Caius the Bigger

I have a JLU Amanda Waller. She is amazing! And looks like AMANDA, which means she's a completely different mold from everyone else.

Also, she has a green ring, which does not seem to have a lantern on it, and is canon as greenygal discovered on Youtube the other night, but...it is distressing.

(...is it possible, by the way, that Task Force X is not on Youtube? I know I have the episode somewhere in my apartment, but I figured it would be easier to find there than here. *eyes apartment balefully.)

Now she just needs a Squad. (I have a Vixen. That's it for people who've ever been in the Suicide Squad, and it's the wrong continuity Vixen at that.) I may perhaps have bought-it-now a JLU Clock King and placed a bid on a Deadshot.

Sadly, or perhaps fortunately, the Suicide Squad members tend not to be the kind of folks who get action figures.

I am intensely annoyed at DC for not making me a figure of Captain Boomerang senior, especially since Owen has *two*, one of whom is basically Amanda-scale. It's just not the squad without Digger!

In other DC cartoon news, the latest Brave and the Bold episode was good times. Ollie got to be awesome innit! And there were both Catwoman and Huntress in the main plot--females, plural! And from the list of people I wasn't really expecting to see on TV: Woozy Winks. (Drooling over Catwoman. *sighs* I still kinda squee'd at Woozy riding Plastic Man, though.)

It continues to entertain me that Ollie and Guy only ever run into each other in circumstances where you do NOT get the expected fistfight, either because Ollie is Silver Age-y (here) or because Guy is, well, Silver Age-y (GL/GA). Or because Ollie is in the hospital. Or dead.

(Sad commentary on Ollie's funeral: Guy gave his eulogy. And said some of the nicer things that were said about him. Yeah.)

Speaking of Ollie, I didn't start watching Smallville for him, and I'm unlikely to start watching it now, but this picture of him and Hawkman (apparently they are bringing in the JSA now!) makes me deeply, deeply happy:

( Ollie. Hawkman. Mace. Table. Crossbow. )

...and in much sadder news, ( my comic shop is going out of business. )

I got through all my first kisses!

There is:

And last but not least, the one that got its own post, Aquaman and Namor for mississippienne and by popular demand.

( Caia finally writes Hal/Ollie )

I was digging through old comics (for a school paper, believe it or not) and came across this, from the little historical background piece in the first issue of the 1983 Green Arrow mini:

"And now--Green Arrow is rich again! Can it be? Will Ollie Queen go back to the board rooms, reopen his mansion, maybe team up once more with Speedy?

Frankly, knowing the men behind this series as we do, we believe all this will happen the day Jonah Hex gets cosmetic Surgery [sic], Captain Carrot gets his teeth fixed, and the Haunted Tank is exorcised.

However GA's life may change, one direction it will never go is backward!" (Probably either Mike Barr, who wrote the mini, or Len Wein, who edited it. Italics in original)

Well, Captain Carrot's world was lost to the Crisis. Where are Jonah Hex and the Haunted Tank nowadays?

badficwriter, inspired by my fic The Revenge of Black Tie, has drawn Ollie and Dinah in each others' costumes:

Black Arrow
Green Canary
