No regrets.
I’m not *saying* you should print these out and post them in your LCS (with permission) or hand them out at cons or whatever, but, well, it’d be an interesting idea, wouldn’t it? ;)
Aside from that, I was originally going to try to make Steph’s look like her missing poster in Young Justice, but I couldn’t resist.
EDIT: Added in QR codes. IDK if they’ll show up on your blogs, but since this is a photoset it should show up in everyone’s fullview images now, ideally.
Hehe, these are pretty clever!

A brief tribute to sneaky creators and their determination to sneak in Steph nods.
These guys are my FAVORITES.

Updates and OpBGInc Panel/Booth Potential
Sorry for the lack of updates recently. One of our mods has been traveling, the other just finally finished her second round of midterms (never major in physics) but has finals soon, and the third has a spotty internet connection, so we sadly haven’t been able to update much.
We’re going to be redoing Steph month as soon as we have the ability to update, given how fast March flew by, but with NYCC finally selling passes, we’d like to take a moment to turn our attention to a more interesting question.
NYCC has the ability for fan groups to make booths and panels.
So, what do you all think of an OpBGInc fan booth and/or an OpBGInc panel? Would that be something you all would be interested in attending? We can meet other fans, talk tactics, and, most importantly, kick up more notice by the powers that be over at DC.
Thoughts?
This certainly sounds like an AMAZING idea if we can make it happen!

Notes: 19 / 2 months ago from schizoauthoressThe Power Principle: The Trade Paperback
First off, thank you to everyone who helped make The Power Principle’s first arc a reality.
Now I’m hoping that you can help Alan again, this time by helping fund the full-coloring printing of the trade paperback edition.
In Alan’s own words:
As was always the plan when I set out to make the The Power Principle, the first eight issues is now headed for trade paperback, this time in full color!
The first arc of The Power Principle was made possible thanks to 189 Kickstarting friends. Digital Issues 1-4 are available for purchase at Graphic.ly or directly, DRM-free at The Power Principle blogspot, along with the print single issues.
Now that I’ve produced 4 issues, I know better what to expect as far as a realistic timetable. Currently, I am drawing issue #5, which will be published in April. Issue #6 is due in June, issue #7 in August, and issue #8 in October. I will be collecting them into the trade paperback in October and, after a month printing turnaround time, have them ready to ship in November.
While the single issues were all produced in grayscale, the trade paperback will be published in FULL COLOR! Tilting the odds in favor of this timeline, I’m already coloring the issues now.This Kickstarter is to fund the printing of your trade paperback. You pledge, and I use the funds to print and mail your book to you, anywhere you are in the world.

Notes: 48 / 2 months ago from constellation-funk (originally from daggerpen)The Squeaky Wheel: Are you actually shitting meThis has got to be one of the most tasteless things I have ever seen.
Stay classy, DC.
I feel like if DC making fun of a guy who used to be Robin a little bit is “one of the most tasteless things” you’ve ever seen, maybe…maybe don’t read superhero comics at…
I responded to you because I like you and you’ve been very supportive of me when I went out to make my own comic, which I’m still grateful for. I don’t not care about DC Comics, I choose not to let them effect my emotions unless they do something that involves the actual human beings who create them. There’s a difference. I’m bewildered that Batman comics can still do this to people, is all, that people still allow Batman comics to do this to them. I’m not trying to beef with you; I like you and I think you’re smart, and I think you’ve done good things in exposing the sexism in both the industry and the fandom. But it really, truly isn’t necessary to exert even the vaguest amount of strife over these comics. The only reason I’m even doing so now is because I’m argumentative by nature; after tonight these comics will cease to have any import to me and I will be a better person because of it.
I have to go change my insulin pump site now, but I hope I’ve made myself clear. I wish nothing but good will towards you.
*sighs* I’m sorry. It’s been a stressful day. (The first thing that happened this morning was that I got a call telling me not to bring my daughter to school because the place had been locked down.)
I’m truly glad you’ve gotten out, that DC can’t hurt you anymore. I’m happier than I can say that you’re turning your creative energy elsewhere. I’m working my way there, but it’s tough. I do have friends online that I don’t want to leave behind. I feel like there are still reasons to speak out, and that speaking out still has value.
And yet…I don’t think you’re wrong. More and more I am beginning to question whether the outrage we express just drives sales. More and more I’m becoming numb to the things they do, as they go to more and more disgusting extremes in transparent and increasingly cheap attempts just to get a reaction.
More and more, I just don’t care.
In the end, it’s not because I was angry that I stopped buying and reading their comics. It’s because I just didn’t care anymore. And as the company dies a slow, painful, agonizing death as bad as any they’ve ever inflicted on their characters, I’ve come to realize something. I don’t think anger will kill DC comics.
Apathy will.

Are you actually shitting me
This has got to be one of the most tasteless things I have ever seen.
Stay classy, DC.
I feel like if DC making fun of a guy who used to be Robin a little bit is “one of the most tasteless things” you’ve ever seen, maybe…maybe don’t read superhero comics at all.
I’m not even trying to be condescending, like, literally do anything else with your life. Batman matters too much to you. Just leave. Just drop all of it, wholesale. I haven’t been reading corporate comics for almost a year now and it feels fucking grand. You understand almost immediately that none of this matters at all and your emotional energy starts going in much healthier directions.
There are so, so many better things in the world to worry about. I know that it’s hella possible and in fact basically understood by anyone that isn’t trying to make a strawman that you can care about more than one thing at once but literally any amount of outrage aimed at mainstream comic books greater than 0% is a waste of your mental and spiritual faculties, unless that outrage involves staff being abused or cheated in some way. Stop looking at it like something that happened in a “world.” Stop playing their game. Look at it as an editorial decision that you don’t like and a disagreeable piece of continuity to be upheld for the foreseeable future and all of this disappears immediately.
The world is a big place, there are a billion trillion comics in the world that aren’t published by Marvel and DC and I can guaranmotherfuckingTEE you that more tasteless things than Editorial poking fun at Jason Todd happen in the world with every breath you draw.
Wash your hands of this. Nobody who has done so seems to regret it, myself included.
I haven’t actually bought or read a DC comic yet this year, and it’s been amazing how much better my life has been.
However, I’m still a part of the fandom and still a part of the community, like it or not. I think you must understand that, since you reblogged my post and since you still follow me. I mean, the majority of my tumblr to date is about comics, specifically DC comics. Why are you reading it, if you don’t care about DC comics anymore? Why are you wasting your time following someone who talks about something you no longer care about?
If I, after having been absent from tumblr for months because I literally have not had time for it, choose to reblog a friend’s post with a comment on it, that’s my prerogative. If I want to reconnect with the friends in the fandom and share their grief and dismay at the decisions DC has made that affect THEIR favorite characters, I will damn well do so.
Don’t assume that, just because you’ve read my tumblr, you know anything about me. You know nothing about me. Comics make up a tiny portion of my life. I just don’t choose to share the rest of it with the entire internet because it’s no one’s business but mine and my family’s. Don’t assume I’m doing nothing with my life, or that this is all I do, or that I’m not aware that there is pain and suffering in the world beyond the pages of comic books.
I have friends here. I have friends in real life, too, and they get a hell of a lot MORE of my time, sympathy, and energy than my online friends do. But that doesn’t mean that the friends I’ve made online don’t matter to me.
Please don’t tell me to drop my friends, my fandom, my interests, when it’s clear that you haven’t been able to do so.

Are you actually shitting me
@DCComics #DCHatesChildren A deep and hearty fuck you to the people at DC’s FaceBook, and to DC entirely.
http://www.facebook.com/dccomics/posts/363396283773473
The article itself: http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2013/02/28/52-reasons-the-bat-books-wrecked-us
A few choice quotes:
Please ignore the raggedness and puffy eyes. It’s… it’s been a rough 24 hours following the events of yesterday’s BATMAN INCORPORATED #8. For those of you who missed it, we suggest you check it out immediately. We’ll wait right here.
5.1 Literally Right in the Heart, Morrison!
(Yes. Yes, they included the actual shot of Damian being stabbed.)
Oh, and so we Jason fans don’t feel left out-
4. Poor, Poor Jason Todd
It’s in the heading, but it bears repeating: poor, poor Jason Todd, pretty much the Cousin Oliver of the Bat-Family. First the Joker beats you to death with a crowbar, then you went a little—okay, a lot—insane after being resurrected in the Lazarus Pits, and now we can’t even say, “Well, at least you’ve still got your boyish looks.” You just can’t catch a break dude. We’d give you some words of encouragement but at this point, we’re terrified that even the slightest bit of positivity toward you might cause the universe to retaliate by having your puppy killed.
I literally do not have the words to express my rage right now.
This has got to be one of the most tasteless things I have ever seen.
Stay classy, DC.
