Remote Controlled Airplane… Shaped Like a Superhero

I think we all know how this goes. You buy yourself a $300 RC superhero, painstakingly put it together, take it out to the nearest large field on the soonest clear day, set up its launching stand, make sure all the batteries are in right, it launches in a blaze of aerodynamic glory…

And then with a simple mistimed flick of a joystick, you slam it right into the nearest tree. Ever hopeful that you might find the time, energy, and proper tutorial to fix it someday, you prop it up in the garage to gather dust and George of the Jungle jokes.

And yet… I still kind of want one… you know. For, uh, research purposes.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
