So some of you may have heard that DC Comics is wiping the slate for all their stories. Going back to #1.<\/a> Rebooting. Rejuvenating. Shaking the Etch-A-Sketch. Erasing all messages and starting fresh. <\/p>\n

Whatever. I’m surprisingly “meh” about this announcement. I’m even more surprisingly “meh” about the image associated with the article to which I linked. The reboot looks for the superheroes depicted all kinda stink. Superman has a popped collar and blue skivvies now. Wonder Woman looks like a cross between punk-era Storm and a stripper. Aquaman…okay, I just can’t be bothered to care about Aquaman. Why? Let me let Robot Chicken explain it for me:<\/p>\n

Yeah. Aquaman. Pfft. Still, why does he have to look like a Swiss model? And, really, they all look a bit young. And…is that a machine gun protruding from the Green Lantern’s crotch? And why is the Flash built like a brick shit house now? How can he be fast when he’s so cumbersome looking? <\/p>\n

Hmm. Guess I care more than I thought. Or I’m just a whiny hater. <\/p>\n

The good thing is that I did find out that Batwoman will continue to be a player in the DC Comics universe. Not too surprising, considering how amazing her first graphic novel was.<\/a> And the even better news is that her story will be tended to in part by J.H. Williams, III. This makes the White Wolf somewhat happy. <\/p>\n

Happier, at least, than I am over the first look at Cliff Chiang’s cover art<\/a> for the Wonder Woman reboot. Waitforit…<\/p>\n

MEH.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s just not…at all enticing. <\/p>\n

This, however? This is made of pure awesome: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OMGWTFBBQ!! Wonder Woman as Joan Jett backed up by Zatanna, Black Canary, and Batgirl? This is inspired artwork of the most rockin’ variety.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Seriously, if Cliff Chiang printed this on a T-shirt, I would so buy it. <\/p>\n

Someone make this happen. Now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
