Kittens Inspired By Kittens. This is probably the best YouTube video I have ever seen, and it has firmly convinced me that children are probably worth having in your life.

DC is bringing back Adventure Comics! And issue number zero (available now) is totally kicking it old school.
Adventure Comics was a big deal for a long time… it’s one of those staples of comic book history, like Detective Comics, Action Comics and the like. The fist issue came out in 1935. That’s a long time ago!
The last issue of Adventure Comics actually hit newsstands the day I was born… August 10th of 1983. That’s kind of weird, right? One of the benefits to being born on a Wednesday, I suppose.
I just decided that I’m going to buy every comic that comes out during the week of my kid’s birth. Then I’ll stash them away and they’ll make a great 21st birthday present (when the kid is old enough to appreciate that sort of gesture). I just hope that print media holds up long enough for me to have kids!

Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani’s Tiny Titans. Aside from the absolutely adorable art style and perfect characterizations, I really appreciate the G-rated situations using familiar DC comics characters. I’ve been reading a lot about Montessori education lately, and this would be a great stepping stone to get a child into reading. First Tiny Titans, then Teen Titans, then JLA and Tolstoy. Makes sense, right? I’m baby crazy right now, FYI.
