Written World: 50 Things I Love About Mainstream Superhero Comics:
"7) She-Hulk enjoys her super-strong green form.
8) The core team of the JSA is essentially a bunch of cranky old men who probably get together with old supervillains to play poker.
11) Retroactive Continuity!!
12) I've been following these characters long enough to be able to fill in the spaces between the panels.
15) Somewhere in the Multiverse there is an Earth controlled by Nazi Dinosaurs.
20) Big Barda is the muscular ass-kicker in the Free family, and Scott isn't the least bit bothered by this.
21) A large percentage of the male population of Opal City wear fedoras.
22) Black Canary was still a hero when she lost her powers.
23) Manhunter is divorced. She is not a castrating bitch. Her husband is not deadbeat Dad. They are two decent people who couldn't make it work out, and there was no need to make anyone the villain to make the other look better.
24) The original Red Tornado was just a lady with a pot over her head and a blanket-cape, even came from a humor book, but in the modern DCU she's known as a hero and her flashback stories drive that home.
25) Tim Drake and Maxine Hunkle are overenthusiastic hero-worshippers who became heroes.
26) "When I'm no longer needed to battle crime and injustice" is a better answer to "When will you marry me?" than "When Hell freezes over"
33) Shining Knight is a teenaged girl with a sword, gold armor, an Arthurian history, and a flying horse!
36) Lois Lane is a driven, pushy, arrogant, complaining, sneaky modern career woman. As a result, she gets to see Superman with his briefs off on a regular basis.
39) Grant Morrison.
42) The industry pros are part of the fandom.
49) "You made me lose my hair!" was not the motivation for a female villain."
