Lady Liberators
This team of kick-ass women have been appearing in the Hulk and She-Hulk series lately. I love this homage to a previous team of Liberators that appeared in the Avengers during the 70s.

Superman: Secret Origin
"Geoff Johns and Gary Frank will leave Action Comics, and move to the six-issue, standalone, Superman: Secret Origin, a re-telling of Clark Kent growing up and becoming Superman.
The "Secret Origin" stories in the DC Comics universe - are vital to the introduction of characters and mythology to the larger audience, and I think they can be to the long time audience as well. We haven't seen a modern day retelling of Clark's first adventure as Superboy with the Legion of Super-Heroes, or the day Superman met Jimmy Olsen or the origins of Superman's long time enemies like the Parasite and Metallo. More importantly, Clark Kent himself will be explored in his earlier years in a way I don't think he's ever been explored before. And freaking Gary Frank, one of the greatest Superman artists in history already, is illustrating it. Every cover, every panel, ever line.
For long time readers, with the inclusion of the Legion of Super-Heroes back in Superman's history, General Zod introduced and all the other changes made post-Infinite Crisis nearly 3-years ago, they've been requesting a definitive secret origin. Man of Steel was brilliant and Birthright was a beautiful book, but Superman: Secret Origin will be what lines right up for the modern day monthly books. It will feature new looks at the origin of not only Superman, but some of his greatest allies, enemies and supporting cast and it will tie into everything Gary and I have done so far on Action Comics as well as setting the stage for the future."

"A page from DC's official style guide, but with an added little bonus for all us graphic designers out there--the Pantone color swatches to be used for each character!"
Being a designer, I love this chart so much.

I worshiped early Diana as a kid (so gay then). When I was about 8 or so, I recall seeing promos on TV, "Live from Paris - Diana Ross" for weeks. When it finally was to be aired, my parents made me go to bed as the snuggled on the couch. I was so mad. It took me 30 years to realize that they wanted some adult time. To this day, I have never
seen that show.

Superman Defeats the KKK
After World War II, the human rights activist Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK and other racist/terrorist groups. Concerned that the organization had links to the government and police forces, Kennedy decided to use his findings to strike at the Klan in a different way. He contacted the Superman producers of the radio show and proposed a story where the superhero battles the Klan. Looking for new villains, the producers eagerly agreed. To that end, he provided information — including secret codewords and details of Klan rituals — to the writers. The result was a series of episodes, “Clan of the Fiery Cross,” in which Superman took on the Klan. Kennedy intended to strip away the Klan's mystique. The trivialization of the Klan's rituals and codewords was perceived to have had a negative impact on Klan recruiting and membership.

The best revenge song title ever, "Bust Your Windows". I dedicate it to my second ex-husband. Fourteen or so years ago, I wish that I have had the balls to do it.
