Concern flashed across Bruce’s face. “Are you drunk? It doesn’t matter. What are you doing here in Stu’s office?”

“Ah, well that’s a tale even older than the language in which it was written. You see when a man loves a woman very much…”

He sighed.

“Okay, I’m sorry. I’m just taking the piss. I’m fine.” I used my foot to subtly hide the half full bottle of scotch lying on the floor next to my chair. “I’m acting CEO of olilolo while Stu is away marrying his child-bride.”

“True, but he started those rumours about me passing out naked in the city fountains.”

“That wasn’t Stu that was the papers. Remember, you have the article framed in your office? “City drunk takes a dunk” was the unimaginative headline if I recall.”

“I see. Well how can I help you then?”

Slew-do

“I say Mrs White, it seems there’s be a lot of homicide around here lately.” “Homicide? Whatever are you talking about?” “Well Colonel Mustard slaughtered that poor soul with a candle stick last week.” “Yes.” “…and Professor Plum disembowelled another a few days prior with a dagger in the Lounge.” “It was hardly disembowelled as much as a light stabbing Mrs...

Comic Book Movies They’ll Never Make: Animal Man

So Comicon has wrapped up again for another year, passing into memory with a whiff of body odour and the squeaking of more PVC than is generally wise. It’s brought another flurry of announcements from major comic publishers and movie studios, getting people exciting for movies about to drop like Guardians of the Galaxy, and movies further off, like every other Marvel movie for the rest of time. DC’s contribution has been mostly...
