Slowly all references to Brian Braddock ever being Captain Britain will be erased, and Faiza Hussain will have always been Captain Britain. The final step is Psylocke realizing she's actually Faiza's sister and was always Betsy Hussain. They did it to Captain America, Brexit will remind Marvel it's Britain's turn.

That unfunny joke reminded me of how we'll probably never see Nightrunner at DC, even if they remembered how stupid they are for not using Batman Inc.

I'm too gutted and angry to care about comic books right now. It's a victory for ignorance, fear, and stupidity, and the ones who will feel it the most are the ones who loving voted for it. Scotland, London, Norn Iron, Liverpool and Newcastle are cool, burn down the rest. I mean, Wales! loving WALES! It's gotten more from the EU than it's ever put in, they've funded regeneration programmes while successive governments have left it (and the North) to loving rot.

They've wanted to stay in the EU all along, it was constantly getting lumbered with England's Conservative governments no one up there voted for that contributed strongly to a drive for independence. Which they'll press for even stronger now, and most likely get after this if a second referendum is held.

I've been having a killer headache contemplating the referendum and as much as I wanna avoid it as much as possible it's kind of frightening to think about, especially if it could be foreshadowing for November here in the US. "Without a bullet being fired"....class act, the UKIP. So! To answer the original question, goodbye Captain Britan, hello Captain Airstrip-One.

Markets should stabilize in the US and Asia by the end of the week. It will hurt the US a bit but it shouldn't cause a global recession. Plus it is nearly impossible for Trump to win. Has this increased his chances? Yes, but we would need a recession, Clinton to die or be arrested, or a 9/11 type terrorist attack for him to win.

It was like Breaking Bad and Banshee had a baby that matched the peaks of both of those shows. And I'm not sure I've seen any TV show or even a novel stick the landing so perfectly. That climax delivered on EVERYTHING. Scalped absolutely slays and Southern Bastards is an excellent spiritual successor to it. When Scalped came out were there a lot of Native American activists mad about a white guy writing about a corrupt Indian reservation?

The financial drop is basically this sketch IRL. I know it affects everyone but taking comfort in assholes getting hosed as much or more than they gently caress up the world is one of the only ways I have to cope with this sort of thing and why I read the Schadenfreude thread in PYF so much.

I know it's hosed up but I take some cold comfort in knowing that our sister country across the pond is as stupid or stupider than us actually giving a loving reality tv show star a legitimate shot at the highest office in the land. Schadenfreude's a real bitch.

Eh, a reality TV star being nominated for President isn't any crazier than an actor having already been President, or a Saturday Night Live star being a Senator, or not one but TWO stars of the movie Predator being governors.

I thought the idea for Man-of-Bats and Red Raven was a good one, but one that was executed in the greyest and dullest way possible, just like how most of Batman, Inc itself is the least interesting possible take on what a community of Batmen would mean.

Grant Morrison's Batman sucked because it tried making funny Silver Age stuff gritty and realistic to "explain" how they fit into canon, which seems like the opposite of his normal shtick. I'm not a huge fan of the Silver Age but Batman imagining fighting a rainbow monster in an isolation induced psychotic break is dumber than Batman fighting a rainbow monster.

Actually Batman R.I.P. is one of the best Batman stories of all time??? And there's a bunch of lightness to it, too. Batman and Robin is just awesome Batman poo poo with the best Batman and the best Robin before ROBW ties in, and even after is pretty much just Dick and Damian beatin' on dudes.

Not being devoid of levity doesn't mean something isn't stupidly dark. But I've long since accepted I'm in the minority on Morrison's Batman, and I'd probably like it better if I took to Damian like most readers.

All those classic comics are actually macabre as gently caress, Morrison doesn't really make them gritty or realistic.
