"DC Comics: The New 52": Is This Trip Really Necessary?

Posted on by drumsintheglobalvillage

Okay, so I read a few pages of “Justice League” No. 1, out on Aug. 31. (And boy, DC must be desperate to pull a “Harry Potter”esque midnight release!) It’s great. But at 43, do I really want to see the Justice League form AGAIN?!? Do I want to read (as in, BUY, READ AND COLLECT)  Clark Kent falling in love with Lois Lane AGAIN?!? I hope this strategy works, and I hope DC saves comics (and with it, my local comics store). I really do. But I’m only in for the Black books (and, okay,  maybe “Superman” and “Action Comics” —but only because I love the work of Grant Morrison and George Perez!—and, well, maybe…… 🙂 )

Lord, "Help" Us :)

Since I loved “Captain America,” with its desegregated (!) military, I’m on no moral ground to criticize this movie.  (Although, having said that: did we really need to see a film about a grown up Scout? LOL!  All these people don’t think so. So, now, in 2011, The “Magic Negroes” are now maids? AUUUGGGHHH!!!!) I did, however, enjoy Viola Davis’ frankness here.

Public Enemy's Latest:"Notice–Know This"

Public Enemy posted the following on Youtube:

This is a polite respect call to the troops , to continue to inspire but reflect the people better. OTIS Redding was a humble country man from Macon Georgia who bought a jet to work in, not flash. He perished in that plane. Heres to hoping that the J & K supergroup can elevate the masses and try a little bit more to reflect OTIS heart rather than swag, because they’re too good to be less.
