In issue 2, Darkseid's plot to turn all of Earth into small-minded, violent, hero-hating simpletons continues. If he's not stopped soon, all of reality will become the Marvel Universe.

Could some kind person update the awards section of my Wikipedia article?

Also, could some kind person add my latest Aurora nomination to my ISFDB article? Unless it is OK for me to do so.

Coming to you from a murderer's row of talent, Legends was basically the pilot episode of the post-Crisis DCU, introducing or reintroducing a lot of the characters and teams that would dominate the playing field for the near future. As a story, it left me a bit cold, with some pretty wooden dialogue and a slight story about humanity's need for heroes. Of course, with the God of Evil arguing the con position, there's not much nuance to be had.

Anyway, here's Amanda Waller, back when she was less of a villain than Darkseid.

So was anybody going to tell me Lilo & Stitch got a new comic book, or was I just supposed to figure that out for myself?

This is a painting by Édouard Frédéric Wilhelm Richter, who I had never heard of. As well, it's an example of "orientalist" painting, which I had also never heard of. Seems to be depictions of the east (starting at the middle east), as imagined by a painter whose online bio does not mention having ever visited the east.

Some interesting detail work in the expanded version.

All that stands between Alessa Li and freedom from Hellebore Technical Institute for the Ambitiously Gifted is a single carnage-filled rite of passage, or as the unspeakable teachers call it, dinner.
