This week’s 5 Fandom Friday is inspired by la langue de geek, it’s those geeky phrases by which we all identify each other and converse by droppin catchphrases yo! 1. “It’s in the frackin’ ship!” oh man, this more than probably any is my favourite to whip out during parties. Squint one eye shut, grasp…

TTFN, Hipster Batgirl
Is there any better feeling than being right? Around the last issue of Batgirl of Burnside, I developed a theory as to who the villain was aaaaaaaaand… SPOILER ALERT I was totally right! It’s Batgirl/Oracle herself! In my theory, the whole Burnside blushy-hearts escapade was a fugue state and the REAL Batgirl had to rouse…
Happy Valentine’s Day from Secret Six!
Several (several) weeks after it was supposed to come out, last Wednesday we finally saw the thrilling second half of the re-re-make of Secret Six. The first ended on a cliffhanger, asking the question, “What’s the secret?” And I figured out what the secret was: a Super Special Valentine’s Day Issue! Whaaaaat? Yes, this issue…
5 Fandom Friday: Favourite Fandom Accessories
As far as “accessories” go, I don’t really own that much, so I expanded this to include all fandom accoutrement that I’ve accumulated in my life. Accessories, clothes, etc. 1. Battlestar Galactica sweatshirt will, surprisingly, make you the instant hit of the party. I wore mine on New Year’s Eve and not only was I…
5 Fandom Friday: Goin’ to Con
Oh me oh my, in my little life I’ve only ever been to the last 3 NYCC’s! This prompt was hard to figure out because I’m not really sure what’s out there as far as Cons even GO, so I included some other fandom-related places I’d like to go as well. 1. NYCC ’15 is…
What's the Secret? Secret Six is Back!
Yes, fan-favourite Secret Six has been rebooted. What does this mean? Well, seems that it means that all those characters you knew and loved and wanted to see more of are…. Gone. That arc is done. No more Deadshot, no more Scandal/Lianna, no more Bane, NO MORE RAGDOLL. Wait, what? Why bother bringing it back…
Batgirl #37: Gaga for Banksy
I’m gonna say it, I think Batgirl #37 was the best Burnside Batgirl issue yet! You know that saying, don’t judge a book by its cover? That absolutely applies here. The first few pages are definitely…a little off-putting. Selfie! Kawaii! Poker face! Erm, yeah, maybe not… Not at first, anyway. Then slowly, subtly, the issue…
New Year's Meme by Sunday Stealing!
The New Year’s Eve Meme from Sunday Stealing! In 2014, I gained: a new job, a new friend, and a hot boyfriend. Hi! I lost: my first pet, Charlie. I stopped: working in retail – “and that has made all the difference.” I never realized how shitty I was being treated on a daily basis…

We Have To Talk About Batgirl
I know I’m tardy to the party here, but I just – *just* got my hands on Batgirl #35 – the now infamous “new Batgirl” – and am desperate to have discussion about it. See, I have two friends – both dudes – one who hated it and the other liked it. I’m inclined to…
5 Fandom Friday: I WANT CANDY!
Wow-ee! It’s been a month of linking up with The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick to play 5 Fandom Friday! This was my favourite prompt so far and the easiest to answer: 1. Mounds & 2. Almond Joy I was lucky growing up that both of my brothers and my mother despised coconut – as long…
