My Father’s Day Gifts to Myself

Super-Paranoid, I guess
Perhaps it’s just me, but I have a hard time letting go of my skepticism regarding some issues when I’m reading a comic book. The whole secret identity thing is getting a bit impossible to believe.

“Wonder Woman” TV Revamp Not Happenin’
The Wonder Woman relaunch will not be launched.
