I think this could well be one of the best things I have ever seen :D
Win. :D
Enjolras was a charming young man, who was capable of being terrible. He was angelically handsome. He was a savage Antinous. One would have said, to see the pensive thoughtfulness of his glance, that he had already, in some previous state of existence, traversed the revolutionary apocalypse. He possessed the tradition of it as though he had been a witness.
I am reblogging this for the sake of stating that, while I have never read Les Miserables, nor am I likely to do so, having not the time nor the energy for something that long (see under: grad school forever): oh my GOD that is the best line, I want to steal that line, it is not fair that someone else wrote that line first even if it was Victor Hugo.

GUH. MARTYRDOM. PREFIGURED. THANK YOU. GORGEOUS.
Les Misérables is an awesome read - when it’s telling a story. Unfortunately, Hugo will spend multi-chapter stretches just lecturing at you about the character. And yes, it totally produces gems like the above, but you really lose the moment of the story.
Do You Have An E-reader?
If so, do you use it much? What kind do you have? Do you ever use it to read comics? Have you ever upgraded to a different model?
I have a Kindle. I believe it’s the third-gen - so it has an e-ink display, no touch-screen, and no colour. It wouldn’t be useful for reading comics. The Kindle, she is for novels. This is my first Kindle.
I also have an Android phone, and on that I make good use of its Comixology app!
Proposition 8 amended the California state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.
The actors photographed here are all Power Rangers alumni, protesting that amendment—and showing the children who look up to them what it takes to be a hero in the modern world.
The image is powerful, the facts are simple: if you don’t stand for equality, you don’t stand with The Power Rangers.
They used Trini’s helmet. I can’t do this.
This actually made me cry unexpectedly.
Go, go, Power Rangers. LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.
Ryan, let me love you
If only we’d had a few more issues…
would wondy have a concept of ‘gay’ though, growing up in a monogendered environment…?
Well, sure, of course she would. This is pre- New52, she had lived in the mortal world for years.
But also, the caption is Ryan’s, not Diana’s.
Oh how I miss this series. :( I’ve loved a lot of Gail Simone’s work - including her recent run on Batgirl - but nothing tops All-New Atom.
I Rarely Ask This But…
…if you could choose any character from any comics company for me to write, that I had not had an assignment on before (so no Bop, Superman, Atom, Deadpool, etc.), whom would you pick?
Spider-Man. I think Spider-Man would fit you like a tailor-made glove.
Wow, I’m never buying anything Tony Harris does again. Disgusting.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you two time Eisner winner Tony Harris, aka, everything that is rotten about geek culture.
At first I was all:
Then I was like:
But ultimately, I was just:
Not this shit again. Seriously. Tony Harris, you are an asshole.
I want to grab him and shake him until the JACKASSERY is dislodged.
But first I want to proofread this hot mess.
