One of the more peculiar aspects of the DC Comics Relaunch was the edict reported by Bleeding Cool that the female characters all cover up their legs, a departure for the common tight fit swimming costumes that showed a lot of thigh and that in some cases indicated special shaving But what to do when[...]

Where is Mike? At E3, the slacker, but we get Aaron of A Comic Shop in Florida, solo, showing concern for Bleeding Cool's source at DC (singular, Aaron?), but then showing so much love for the DC Relaunch news so far.

I once heard of an American newsreader who described Nelson Mandela as "African American".
