Women in refrigerators strike back.

[meganbmoore]

 (Ok, for anyone unfamiliar with "women in refrigerators," it refers to the tendency to off (or otherwise harm) women-usually girlfriends-so the heroes can angst and suffer, coined when Ron Marz had Green Lantern come home one day to find his girlfriend had been murdered and stuffed in the refrigerator for him to find.)

Anyway, via comments in a post of troubleinchina's, R.H. Milholland, creator of Something Positive, has a soon-to-be fridged woman objecting to the trend.  Strongly.

And in response to one of the finest and most casual cases of character butchering I have seen (thus killing the "I need to catch up on comics" urge that was building up) scans_dailyhas started an unofficial "When Jubilee Was Awesome" (read, "when they weren't having Jubilee casually betraying everything she ever stood for because it's the only way you can be cool and badass in superhero comics these days") week.

And for a bit of linkblogging not related to comics:

sartorias announced a prequel to Crown Duel.

webpetals posted on the Stargate: Continuum premiere.  No spoilers for the movie itself.

 ETA:  Also, has anyone read Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear?

The Jubilee thing mirrors my own vast disappointment when they started having Wolfsbane kill people.

Yeah, I would have said that one was as likely as Jubilee randomly deciding it was time to start killing her opponents. Until, you know, both happened. Maybe both can be skrulls?

It's sad that I'd even consider that to be a remotely acceptable resolution to this problem.
