Madame Mirage<\/a><\/em> (2008) Paul Dini and Kenneth Rocafort<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Oh! That was lovely!<\/p>\n

Well, not lovely lovely. I mean, it was violent and lots of bad things happened. <\/p>\n

But it was a fabulous story of revenge and consequences.<\/p>\n

It also took a quick poke with a sharp stick and hero and gender stereotypes–yeah, I know. I see the cover and the full butt and boob pose and the heels, but really–trust me.<\/p>\n

And really, that’s about all I can say without giving everything away. So, you’ll just have to trust me, and read it.
