On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

How does anyone get Texas as the host of Charlton's Point, when the comics-publishing company that city was named for was based in Connecticut?

I might have returned to reading the DC Universe titles for this. Maybe. It's an intriguing set-up, and a definite return to a saga of generations for the DCU line of comics series.

Shoulder pain is mostly gone now, and the range of motion is almost back to normal. So there's that.

I'm going to pass on the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League. Despite some of the recommendations I've seen over the last couple of days. I'm feeling uneasy about the whole thing.

Maybe useful to some of you?

This was the first LSH artist I really knew to pay attention to. I first saw his work in that Secrets of the Legion of Super-Heroes mini-series back in 1981. It was the original version of that team, pre-Crisis, and the mini-series covered the backstories of the members and the group as a whole. And DC was doing mini-series before Marvel picked up the habit, clearly.

I don't know much about his history as either comics artist or animator otherwise. Just this. I never got to meet the guy, not that I can remember. And because it was the Legion that he introduced me to, it matters to me that he's gone now.

A work in progress, clearly.

Yes, I just saw the reports on Variety and THR, and some discussion on TrekBBS.

Perhaps this isn't the surprise that I first thought.

Between the spinal injuries on the set, the allergic reactions to costume-related make-up, the similar and more permanent injury of a production assistant on location, the constant abuse from toxic "fans" that she's certainly been dealing with, whether the abuse is because she's "out" or because her character is...and then, there's the simple fact of the "60-80 hour work weeks 9 months a year in the Vancouver rain" before any of the rest of that gets factored in.

Whatever the reasons for her choice, I hope Ruby Rose has a good life, that she lives long and prospers with peace of mind and heart through it all. Thank you for your performances. You brought joy and wonder, danger and excitement, and a set of ideals behind it all. Thank you for taking this chance.

To whoever's next up to wear that cape and wig and ride those motorcycles: whoever you are, I look forward to seeing you do your best with the people around you on both sides of the camera. I hope you find your own joy and wonder in this work in progress, and that it will keep you around for the long term. And I thank you for taking this chance.

I saw the movie tonight. I trusted to Gail Simone's recommendation on this, and got my time and money's worth. Seemed like every character with a speaking part was swearing a blue streak, but this time, so what? This really felt like Gotham to me.

Thanks, Gail.

It just hit home: DC Comics is now owned by AT&T.
