Has Jason Aaron discovered the secret of Alan Moore’s writing?: Maybe. (Via Comics Reporter)

“Caped Crusaders Face Jell-O Shots in Superhero Crawl”: Wired covers a superhero bar crawl, complete with a Q-and-A interview with Gator Lanphear and Matt Goedert of Reno, Nevada’s Drunken Justice League. “Most of the heroes seem to be affected by Jell-O shots,” they say. “It’s their kryptonite, so the villains are always trying to buy them multiple rounds.”  I hope Lex Luthor is taking notes…

“Cavs owner’s letter mocked for Comic Sans font”: Writing for CNN, John D. Sutter examines the reaction to Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert’s angry letter in reaction to basketball player (and comic book character!) LeBron James leaving Cleveland. (Thanks to Mark Coale at The Beat for reminding me of the existence of 2004’s King James)

But there is no defense for Comic Sans: In a regular column entitled “In Defense of the Medium” (Comics still need defended?), Primary Ignition’s Chris Kromphardt expresses surprise at the hatred everyone’s least-favorite font, Comic Sans, generates.

Oh wait, I can’t go a whole post without talking about Wonder Woman’s new costume, can I?: Here’s the latest response from Project: Rooftop, featuring several artists drawing the new costume (“Like a lot of official redesigns, this one’s looking stronger as more artists tackle it,” writes Dean Trippe), and some pretty amusing cartoons submitted to P:R, which include Superboy and Big Barda’s reactions. In other P:R news, they’ve just announced their next superhero costume redesign contest: Captain America.
