Back From San Diego

I'd like to apologize to anyone who may be reading this for my absence over the last few days. It wasn't planned. But when Walter asked me -- at the last minute, that impulsive bastard -- to come to San Diego to take in the Comic-Con there, I simply had to go.

Peace and justice and all that.

After battling Omega Flight, sometimes it's nice to be reminded that some of the world's real-life villains are much more mundane.

Take, for example, these truly evil people:

I was more than a little shocked to encounter this brand of scum and villainy. It very nearly ruined my vacation.

Fortunately, I can say that fellow attendees of the Comic-Con knew precisely how to handle it:





The comforting thing about villainy is that, while it can be even more dangerous in its mundane forms, mundane villainy doesn't need superpowers -- or even electro-magnetic battlesuits -- to fight it.

When I suited up to battle Wendigo, I always approached it from a "don't try this at home" mentality. But when it comes to standing up to lunatics like the Westboro Baptist Church, I highly recommend trying it at home -- or anywhere they may happen to be.
