My Joker Theory

Aquaman he ain’t. (Because people care about this character.)

(From Batman #38 – Snyder/Capullo)

 

Last week, writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo’s Batman (vol 2) #38 came out, and much controversy is being made of a revelation made in the final pages concerning everybody’s favorite killer clown, Joker. Apparently, the Joker is, it seems, immortal! Jim Gordon shot him several times in the previous issue, killing shots that he nevertheless shook off. But what really freaked Batman out was when he confronted D-list villain Crazy Quilt, who revealed that the Harlequinn of Hate had a special chemical in his spine similar to a substance in certain jellyfish that induces cell regeneration. read more

Reconguista in G: What’s going on? A general summary of the universe

Been watching Reconguistia in G lately? Well, you should, if only for the great animation and fights. If you are, do you know what’s going on? Let’s just say "easy to follow" isn’t exactly a common descriptor. Tomino’s break-neck pacing and sporadic exposition haven’t made the picture clear for a lot of folks. If you’ve seen Turn A, it’s a lot like that, just turned up to 11.

Hell, I barely have a grasp of what’s going on and that seems to fly out the window with the start of each episode. Hopefully this will help clear things up a bit… read more

Super Happy Magic: A Record Of Interaction

Michael Fitz-Gibbon <penguintruth@gmail.com> Sun, Jan 6, 2008 at 5:14 AM
To: zac@animenewsnetwork.com

Hello,

I’m Michael Fitz-Gibbon, a recent graduate of Central Connecticut State University, and avid Japanese animation fan. I majored in English with a minor in Creative Writing in college and am eager to put my writing talents to use, and believe that writing reviews for Anime News Network may be one way to do this. I am at the disposal of the ANN staff if necessary, as I am currently writing short stories and poetry, hoping to be published, but otherwise have time to watch and review media. I would appreciate the opportunity to review anime for ANN, as I have been a long time visitor to the site and a member of the forum (as penguintruth). Anime News Network has been a favorite anime website of mine for a long time and is undoubtedly the finest source of anime news on the web, and it would be a great privilege to be part of the effort to maintain its standard of reporting and reviewing. read more

Testing out Amazon Web Services

For some odd reason I’m always tweaking the site in December. Last year it as all kinds of much needed upgrades and special features. This year it’s something a lot more dangerous, a move to Amazon Web Services!

Well, it’s not really that dangerous, since the original instance of this site is still running on the old server. But this extended test on AWS is fraught with a bit of danger since I haven’t a clue what the sort of resources the site needs to run on a daily basis. The site is currently sitting in the lowest tier, simply due to cost. Hopefully this will be enough because the next higher will seriously overstep the ad revenue. read more

2013 Washington Auto Show – Lower Concourse Photo Gallery – Part 2

Today I took my annual trip to the Washington Auto Show in, you guessed it, Washington DC. This year it runs from February 1st through the 10th at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. I took a ton of photos this year so I decided to share them here on OR. While I normally hate sites that break up articles across many pages I figured it would be for the best here due to the number of pictures.
