			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My apologies for the paucity of posts. I&#8217;ve been slammed with work, a baby who just keeps getting sick, and side-jobs.</p>
<p>On the plus side, my other blog &#8211; techcitement.com &#8211; has been going great guns. We had over 400,00 hits on one day last week <strong>alone</strong>. So I&#8217;ve got that going for me which is awesome.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hoping to get back to this site soon, with weekly posts at the very least.</p>
<p>Thank you for your patience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Comic stories are fantastic tales, and require a lot of suspension of disbelief. You have to believe a man will fly for a bit. However, everyone has some thing or things that sets them off and breaks there SoD.</p>
<p>As a born and raised Bronx boy, I had one of those moments with the fourth issue of the fantastic new Daredevil run (and if you are not reading this, you hate freedom).</p>
<p><img src="http://luchins.com/dickery/Daredevil4no_lion_cage_bronx_zoo.jpg" width="480"></p>
<p>With respect to Mark Waid, the Bronx Zoo hasn’t had their big cats in cages since I was a wee young’n. I have vague recollections of seeing <a href="http://www.architectmagazine.com/design/from-lions-to-lemurs.aspx">the Big Cat House</a>’s cages filled with wonderful creatures, but they&#8217;ve long since shifted to open habitats. This is, of course, what the art shows.</p>
<p>Amazing how one tiny caption can make me go “But&#8230; wait” but the concept of a blind ninja lawyer with radar powers is totally okay.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say, the cancellation of Mister Terrific is not coming as a shock. I always enjoyed Michael Holt in the JSA, and was really looking forward to this series. Alas, he went from being the quietly badass third smartest man in the world to a guy who spouted lines like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://luchins.com/dickery/MisterTerrific1black_guy.JPG" width="480"></p>
<p>I have the hardest time finding any of the dialogue natural, especially the bit where he calls himself “black guy”. </p>
<p>Then he does it again in issue four:</p>
<p><img src="http://luchins.com/dickery/MisterTerrific_4.jpg" width="480"></p>
<p>How horribly cliche.</p>
<p>Congratulations DC: You managed to take one of the few heroes with no blackspliotation tones and turn him into one of the crowd. That’s as bad as, I dunno, deciding to make a Batman of Africa, like it’s this one tiny place or like that’s the only place that can have a black Batman.</p>
<p>Oh wait.</p>

<p>I actually heard that “needle scratching on the record” sound when I read it.</p>
<p>I get that saying &#8220;backside&#8221; might be too &#8220;risque&#8221;, but they couldn’t have said cheek?</p>
<p><em>In some personal news, I was woken up yesterday by a steady dripping sound. Shades of two years ago &#8211; a leak had sprung. I am now the proud owner of a kitchen with a gaping hole in it and no idea how to pay to fix it. Awesome.</em></p>
<p><em>Coincidentally,  you may have noticed a &#8220;donate&#8221; button on the upper right side of the site. Because no, I am not proud.</em></p>
