Things We Saw Today: What Bruce Wayne Is Thankful For

Curt Franklin and Chris Haley of Let’s Be Friends Againput together a very special series of Thanksgiving comics featuring several superheroes. Characters like Aquaman, Harley Quinn, Wolverine and Beast Boy tell us what they’re thankful for this year. Some of them may shock you but mostly they’ll just make you chuckle. What else did we see on this gobble gobble day… 

• Your Inspirational Motivational of the Day from the Daily What features Monique van der Vorst. She lost the use of her legs after a botched surgery to correct an ankle problem when she was 13. However, she kept her passion for sports through handcycling and became a world champion and silver medalist in the 2008 Paralympic Games. A tragedy from another cyclist crashing into her later on actually turned into a miracle. “During her stint in rehab, van der Vorst suddenly started regained feeling in her legs. It wasn’t long before she was back on her feet for the first time in 13 years.”

• Wired’s Lab-Tested, Muppet-Vetted Formulas for Smartifying Your Life includes how to get in shape, how to eat spaghetti, how to find a soul mate and more!

Francis Manapul’s The Flash title may be doing well in the DC relaunch but it seems the real-life superhero is down on  his luck. Won’t you ask for an extreme piggy-back ride? (via Fashionably Geek)
