Look out! Here comes the Spider-Lizard!

What do you get when you cross Spider-Man with a lizard?  Apparently, a very popular pet according to this article.

This particular species of lizard is blue on the chest and legs and red on its back and head.  I suspect they messed with the photo a little for the article though, because all the other pictures of that type of lizard I could find had a much duller shade of red and blue.  Either way, it's still an incredibly cool looking lizard.

Now all we need is a red and yellow turtle to match the Flash's costume.  :)

Introduction to Me

Hello.  My name is Lady Momus.  My name comes from Momus, the Greek god of satire, mockery and writers.  Here are a few tidbits about me:

1) I'm a huge comics fan.  I like a lot of the shows and movies that Marvel has done, but when it comes to comics, I'm definitely a DC fangirl.

2) My favorite comic book was Justice Society of America, but now that Geoff Johns has left, the quality has gone down.  I'm hoping the new writers can hit their stride soon, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not holding my breath.  No offense to Bill Willingham and Matt Sturges.  I know the JSA is a difficult team to write stories for.  There are a lot of members to juggle, and you have to have a fairly extensive knowledge of the DC Universe just to understand who all the characters are.

3) Some of my favorite books which are no longer in print are Young Justice, ImpulseShadowpact and JSA.  Yes, I know I've listed Justice Society twice, but a JSA TPB is what got me into reading comics rather than just watching shows based on comic books.

4) I probably won't be posting every day, but when I do post, the posts will be fairly long.

5) This blog is about comics and superheroes, so anything and everything about them is fair game for a post topic.  (Well . . . almost anything.  I'd like to keep this blog PG to PG-13ish.)
