I've been rereading JL8 and in the commentary I came across this, " I want to express a huge thank you to my friend and former roommate, Tyson Hesse, for giving me a shout out on his Twitter to bring some of you to my humble little site. " As in former Halforumte Tyson Hesse?

Anyway, if you haven't read JL8, it's a webcomic that reimagines the Justice League as 8 year-olds attending grade school. It starts off as a gag-a-day type strip, but like most webcomics it eventually evolves into kick-you-in-the-feels moments.

That strip makes me tear up. The Flash, a speedster, saying "don't rush him" and slowing down to help someone in crisis shows excellent understanding of the character and what it means to be a superhero.

The latest strips have Bruce/Batman spending an evening with the Kents, and I'm so glad that the strip is updating again.

It hasn't been hitting my RSS, so I guess I need to update it.
 
Didn't we talk about JL8 in this thread once? I swear it was because of you guys I started reading it years ago. And I know updates got spotty for a while. I'll need to go check it again.
 
I still remember when some guy tried to talk shit to Rittz because Rittz was criticizing Phil Foglio, and he just pointed to his webcomic and was like "I know more than you."
