"You may think it's not your problem..." - Comic Books on AIDs and Homosexuality

I don't know about you, but my favorite superheroes don't just serve the community with fists and super powers. NOPE. It is also a well-known fact that many superheroes can also protect and serve the country through the power of WORDS. In fact, I would be an extreme Asian supremacist without the work of our greatest superheroes. Over this week, I will post some friendly public announcements by my favorite superheroes.

Ah, Jon Stewart, the BLACK Green Lantern, is spreading the word regarding homosexuality and AIDs. Notice the lack of super powers (except for the flight and glowing ring). But wait....


....here's the exact same ad, but with Hal Jordan. * gasp * He's a WHITE Green Lantern and basically saying the EXACT same thing. Hell, all the background characters are the same. It is fascinating to see DC and the public service organizations use these two characters interchangeably to tell the same messages. Intriguing, indeed. Notice, that Jon Stewart (the Black one) has a darker background for the bottom panel.

Frank Miller. What the hell?

In the recent issue of All Star Batman and Robin, Batman decides to confront Green Lantern by painting himself yellow.


What?I don't even know why I even bother reading this comic. The art clashes with Frank Miller's style. Frank Miller claims that this series is actually a prequel to his classic "Dark Knight Returns" series. Although I can understand how this could work, I really liked how Batman's craziness in the classic is related to the changing times. I don't want his craziness (especially here) to be just be KRAZY. I just can't believe Batman would ever paint himself and his surroundings yellow in order to confront the Green Lantern. I'm thinking of just calling this Batman, MR. B. "Mentally Retarded Batman."


I've been playing the new Apollo Justice title. Still stuck on the first case, but I really like this game so far. It is basically like every other game in the series, but just a little bit slicker.
