Folks are having trouble editing Never-Ending Battle, [livejournal.com profile] bryant says its some DNS thing according to [livejournal.com profile] head58. I'm not havin any trouble with either Never-Ending Battle or tantanea so beats me whats going on. But if your having trouble posting entries to Never-Ending Battle I'm assured it will be resolved.

Second round is over, interesting grab bag. Definitely a Top 10 type of world we've got developing here. And Kirby, okay I'm the one mainly oozing Kirby but heh its a hobby.

So last night I'm reading the tpb of Trinity which is Matt Wagner's take on how Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman first met and worked together as a trio. It really was about how WOnder Woman met the two boys.

Theres a scene where Wonder Woman is totally chained up. [livejournal.com profile] peaseblossom looks across at me and sees it. I get a ribbing. It would be easier if DC would just publish Wonder Woman as a bondage comic least then I wouldn't get made fun of for reading it.

And even though think Ra's is one of the coolest villains out there I think I find most of his depictions rather lame.

Salon in an article about Rebecca Solnit new memoir makes the following comment:

"At a time when the trend in nonfiction publishing favors microhistories -- the current file under "C" alone yields popular books on cod, cocaine and caffeine -- Solnit's interests remain expansive. "Wanderlust," her sprawling history of walking, covered everything from early hominids stepping out on the savanna to latter-day tourists promenading along the postmodern wonderland of the Vegas Strip."

Now I've read Wanderlust, and I've also read my share of so-called microhistories. And I'd just like to say that Solnit's book shares just about all the same aspects as the best of the so-called microhistories. Taking a topic and expanding upon all its beautiful complexities. I think its rather snobbish to decry one because they are emant as popularizes and put on a pedestal the other because its written by an academic darling.
