SupermanUnderwearWatch: Hello citizen, this is Superman. I come to you for help spread my cause. DC Comics has decided to take my red underwear away!

TurkeyWatch: The Comic Strips in the Second Degree exhibition opens at the İstanbul French Institute in the city's Taksim neighborhood.
[it] is essentially based on parody takes, well-known fantastic and legendary heroes, and images from the cinema, literature, myth, television and art worlds, presenting them in the "second degree," with a satirical spin to form variations of a self or a personality that ultimately become characters themselves. Familiar names featured in the exhibition include Harry Potter, Robin Hood, Conan, Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes, various superheroes, characters from the television series "The Simpsons" and the Mona Lisa with her piercing gaze conveniently stifled by the head of a large duck.
FakeTimeSquareSpider-ManWatch: Watch out on Time Square for fake branded charity collectors;
Spiderman spends his days encouraging small tips from the parents of Peter Parker's biggest fans, wide-eyed little boys, while putting on a show of heroism by lifting pubescent girls off the ground as their friends eagerly snap action shots.

ForeskinWatch: The Foreskin Man comic still keeps getting press….
"This is generating a lot of attention that is pushing people to look into this a little bit more," Hess told The Associated Press. "The more you look into it, the worse it gets. It is a serious human rights violation. Now a lot of people are going to learn about circumcision and be thinking about it before the November ballot."
Critics agree that it is drawing attention _ but, they say, not support. In a June 8 editorial, the San Francisco Chronicle said the comic's "classic anti-Semitic imagery is inexcusable" and shows an "ugly undercurrent to the campaign."
"`Foreskin Man' provides yet another reason to vote against the circumcision ban," the newspaper stated.
This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.
They say I am a work in progress. The fools.

DC liked what it saw. Johns started out writing "Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.," a 1999 comic book with a character inspired by his sister, who died in the TWA 800 crash. He also cowrote "JSA" with David S. Goyer, an Ann Arbor native and Hollywood veteran who is writing "Man of Steel," the next Superman movie.
