Found via FARK, an article about The Superhero Book in which the book’s author claims the stupidest idea in comics is “super pets,” like Krypto or Beppo the Super Monkey. If by “the stupidest,” she means “the most absolutely fantastic,” then I agree completely.
On Crocodile Caucus (just added to my weblog listing, by the way) is a discussion of the apparently much-missed Amethyst Princess of Gemworld, judging by reaction elsewhere on comicsweblogosphere. Early on in this weblog of mine, I suggested (under January 11, if it doesn’t load correctly) that Amethyst would be a good candidate for a manga-sized trade. I still think it’s a good idea…I’d bet it’s a franchise just waiting to happen for DC, who could use some more female lead characters.
