More reasons why I love Tiny Titans
thefingerfuckingfemalefury:
Because in Tiny Titans these two are an adorable and lovely couple who give us super-cute scenes like this, instead of being killed off in a gory and horrible way in a crappy Countdown tie in <3
I love that last panel. It might be one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen <3

Bleeding Cool: Justice League XXX To Feature Gay...
Whenever I get to chatting with friends about porn superhero parodies, and for some reason the subject keeps coming up, at some point we wonder why the male gay porn market hasn’t seized upon the genre, especially given the standard Batman and Robin taunts over the decades.

Written on June 7, 2012 by Rich Johnston in Comics, Recent Updates
Okay, I gave it a day.
Some people complained that yesterday’s article about Alan Scott, the as yet-to be Green Lantern of Earth Two, proposing to his boyfriend, was a spoiler. I disagreed, stating that if I’d have run the following page it would be a spoiler.
