit of a gas eating monster and his ultimate master. Honestly this isn't what stuck with me. What I remember are the moments of Titus as acting Alfred confidant. Damian's pint-sized frame harnessing the horsepower of the Bat-Mobile. The sheer joy in seeing a young man unfettered from the constant lessons that come with any Father and Son…engaging in anything.
Bruce's story also pulls at the heartstrings when we discover Damian's mystery is a step-by-step journey chronicling the courtship of his Grandparents. Alfred's no slouch here either as he abandons the chase in pursuit of a little thespian time with some ole' mates at The New Globe.
Morrison may have spawned this relationship, but Tomasi is the right writer for now. Morrison is a master for hooking fans with his trippy ideas, but eventually his weirdness overshadows his characters. Tomasi knows humanity, not trip above it. This isn't a judgment on either man, just a fact. Also, Syaf does an amazing job with this book, particularly Titus and European locales. Both were equally majestic. This story deserved nothing less.

A King, a bride, a prodigal son and a silver domed serving platter seeping with blood: This isn't a Don Mclean song; it's the latest happenings in the Joker's reign of terror against the Bat-Clan. "Death of the Family" is the panacea of how events should be run, with the sum being greater than the whole of the parts while not forcing readers into imbibing every mother-loving book to understand what the hell is going on. Synergy has also been the mantra of this series. Each book has kept chronology straight and truly built off the last and this week's books are the absolute proof in the proverbial pudding.
Now, since I'm a completest I'm reading every tale, even the ever so tangential DETECTIVE, but this is my compulsion at work, not a mandate from DC. Every character has their beef with the Joker, and with only a few weeks left we now stand at the precipice of his grand plan's fruition.
Before we pontificate, let's SEE what these penultimate series of books have to tell.
Snyder delivers the most esoteric of this week's offerings, with the motivations of the Joker still only being understood by him and him alone. He's blathered abo;ut breaking up the family for issues now, so Bats could reach his full potential, but the means to accomplish this end seem haphazard at best. However, when dealing with a psycopath it's probably best not to understand. When last we saw Bats he was on his upward climb into the mouth of madness that is Arkham Asylum. Now Bats is cowl-deep in the crazies following a maze of gore that lead to his throne. Yes, the King has returned and his court consists of Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler and of course the Jester himself. Why Joker is anointing Batman remains unknown, the joy in this issue remains firmly steeped in Joker's twisted sense of humor. Endomorphic inmates dressed as the JUSTICE LEAGUE, flaming horse torpedoes, and a double cross on his accomplices are what keep the pages turning. The issue ends as all will this week, Joker gently lifting the lid on a silver domed serving platter.
Gleason still wins the award for creepiest representation of the Joker's rotting Halloween mask. It's attached, but not really. It's intact, but not really. It's creepier than Poltergeist's Carol Ann in a movie with the two chicks from The Shining, really. While I'm still partial to Joker's macabre puppetry with his flesh mask in last issue, Gleason does a great job of still making this the face of fear. Likewise Tomasi hits ever psychological chord expertly to make Damian believe he is in a mano-a-kido against dear old Dad in a fight to the death. Obviously it's not, but Damian's belief rips off his emotional scabs to reveal an epiphany that not all "bad" guys should be killed. As with BATMAN, the last page is the Joker serving Robin…something under a silver domed serving platter.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate an unraveling of the mind. No, not Joker's, that ball of yarn has already been undone. Barbara's sanity is what's at stake in issue 16 as she becomes the wedded wife of Mr. J. Why is the Joker suddenly interested in betrothing BATGIRL, well, we're still not sure. Again, it has to do with tearing the Bat-Clan asunder, but it's still inconceivable "how" Joker's scheme will all come together. Benes balances beauty with horror in this issue, giving us one of the best rendered Barbara's we've seen. I'll also say there are a ton of other artists on this book, but not once was the shift jarring or out of place. Each artist hand-off was so perfectly timed with the movement of the plot chapters; I honestly thought the changes were merely Benes making stylistic shifts for mood. This issue also answers the age old question about how long Barbara was Oracle (or merely wheelie-bound) in the New 52. The answer, about a year. Simone delivers her final piece of goodness in redeeming James Gordon Jr. (sort of). Since Snyder took Jimmy J on in DETECTIVE, he has become one of my favorite new Bat villains. And clearly one of the Joker's favorites as well. This issue, as with all others this week, ends with the Joker revealing something to Barbara under a silver domed serving platter.
What's Next?
All right, now let's speculate. The serving platter at the end of each issue this week is a pretty good indicator that Alfred is what's for dinner. I find this to be too easy and convenient. I still don't believe we are to take the "death" in "Death of the Family" literally. It's too easy, and Snyder has already alluded to the fact Joker wants BATMAN separated from the family, but not necessarily shuffling off any of their mortal coils to achieve this end. Also, to kill Alfred would do anything BUT tear the family apart. Let's be honest, they would band together to pound the Joker into white jelly if he touched one combed over hair on Alfred's head.
Basically, we still don't know Jack…or Joker.

"This week on Yellow Lantern's Cribs, we tear into the back fat of homicidal homonym Kryb. She's got a whole sack of nipples and can interspecies lactate, that's why all the Green Lantern babies are getting up inside this Kryb!" Ever since Kryb was introduced during the Sinestro Corps War, she has been a nightmarish favorite of mine in the same way I revere and at the same time fear Carol Anne's clown from the movie "Poltergeist."
Tomasi wasted no time imbedding readers in dark undertones right from outset by opening the issue with Kryb's line of razor sharp teeth and nipple-backed baby cage. With each panel of the hunt for Kryb and the botched diplomatic mission to the Star Sapphire home world in this issue, the war drum of Blackest Night beats louder. I'm never one to promote or validate crossovers, especially when they simply serve to sell more books. In this case, though, I will say without hesitation, if you are not reading GREEN LANTERN CORPS you are not only missing out on an amazing reading experience, but also critical story elements to the entire Blackest Night war of light.
In my opinion, the Guardians of the Galaxy have always been more concerned about controlling the universe than serving as malevolent protectors. This belief has been flirted with in past issues of GREEN LANTERN, but always pulled back at the last minute with a very special "awwww aren't they cute and blue" moment to show that their deeds are truly altruistic. Well, no more. As the Guardians seek allies to thwart the onslaught of the Red and Yellow ring wielders they seek out their sisters in Guardianship, the pink ring wearers of love, the Zamorans. There were so many golden moments to this diplomatic mission gone awry I don't want to ruin the surprise. Suffice to say, Guy Gardner acts perfectly in character when confronted with a planet of interstellar babes and Ion serves not only as muscle should the shit hit the fan, but also to drive home the point that the universe needs love to survive as much as unrelenting willpower.
If any two titles deserve to be called a crossover it would GREEN LANTERN and GREEN LANTERN CORPS right now and why they aren't being officially dubbed as such boggles my mind. This tightness of storytelling is what I'm still waiting to see in amidst the FINAL CRISIS hullabaloo. I won't pretend to know how stories are developed are cross pollinated across titles, but the harmony and synchronization between GREEN LANTERN and GREEN LANTERN CORPS is making me believe that Johns and Tomasi are sharing a work space and interchangeable creative centers of the brain.
In short (I know, too late), if you enjoy GREEN LANTERN and want to experience the full impact of Blackest Night – buy…this…book!
BATMAN & ROBIN #0 – The Cutest Lil' Psychopath on Earth
Writer: Pete Tomasi
Artist: Pat Gleason
Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche – Ain't It Cool News)
When a character is birthed from a matrix, then seconds later forced to swim in a Lazarus Pool filled with his wet nurse's spilled blood for insolence, that's a special young man who I want to know more about.
Fortunately I already do, Damian Wayne was a much-needed breath of fresh air to the BATMAN mythos. Tim Drake was ready to move on. Another "ward" would be trite at this point. A true son of Wayne was ready to come forward and making his Mother the world's greatest assassin who lives on a completely 180 degree ideological wavelength from Bats has created the most dysfunctional and engrossing nuclear family in entertainment.
But to truly understand Damian, I needed to see more of Miss Talia's relationship to her son outside of her recent assassination attempts in BATMAN INC. We could all guess at the expected moments, brought forth in action packed glory as Talia and Damian battle year-after-year from his toddlerhood till tweens.
The date of the battle that matters though is always on Damian's birthday. The prize for winning? Talia finally spills the beans on who Damian can call for a transplant donor if a ninja zealot punctures his kidney.
Not only where these training days interesting and actually…endearing and informative…Tomasi also remembered the fundamental rule of Damian – never EVER forget he' still a kid. From my favorite shot of the year (Bat Cow) to this issue where Damian finds his Father's cowl in Mom's hope chest and plays dress up, his sweetness is never that of a normal child's. There's a certainty to his actions that come with an affluent background and even with big doe preschooler eyes, that arrogance and certainty of rightness should be forever omnipresent.
And it was, right up until the last page when Damian meets the kidnapped Bats and makes a height joke while Dad is being held to the ground by henchmen.
BATMAN & ROBIN #0 is one of those truly necessary prequels and promises great things for issue 13 next month.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #0 – Gaggle of Guy Gardner Goodness
Green Lantern # 0
Writer: Peter Tomasi
Artist: Fernando Pasarin
Publisher: DC
Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche – Ain't It Cool News)
Tomasi and Pasarin created a wonderful book as we learn about the early days of the great Guy Gardner. It's really good, Tomasi hits all of the heart strings about Guy being the black sheep of his multi-generational police household in Baltimore. Everything was right…well…except a couple things.
None of my gripes about GREEN LANTERN CORPS have a thing to do with creators of this book – these boys deserve blowjobs and ice cream for this issue and the entire past year. They have deepened the insanity of the Guardians, while keeping the hearth fires burning at home with deep introspections into both Guy Gardner and John Stewart. The recent arc, where once again John is placed in an impossible situation and forced to kill was some of the best GREEN LANTERN writing to date. Given Liefeld's rant about editorial, I'll admit there are a few messes in the DC verse. GREEN LANTERN and all it's titles have run with precession of a Swiss Watch, which is a direct reflection of an editor running the entire property like a show runner would in Hollywood.
My problem is once again (wahh wahh – Optimous Bitch Fest) this five years before nonsense that the New 52 keeps harkening back to. It's like looking at a piece of Swiss cheese, from far away the holes in some brands become indiscernible, but if you put the fucking thing up to my face, the holes become gaping and one can see right through.
GREEN LANTERN was one of the titles for us old foggies. It remained seemingly unscathed by FLASHPOINT, always just sort of being. True fans, truly didn't care. When you place a story exactly five years ago though, while just following up from an arc built upon 20+ years of friendship, the math starts to become fuzzier than my Grandma's vision without pot.
Perhaps my problem lies in the fact so much of the story took place five years before. Tomasi was forced by page count to make Guy's transition from shamed cop to GREEN LANTERN happen faster than getting propositioned by a hooker in Vegas (Seriously, you walk off the plane and they're on you). It was a great scene as guy is rushing his wounded Brother and his slain partner to the hospital after a shootout with gang lords; so great in fact I wanted another three pages of it.
Again, this book is simply one wonderful moment after another, I simply want mooooooorrrrrreeeeee.

Critical Issues for Successful Immunotherapy in Alzheimer's Disease: Development of Biomarkers and Methods for Early Detection and Intervention
Abstract:Over the last 10 years, promising data has emerged from both animal and human studies that both active immunization with amyloid-β (Aβ) as well as passive immunization with anti-Aβ antibodies offer promise as therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Data from animal models suggests that antibodies to Aβ through several mechanisms can decrease Aβ deposition, decrease Aβ -associated damage such as dystrophic neurite formation, and improve behavioral performance. Data from human studies suggests that active immunization can result in plaque clearance and that passive immunotherapy might result in slowing of cognitive decline. Despite this, a recent analysis from a phase I trial that involved active immunization with Aβ42, while not powered to determine efficacy, suggested no large effect of active immunization despite the fact that plaque clearance was very prominent in some subjects. An important issue to consider is when active or passive immunization targeting Aβ has the chance to be most effective. Clinico-pathological and biomarker studies have shown that in terms of the time course of AD, Aβ deposition probably begins about 10-15 years prior to symptom onset (preclinical AD) and that tau aggregation in tangles and in neurites does not begin to accelerate and build up in larger amounts in the neocortex until just prior to symptom onset. By the time the earliest clinical signs of AD emerge, Aβ deposition may be close to reaching its peak and tangle formation and neuronal cell loss is substantial though still not at its maximal extent. Since immunization targeting Aβ does not appear to have major effects on tangle pathology, for immunization to have the most chance for success, performing clinical trials in individuals who are cognitively only very mildly impaired or even in those with preclinical AD would likely offer a much better chance for success. Current work with AD biomarkers suggests that such individuals can now be identified and it seems likely that targeting this population with immunization strategies targeting Aβ would offer the best chance of success.

Not talked about on the air on NFL Today
1. Jahvid Best -- There were reports this week that he was advised to shut it down for the year. Both he and his agent denied them and asked the Lions where they came from. Best may play next week, if not then the Lions have a bye. He should play after the bye.
2. Christian Ponder -- Leslie Frazier told me he made the change at QB because he believed they needed a spark and Ponder gave them a better chance to win than McNabb. The Vikings believe Ponder's mobility would lead to less sacks than McNabb. He also is more accurate than McNabb which should help move the chains to get more first downs. When I watched him on tape I thought he did a good job of recognizing the blitz and getting the ball out quick to the correct receiver.
3. Tim Tebow -- Denver told me they should have played him more in the preseason. I watched every throw he has made this year. He still needs to improve on his ability to react to the defense. He showed a lot of improvement in a number of areas. His accuracy, especially deep, had improved; his pocket poise was better. Also he looked quicker and faster than in college. Still, the best part of his game is his ability to scramble and make plays running and throwing the ball.

4. John Beck -- I talked to Beck and when I asked him if Mike Shanahan had assured him he would be the QB for the rest of the season he said no. He said Shanahan told him that he believed in him, still believes in him and he was capable of being a starting QB in the NFL, so it was his time to show he can do it. I asked Beck if he was going to play cautious considering that Grossman was benched because of too many turnovers -- Beck said no. He said a QB has to take risks, calculated risks based upon the situation and personnel in the game. Mike Shanahan rated John Beck a high first-round pick when he came out of college and had him rated over any QB the Redskins could have taken when they drafted this year. QBs available when they drafted were; Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton -- also they passed on trading for Kevin Kolb because they thought Beck was better.
5. Carson Palmer Trade -- The Raiders right now are missing their first four picks for next year, but as they were making the Palmer trade they factored in picking up 3rd and 4th round compensatory picks for the loss of free agents Robert Gallery, Zack Miller and Nmadi Asomugha.
Thoughts from today's games:
1. Houston -- They rose to the occasion to beat Tennessee 41-7 to take the lead in the AFC South. The unsung part of this team is the offensive line. This group has played well all year. The Texans wanted to run the ball and throw on the inside of the Tennessee defense. They had success in both areas. On the defensive side of the ball, their first two draft choices continued to play well. Brooks Reed (2nd round) who replaced Mario Williams, in his second start produced 4 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 QB hurry. First-rounder J.J. Watt had 3 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 QB hurry. It is clear Houston is the class of the division and with the possibility of getting Andre Johnson back they have a chance to get a streak going. In fact, in their last 9 games they only play 3 teams with a winning record: Cincinnati (A), Tampa Bay (A) and Atlanta (H).
2. Denver -- I was disappointed in how Tebow played. I thought he was nervous. His fundamentals were bad. He was sacked 7 times. I will be interested when I watch the tape of the game to see how many of those sacks were his fault. One of the areas he needs to improve upon was reading the defense and reacting to it. You can't tell much from television, but my guess at this point is he had some troubles there. His accuracy was off too often. He got hot at the end of the game when they went to a no-huddle offense which simplifies the defenses and his reads. That may have been the reason for his success late in the game. In the no-huddle offense he was 8-12, while for the rest of the game he was 5-15 -- big difference. They may not have enough offense in with him to do that full-time. Also if teams know you are going to do it full-time they will disguise coverages better.
3. Oakland -- The Raiders lost 28-0, but two of the Kansas City touchdowns were interception returns. I have to believe that the trade disrupted their concentration this week and splitting the QB reps didn't help either QB. If you want to second guess the trade, I don't, just think of how many games they would win with Kyle Boller at QB. When you make a trade like this, it is for the long haul and you will have growing pains with it. Palmer is an accurate passer with a good touch. That accuracy did not show against Kansas City because of limited practice time. Obviously Palmer will improve with time and so will his "football condition". The Raiders will need to stay with their formula of being a physical running team, like they were with Jason Campbell.
4. Miami -- At this point Tony Sparano's decision to go for two points with a 12-0 lead has been second guessed by everyone I'm sure. I would not have done it and it probably cost him the game. It was a devastating loss for the Dolphins and only increases the speculation about his job. Firing Sparano during the season accomplishes nothing. Unless you have your successor on the staff, and my feeling is the Dolphins don't think they do. Then I wouldn't do it unless the team absolutely quit on Sparano or Sparano decided to quit on the team. One time in Washington we started 0-7 and finished that season at 6-10 and the next year we won the division, so you never know when things can turn around. Also what happens if you do change coaches and win a game or two? Is it worth it? Owner Steve Ross should see the season through with Sparano. He does not want to get a reputation of being a quick trigger on coaches, something he is fighting because of what happened last year when he showed interest in other coaches at the end of the season. I think Tony Sparano is a good coach and should be given the full season to be evaluated on.
5. New York Jets -- You clearly see the Jets of the last two years playing out their offensive formula in the last two games: run the ball and be physical up front. San Diego had trouble stopping the run in the past and didn't show it had improved much versus the Jets. Shonn Greene looked sharp. He is a physical north-south runner and that is what he showed on Sunday. The Jets also did a good job of getting the ball to Plaxico Burress in the Red Zone which is where he has a chance to be successful. They also got TE Dustin Keller more involved, targeting him eight times. They need to find a way to get the ball to Holmes more despite what coverages the defenses use to take him away. He was only targeted three times. The Jets are going into their bye with some momentum. After the bye they have home games with Buffalo and New England as well as a road game at Buffalo in their first four games. This will be their critical stretch of the season.
6. Tampa Bay -- Tough loss in London, England. They finished the game without four starters: RB Earnest Graham who only carried two times in the game, OC Jeremy Zuttah, MLB Mason Foster, and S Tanard Anderson. They were already missing starting running back LeGarrette Blount. Without Blount and Graham in the game the Bucs couldn't run the ball and only attempted to run it nine times. The Bucs are not going to win many games throwing the ball 51 times. The Bucs decided to spend the week in London preparing for the game, while Chicago came in on an overnight flight on Thursday landing Friday morning. There is no guarantee either way to assure a win as evidenced by what happened. It has been reported that the Bucs might play an annual game in London. As a GM, I would not be in favor of it. This is different than Buffalo playing in Toronto. They are close markets and there are fans who can attend games in both markets. You have to be careful about alienating the fans in Florida by taking a game away. I would also be against it because in talking to teams that do it, it cuts into your recovery time during your bye week which will always follow the game in London.
7. Washington -- I thought John Beck started slow Sunday which should be understandable and I don't think the Redskins were surprised by it. Beck hadn't started an NFL game since 2007. I thought he picked it up as the game progressed and it showed promise. Losing Tim Hightower and Santana Moss were huge setbacks in this game. Hightower had run for 88 yards when he went out. The Redskins remaining backs rushed for minus-6 yards. It was clear the game plan was to run on Carolina, with the running-against a weakness for them. The loss of Moss is big for the Redskins because he is clearly their best receiver.
8. Carolina -- They are finding themselves on offense. The running game is emerging the way they believed it would with 37 rushes versus 23 passes. Of those 37 rushes 10 were by Cam Newton. Their rushes totaled 175 yards which is very good against anybody but especially the Redskins who have a very good front seven. The Redskins planned to pressure Newton and were able to get four sacks, but they failed to contain Steve Smith which is the other part of the equation. He had 7 catches for 143 yards. Newton has a number of fine traits but one of his best is his accuracy on the deep ball which he displayed to Smith on Sunday. This team will continually improve throughout the season. Ron Rivera has done a good job of keeping them play with a lot of intensity despite the losses.
9. Chicago and Atlanta -- Both beat teams with winning records on the road which could prove to be important for tiebreakers in deciding who gets into the playoffs. Both kept up with their recent trend to emphasize the run over the pass. Julio Jones has a chance to be back when the Falcons play their next game against the Colts on November 6. To me this will be a test game for their team. Not that I think they will not beat the Colts but will they feel they have to get Jones more involved in the offense than Harry Douglas. As for the Bears, Matt Forte had another big day with 145 yards rushing and 38 yards receiving. This will be a tough negotiation at the end of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears don't have to franchise him because they can't get him signed.
10. Dallas -- Methodical win against the undermanned Rams. Romo was efficient and the Cowboys may have found a starting running back in DeMarco Murray who rushed for 253 yards. Murray was hurt earlier thids season and didn't get a chance to show what he could do. It will be fun to watch how he progresses throughout the rest of the season.
11. Green Bay -- They hit the bye week at 7-0 with no QB in the NFL playing better than Aaron Rodgers. They have a realistic shot at going undefeated. The breaks have to fall your way to do it, so we will see if that happens. I think the two teams that have the best chance to beat them are the Saints, who almost did it in the opener and the Eagles. You may be shocked by me saying the Eagles, but the teams with the best shot to beat them are teams that can score. Green Bay's defense is struggling. Teams have told me that their LBs are not playing well except for Clay Mathews and their secondary also is suspect. Even though Woodson had two interceptions against Minnesota, he undercut both routes because he had deep help. He can be beaten in single coverage. Since they will not play either of these teams in the regular season, it will have to be in the playoffs that they could possibly meet one or both of these teams.

Adventure is not just a passion but a
profession for Berry grad Alice Morgan. Working as outdoor leadership
coordinator at Virginia's Shenandoah University, she has the opportunity to kindle
in others the same thrill of discovery she once felt as a student taking
Berry's Freshman Adventure Challenge course.
"That weekend completely changed my
life," she recalled. "I learned a lot about what I was capable of and
discovered how strong a person I actually was. As soon as the weekend ended, I
knew I had to have more."
That "more" turned out to be three and a
half years of valuable student work experience within the Berry Outdoor
Leadership Development (BOLD) program and an interdisciplinary major in outdoor
leadership. During that time, she participated in a 30-day outdoor leadership
program in Alaska and a 50-day Outward Bound excursion in North Carolina. Later,
she completed the master's degree program in outdoor education at Scotland's
University of Edinburgh, one of the longest-standing outdoor education programs
in the world.
"There is no way I'd be where I am today
without Berry," Morgan praised. "From the minute I made the decision to pursue
outdoor education as a career, I had people who were ready to help me make it
"The student work program was also huge
for me. In my current position, I'm constantly looking back to what I learned
at Berry as a reference both directly and by the example of the staff."
