Cheryl Lynn isn't quite sure who she is, but she's pretty sure of what she wants to be. A warrior woman. A bad-ass mamajama. Perhaps an earth goddess extraordinaire. She spends her days abusing keyboards and screaming at computer screens while she waits for her cult following to finally show up.

She changes her mind more often than extras in rap videos change thongs.

Mainstream musings. Part II.

This is going to seem silly.



This disappointed me so very much. Not Colleen, Danny, Luke and Misty being together. That would be like being disappointed in sunshine. But Misty's hair. The last woman with a natural in mainstream comics is gone. And to be honest? That makes Misty a lot less cool to me.

I liked the fact that Misty was a character who was secure enough and loved herself enough that she wasn't going to dump a vat of caustic lye on her head or risk scarring herself with hot metal in order to look acceptable. Not only was she going to wear an Afro, but it was going to be huge and in your face, and you would just have to deal. Because Ms. Knight wouldn't be changing herself for nobody, dig?

She made black features beautiful. And Storm, even with her being the first black superheroine, could not do that. Not with blue eyes and straight, platinum blonde locks.

Though I suppose straight hair is a hell of a lot easier to draw. Doesn't send the same message though.

Mainstream musings.

Well, I didn't expect this to happen. I have no one to geek out with. During Civil War, it was a great deal of fun to be able to bitch about Tony Stark with friends. During World War Hulk, it was a blast to gather round and play "armchair editor" and try to predict the twists and turns of the Marvel universe. Unfortunately, Civil War and World War Hulk are both over. And I have no interest in Skrulls or mutants. I have a couple friends who are head over heels in love with Annihilation, but Marvel's cosmic characters don't really do it for me either. Meh.

I did take a peek at Green Lantern #25 and totally fell in love with it. So very pretty. I'm a bit fearful of diving in though. All I really know about the DCU I learned from television. And that's not nearly enough information to be able to figure out what's going on during a major crossover. Though issue #25 seemed like a pretty nice "jumping on" point. But I don't have anyone to geek out with! None of my offline friends give a rat's ass about the DCU.

On the other hand...Indigo Lanterns.

Maybe I'll try a couple of issues.

I want to be an Indigo Lantern so bad.
