Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.
Matthew has something to hide in Major Spoilers Adventures #35: A Cut Above.
It’s that time loyal Spoilerites! The Comic Casting Couch is live, and this week we take a look at a hero who was introduced around the Infinite Crisis, has had his own series, and can be seen all over the DC Universe, The Blue Beetle!
We’ve scoured our brains and have come up with a list of our Top Ten Time Traveling movies that end up teaching us a thing or two about our desire to change past events.
In this issue: A popcorn comic reviewed, Superman owes for damages, and Darkwing Duck is back!?
Stephanie Brown has really come into her own as the new Batgirl, but when her old flame shows up, things can either go oh so wrong, or so, so right.
Ahh, the '70's. A time of Afros, bell-bottoms, and in the case of CBS television, attempts at superhero TV shows. This week, we're going to take a look at one of these TV movies, loosely based on WWII hero Captain America. So grab your clear Cap shield and motorcycle helmet and read on!
Batman: Streets of Gotham artist Dustin Nguyen has brought to life characters of the DCU with his unique and striking art style. Dustin’s art work can also be found in the pages of Wildstorm, Supernatural, and the Friday the 13th books. A favorite among comic fans, I had the pleasure to speak with him about his career, comics and the return of Bruce Wayne.
Could Lori Lemaris be the love interest to replace Lana Lang in the next Season of Smallville?
We’ve already been introduced to Smallville’s version of Aquaman, so another underwater character wouldn’t be too much of a shock. But talk about jumping the shark – or mermaid in this case.
If you need further convincing; consider Lori Lemaris is another character with the initials LL.

If Lana isn’t going to be in the next season much, why not just have Clark’s inevitable relationship with Lois start up?
Isn’t she still dating Ollie Queen? I haven’t seen any episodes this season, so I’m a bit behind.
Gotta love the double ‘L’ mythos. A few months ago Superman Confidential did a Lori Lemaris type run I think.
Metropolis was submerged and magic turned all the citizens to mere-people.
BTW – did you read the essay from Michael Chabon in the New Yorker. I posted it on my blog, but you
MANY more readers than I do.

I’m a bit behind too, this year
