Awesome scene of Green Lantern (Hal? Kyle?) saving the world from a giant monster while the rest of the JLA has a bad case of Monday morning. Flash needs caffeine, and Batman looks ticked that Superman used up all the cereal. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman has to fight Krypto for breakfast sausage. At least J'Onn looks happy with his Chocos.

In late 2000, a consortium of comic publishers came up with the idea to create a financial safety net for comic creators, much in the same fashion that exists in almost any other trade from plumbing to pottery. By March of 2001, the federal government approved The Hero Initiative as a publicly supported not-for-profit corporation under section 501 (c) (3).

Since its inception, The Hero Initiative (Formerly known as A.C.T.O.R., A Commitment To Our Roots) has had the good fortune to grant over $400,000 to the comic book veterans who have paved the way for those in the industry today.

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

My disillusionment with Johns has kept me from buying GL, but man do I love me some Mahnke.

hey Frank off topic for a moment. DJ Spider contacted me on Facebook about my posting. she's pretty cool.

Yep-- she alerted me to her cosplay after I whined about a lack of Zatanna in her Perez outfit on my blog. I created a post after she offered those photos on Facebook, and it's been among the most popular on that blog.

i can see why. she's 6'1" by the way, and her old school Zatanna costume is among the best in her collection. although most anything looks good on her. i think i'd look . .eh never mind.
