Let it never be said that Supes can't think up immediate solutions on the spot-
Nobody cares about Blink.
Nobody knows who Blink is.
If you've got what it takes to back your words, post pages, cuz all I remember from Blink is that they were in EXiles series.
But nah for reals though you gotta remind me why Blink is even worth giving a damn about, I can't for the life of me remember anything relevant she ever did.

Presumably she's still running X-Force. Then again, Psylocke and Cable are both off doing their own thing. Fantomex is no longer a vegetable and also off doing his own thing.
So basically that leaves her with Dr. Nemesis, Marrow, Domino, and Forget-Me-Not.

Finished the full run (so far) of Southern Bastards. Everything about the book is brilliant. It encapsulates the whole southern redneck mindset, but subverts it by showing you the circumstances that drove people to their actions. Aaron isn't being apologetic or judgmental, just driving an interesting conversation. Even the most evil dudes in the book are a product of their environment, and some of their nasty behaviors make sense in the dog-eat-dog culture that forged them.
Aaron uses violence freely, but never without consequences and never in a positive light. Physical violence is a tool for control or revenge, and leads to repercussions that are usually worse than the circumstances that led to it.
Football is front a center, but it's not the focal point of the story. Instead, it serves as a metaphor for a violent culture where a person's value is determined by their physical strength and ability to leverage their masculinity and establish dominance over peers. These young boys are expected to risk their health every week or face disappointment and ridicule. Anything less than 100% effort renders them unworthy in the eyes of their friends, families, and cult leader coach.
I'll argue there's a really fine line between this win-at-all costs football mentality and the mindset that enables the rise of a Fight Club like organization based on the cult of personality. When nobody is willing to back down or show weakness in front of their leader, it's easy to see the path leading on a downward spiral of violence and control.
Looks like issue #14 drops next month. We're left with a bit of a cliffhanger right now, so I'm very eager to see what Aaron shows us next.

I had no idea that TMNT/Batman crossover existed. How did that happen?
Superman is such an asshole. Fly the same way as everyone else, damn it.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the trade now. It's just odd to see IDW and DC teaming up like that.

JrJr is the best.
It always looks like Superman's photobombing the cover.
And he doesn't care at ALL that he's doing it. He doesn't feel anything.

Batman is still the bigger asshole.

Totally. He's riding a motorcycle without a helmet. What kind of message is that for the kiddos?

I'd assume Kodansha's release but I've never read it so I could be wrong
Both assholes.

Should have avoided sitting on it in the first place Zombine.
I've ironed dust jackets before...
You go out in the open sun?

Seems like a bad idea. Good luck, man.
Amazon reviews say the current Kodansha release is censored/edited. If that's the case try and find the old Dark Horse release secondhand.

You are using a thick cloth between the paper and the iron right?
(Can't you just stick it between a couple of large omnibuses for a few days?)
Pls don't turn into a sillymonkey vs paint v2.

Sillymonkey wasn't happy with the paint job on one of his statues and tried to fix it himself
He bought the wrong shade
