Oh, I Guess I Should Stay Away From The Comics Blogosphere For Another Month

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is set to become a TV show without the creators participating. From the clumsy write-up to all the pro- and anti-Moore folks that will be warring on the intertubes, this is gonna get messy.

Personally, I'm getting myself pre-upset at Hollywood screwing up the potential for the property a second time. Will there be another hack attempt to add a Fictional-American to the group?

At least my sainted wife will be happy until the cancellation is announced.

Apollo and Midnighter finally put their foot down and insist Jenny enroll in public school to see what it's really like to be her age in the 21st Century. But, as they attend a parent/teacher/student event in their mild mannered alter egos, a few small feats for them that would be nigh impossible for the other parents creates a hilarious problem when Jenny tells everyone that it's all because they're gay for each other. Chaos ensues as attendees try to lift cars and dodge bullets after having (what they'll soon wish was anonymous) gay sex with each other in the locker rooms.

ZATANNA: Nrob Niaga #1 of 666
Written by Christine O'Donnell
Artist: TBA

After falling in love with the angel Zauriel, Zatanna Zatara has come to understand her powers are not backwards spells, but backwards prayers. As a devout born-again Christian, her priorities in life have taken a turn. She has put all her good, honest, godly effort into trying to lead the people to the light, but when people still view her as a pagan, how can she get elected to Delaware's open Senate seat without saying, "gir eht etov ni ym rovaf!"

By day, Rose is a patriotic legislator. By night, she assumes her guise as Thorn, criss-crossing the nation to battle instillations of the dangerous Ferocious Enraged Muslims of America.

GUARDIANS OF THE UNIVERSE: LITTLE BLUE PILLS 
Co-Written by Rush Limbaugh and his eighteen (18) "personal" physicians
Artist: Pfizer Studios

For the last several years, the Guardians have been lifeless and limp. The highest ranking Corps members want to change this, but it will be difficult. On Maltus, there was a monument to a leader that brought a smile to even the hardest member of society. Mr. Happy was so revered that almost every man would make their decision based on what he would want. But, in order to erect such a monument that will stand straight when plunged into the depths of Oa, a crack team of ring-slingers would have to penetrate the Zamorran bush to get a particular pharmaceutical grade substance. Will their plan cover it or are they being too cocky? Penis. Vagina.

ROCKET RED: You Can See Home From Here #1 of 4
Written by Sarah Palin
Artist: Trig Palin

After realizing that communism is an affront to God, Mikhail relocates to Alaska to make a career change (to being the color commentator for local ice fishing competitions) that he hopes will make him happy. What he didn't count on was a Communist plot to take over the US...hatched from WITHIN our borders. Rocket Red is going to need a lot more than hope and change if his unretiring is going to save the day!

*Note to retailer: please stay tuned for communications from your sales rep about the new and exciting team that will be replacing the Palins as of issue 3.

The American people are being oppressed and they don't even know it.
