Nice Dialogue.

Mar 31, 2006 in Sexuality, Superman, What Were They Thinking

You can’t see this, but I’m fanning myself right now.


Superman Pulls a Boner.

Mar 30, 2006 in Superman, What Were They Thinking

Really.

Listen missy, while yes, many of us do it, we don’t all. And those who do are usually a little uncomfortable discussing it with a bunch of kids.


Maybe The Wookie Defence Would Work?

Mar 29, 2006 in Superman, What Were They Thinking

First, a pretty basic nit:

This girl’s obviously supposed to be a witness, yes? So why is Superman in the stand and she standing there? It just does not make sense. Did this cover artist never have Jury duty?

That said, I would not want to be Kal-El’s defense attorney right about then.


Two Today.

Mar 28, 2006 in Sexism, Sexuality, Superman, What Were They Thinking

1) More About Those Darn Girls.

Dames sure are flighty, ain’t they? All they think about are clothes.

2) Superman, Lover of Animals.

“Don’t judge me with your puny human morals!”


What a Happy Chap.

Mar 27, 2006 in Captain America, What Were They Thinking

I like Robert Kirkman, really I do.

But the below dialog and something the artist did makes it interesting…

I did not think killing Captain America would have that effect. But then again, I haven’t been fantasizing about it since I was 11.

Marvel Team Up V2 #15, before everyone asks..

Some Superdickery

Mar 24, 2006 in Superman, What Were They Thinking

A rampage of dickery, that is.

He must be a lot of fun at parties.

That’s not all though!

Someone explain to me how that’d work please.

Smarmy bastard, isn’t he?

Now this I get. Who wouldn’t do something like this to their boss who had the chance?

Okay, here are the two toppers:

Wow Lois has some self-esteem issues.

And the real topper?

By the time I got to this issue I was so used to Superman being a dick that I didn’t notice anything was “off” until I reached that last panel!

There are now roughly 1300 daily readers of this LJ. Performance Anxiety? I’m sure I don’t know what you mean.

A (Sort of) Companion to Yesterday’s Cover.

Mar 23, 2006 in Superman, What Were They Thinking

Superman fights a balding, hairy man who wears only underpants and a vest, both seemingly made of leather.

No, this is not fanfic, it is real.

I’m scared.

Hold me.

I’m also slightly intrigued about Cary Bates’s home life now.


I Want a Poster of This Cover.

Mar 22, 2006 in Bondage, Superman

I’m going to show this to someone the next time they say, “Remember the good old days, when comics were for kids?”

I love Lois’s expression in the background:

“Crap! All this time he wanted to be dominated! That’s what I’ve been doing wrong.”


LL Doom For The Man Of Steel!

Mar 21, 2006 in Creepy Relationships, Sexuality, Superman, What Were They Thinking

Let this be a lesson to you all kids, always use protection.

Place your bets folks, who do you think gave him the VD: Lois, Lana, Lori or Lex?

I bet it was Lori. Filthy mermaids.

(and the burning is a nice touch)


I Have a Few Questions About This Scene.

Mar 20, 2006 in Superman, What Were They Thinking

1) Why exactly were the Editor and a photographer alone in the stockroom?

2) Why was the intercom left open?

3) Are 1 & 2 connected, and if so, how many laws is Perry breaking?

4) And why aren’t Lois and Superman as disturbed as I am?
