Ugh, it took me forever to make this video. For one, I had a cold, a bad back, and then I had to have my gallbladder removed, I shit you not. During and after that litany of health crises, plus recovery, plus my usual procrastination, I finally finished this beast of a video that really wore me out, because DAMN is this OVA just painful, emotionally and apparently physically. So I will probably never, ever watch this ever again after all this, and I say, good riddance. Maybe I’ll finally get over my anger and just move on.

Batman Eternal #38 Review
There’s a fight in a pit, Bane gets bit, and the artwork is awful shit in this thirty-eighth issue of DC’s weekly Batman (dis)appointment. Batman takes on several of his rogues gallery at the Willowwood Home for Future Villains, Croc gets vengeance for a previous slight, we see that Jim Gordon and The Lion still exist, and I die a little inside reading this once great series now completely in the shitter because of the meandering plot and horrendous artwork.
Fire the fucking terrible artist, DC. Fire this artist, out of a cannon, into the sun. Who the hell is this scribbler? This lopsided, off-model crap looks like the characters look the off-brand bootleg toys of the Batman series. That have been halfway melted under a heat lamp. This is some of the worst art I’ve seen in comics since Jon Bogdanove’s Superman comics in the 90s. It hurts my eyes to look at this. It’s so bad, I don’t even feel bad about hurting feelings saying this. There is no justification for art this bad. Oh, it’s the holidays, so let’s just have terrible art because nobody’s reading this month’s issues until the trades? Well… actually, that’s pretty clever, if that’s what they’re doing. But the art still sucks. At least the next issue looks like it might be a little better, artwise, with a new artist.
America’s Song Embarrasses, Causes Immediate Constipation
There’s a new song sweeping the nation. Sung by some of the music worlds top performers. Stuffed full of imagery from one of the greatest countries in the world. That song, is America’s Song. That song, is cause for emigration.
America’s Song debuted the other day on the Fat Opera Winfrey Show. The single was produced by Wil.I.Am and composed by David Foster (Canadian). As though they thought the song wasn’t doomed to fail from that combination they somehow managed to squeeze in Mary J Blige, Seal, Faith Hill, and someone doing a bad Bono impression.
