Mounting (as it were) feelings of dread...

[snakebitcat]

Was going over the spoilers thread about "52" on the DC Comics message board, and found the following items that, when I took them as a whole, gave me cause for fear:

15. The Ultimate Insult: A beloved DCU character no longer of the living will have their grave defaced in a shocking act.
18. Ralph Dibny: The Next Step: Nobody in the DCU has suffered more in the past two years than Elongated Man, but in 52, Ralph Dibny tries to move on in way that will shock you.
29. Ralph Gets Some!: Mr. Dibny finds himself getting busy with somebody other than his beloved Sue. Who's the lucky lady (or fella)?
41. JLA=S.E.X.: Two former Justice Leaguers you would NOT expect will bump uglies by year's end. Awk-ward!
44. Not That There's Anything Wrong With That: A new gay character make their first appearance in 52, before moving on to their own ongoing series.

So Ralph fucks Ray Palmer on Sue's grave? What is this, JLA: Brokeback Mountain?

At least they'd sell plenty of copies to yaoi fans, I guess...

I would take all of this with a grain of salt.

As for women and comic books shops. I know two shops run by women. True, the gender balance is still "un," but it is improving.

Some nights, you just have to choose dollops of paranoia over grains of salt, is all. ;)

I honestly do not see Ralph pulling a Jodie on us. Marvel already did that with Flatman of the GLX.
