I'm sorry. I must have posted half a dozen things lately where I thought about it afterwards and went, "Oh, that's going to make Johana think of Alex."

My husband is a huge Silver Age DC fanboy, frequently arguing with me about why DC is better than Marvel. When I got back into comics a few years ago he'd often ask what DC was doing. I'd flail around helplessly and stammer, "Just don't ask. You don't want to know."

When the DCnU started I broke down and told him about the last three reboots. He was silent for a long time, then said, "So DC is courting the weak-willed beta male market." When I told him about the Starfire debacle he said, "That's it. We are never buying a DC comic again."

DC is supposedly doing all this to woo back older male former comic book readers. Around here at least its failing spectacularly in that regard.
