From that and the cinematics they do occasionally League of Legends seems to take itself way more seriously than Dota, which is weird since the character designs are a whole bunch zanier.

Can someone post the part from Prez #6 where President Ross owns the senators who tried to powerplay her? (Well, technically SHE doesn't own them... she just made it so someone else does.)

It's a little hard to post The Part, since context is woven through the issue, but- The villainous megacorps have proposed legislation under which they would dedicate a modest portion of their R&D to finding a cure for the cat flu epidemic that's killed shitloads of Americans thus far, including the President's father. All they want in return is the right to patent the DNA of the virus they're going to study, and any other living organisms they can catch. This does not go over well with President Ross, and she tells them to get hosed, but an actual bipartisan coalition overrides her and passes the bill anyway. And then they come together for another meeting, and

What confuses me about Fake Neil DeGrasse-Tyson is that Real Neil DeGrasse-Tyson is part of the DCU. What's Fake Neil DeGrasse-Tyson's story? Is he just running around as a Neil DeGrasse-Tyson impersonator? Who happens to work at the same planetarium? Did he model his life on Real Neil DeGrasse-Tyson?

redbackground posted:I bet by having a DC logo in the corner as opposed to a Vertigo one, it automatically sells better. Maybe, but it also means it's judged by DC standards, and not Vertigo. Vertigo titles are often bigger sellers in trade, via bookstores and the like. Prez sells horribly in singles, but I bet the trade will do pretty well, which would save it under Vertigo, but at DC it's lucky if they'll get the second arc.

I'm feeling somewhat confused - wasn't there a Prez book back in the 90s with a male Prez? Anyway, this title looks pretty cool.

Looks like there was an issue written by Brubaker that I now want to track down. http://comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=26336 But the 60s title is the original and most famous. It stars Prez Richards. He's in the new book, too, as an old guy with the new Prez taking his role.

Huh, I remembered that there was another use of the original other than Gaiman, but I assumed it was Morrison. I'm kind of interested in what Brubaker did with it, considering it seems outside his usual wheelhouse.

Congratulations, that is what it feels like to be in a demographic that is being pandered to  No offense meant to you or the properties involved, nostalgia is totally OK when it's applied well (look at the early League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).

From Darth Vader 13 and Star Wars 13, Darth Vader has been shot down a Rebel held world while looking for Luke:    The Vader Down storyline is really good.

I can never read any of Darth Vader's dialogue in Darth Vader's voice. It just doesn't sound like something he'd say, at least to me.
