Not so super heroes

Wonder WomanThis week Bob over at Bobbarama published a refreshing and pretty damn funny write-up on his post Where have all the superheroes gone?

I’m always fascinated to read anything about comics or superheroes when it’s written in a more mainstream or completely non-comic arena. Granted, the articles generally start with the same ol’ “Pow! Bam! Zap! Holy comics are growing up, Batman” type of intro and go on to say that comic books are more adult these days. Uh, yeah. They’ve kinda been like that since the mid-’80s. 1986 in fact when Dark Knight and Watchmen came out and kicked the entire industry in the nuts. But in a good way. (If there is such a thing.)

Anyway, Bob writes a highly entertaining blog that’s pretty much all over the place and he does bring up superheroes once in a while. The post starts off based on a conversation Bob had with a co-worker about Batman not being a real hero… and evolves into Bob giving his opinion on what other costumed characters should fall into the non-hero role. Wonder Woman, Elongated Man, Green Lantern to name a few.

Heck, the guy even mentions Ant Man and shows the cover to the Batman: Son of the Demon graphic novel, so you know he’s a legit fanboy. Anyways, just wanted to send Bob some link love and give him an additional 2 or 3 eyeballs on his site (assuming the 3 readers I have actually listen to me)…

    Hey Christy! Yeah I have a few blgos and this would be my favorite if I could have enough time to devote to it. I’m hoping to step that up a bit. Thanks for the invite to the Batcave, I am so there.
