*(a 3,000-Year-Old Meditating Alien Detective/Interpretive Dancer/Brawler/Commanding Officer Who Wears X-Suspenders Across His Bare Chest)

Adam Hughes joined Justice League America with this issue, and a couple of costume redesigns showed his influence right away. ( ‘Hughes’ seems like more of a COLORIST’S name, though, wouldn’t you say? )

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Sebastian Stan will be playing Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part II.

Bucky jokes aside I think this is great casting.

“The Joker to me is always the opposite of Batman. So if Absolute Batman is this thing, Joker would become a billionaire with all the resources, who is telling Bruce, ‘Well, you’re not going to become anything,’ and then it becomes, who would he put in Batman’s way? Well, Joker plays both sides, so he creates crime and creates the means to stop crime. He’s always playing us, and the Joker issue explains what a clown is and why the Joker loves them… If Bruce is Joker now, and he is chaos and he is disruption, then Joker is the system and order. That means Joker would have a Batcave, he would have a mansion, he would be handsome, and be a socialite. Maybe he has Robins!” -- Scott Snyder

It's quite a seat-of-the-pants book. I told you I had plans very far ahead. Are there sort of waypoints? I kind of know where we need to be by this issue. I know where we need to be by this issue... I'm still gonna sit down and, like, start writing a new issue. I'll suddenly think, ‘Oh, what if I threw this in there?’ I threw Terry Long into an issue. Not for very long. Nobody needs to worry. But I threw him in it for an issue. -- Al Ewing

The official line was that Justice League America would be the funnier title and Justice League Europe would be the more serious one, but things weren’t working out that way so far. As JLA #30 took that title to new depths of darkness, JLE #6 was Giffen and DeMatteis’ most ridiculous issue yet, its plot shamelessly engineered for maximum absurdity. ( Rumiko Takahashi couldn’t have done it better. )

It all stemmed from wanting to do something to celebrate Venom reaching issue 252–the number in which in Amazing Spider-Man Spidey started wearing the symbiote. When I suggested we put Venom in a red and blue costume, I was only kidding…but so many of the best ideas start as jokes! Everyone loved it. I got Luchiano to design it because hot damn he is great at that. There are so many great details in there. I then took that design to writer Jordan Morris, who came up with the character and story to go with it. That story will be a backup in the issue and introduce this new Venom to the world! But we weren’t done with the design yet–Al Ewing ALSO loved the look of it and the celebration, so he cooked up an excuse for MJ to rock that look in 616 as well! -- Jordan D. White

Didn't take my meds for two days (I was out*), subsequently didn't write anything for two days. Took them around noon today and just wrote 1700 words in one go. jfc. Will I learn anything from this? Absolutely not are you kidding??

Grem's appointment for x-rays was set for tomorrow but the wholeass office has the flu or something so they've rescheduled it for Tuesday. At this point I don't even care like the limp is neither going away nor getting noticeably worse, I have enough NSAIDs and gabapentin to last until then, the weird joint lump the emergency vet metaphorically shrugged about is not getting bigger, so whatever! Whatever!!! I'm going to murder someone!!!!!

* Calling the pharmacy to ask them to fill my adderall prescription is always a huge Ordeal in my brain because I always have to

1) talk to the front desk, they can not find the prescription even though I am saying the magic words
2) get transferred to the pharmacist when I insist it is there
3) say the magic words to the pharmacist (it was written X months ago and dated for this month), who immediately finds it and puts it in to be filled

I hate it so much. So so so much.
