Here’s Some Turnabout
As a user on the “Cheezeburger Network” keeps taking panels I’ve scanned and sometimes even jokes from your comments to make captions, I thought I’d borrow one of their memes… “I’ve seen enough Hentai to know where this is going”. I beg your patience, folks. The toddler has been doing poorly and my Far Better…

Late Post Today
Sorry, folks.

Suspension of Disbelief
Comic stories are fantastic tales, and require a lot of suspension of disbelief. You have to believe a man will fly for a bit. However, everyone has some thing or things that sets them off and breaks there SoD. As a born and raised Bronx boy, I had one of those moments with the fourth…

The Worst Bit of the New 52
I have to say, the cancellation of Mister Terrific is not coming as a shock. I always enjoyed Michael Holt in the JSA, and was really looking forward to this series. Alas, he went from being the quietly badass third smartest man in the world to a guy who spouted lines like this: I have…

Typical Comic Book Scientific Method
In Superman #709, the Flash has become a menace. How? “Hey, this strange thing in the bottom of a crater looks like a hat. I think I’ll put it on!” Because, as always in comic books, what is the worst that can happen?

Magnetism!
Unknown fact about magnetism, folks. It is apparently yellow. Bonus: the next panel following: That is so very, very kinky.

That is Not the Saying!
I hate when comics do this. I guess I get why they didn’t use the actual saying, but… I actually heard that “needle scratching on the record” sound when I read it. I get that saying “backside” might be too “risque”, but they couldn’t have said cheek? In some personal news, I was woken up…

Contradictory Dialogue is Contradictory
The dialogue here should have had a bit more reworking before publication, Ah, no Hal. If you have a feeling of superiority, then it actually does mean something to you. Regardless though, what an insanely egotistical sequence. Holy cow. 1,469 hits yesterday! We’ve been breaking a thousand lately, but wow.

What? No!

The Adventures of Ted, Wonder Lover
Taken from a page of issue 60… Oh yeah, there’s the whole “how did getting the ability to see give the Lamplighter the ability to shapeshift”, but I noticed something else. It took the powers a half hour to wear off… wow, Gloria must have really been concentrating on Ted. Please tell me women really…

What an Origin!
Who is the Lamplighter, you ask? Good question. Let’s look at his origin! Also, yet another example of someone who could have been insanely rich just by using the thing that gave him his powers.

The Criteria For Becoming a Green Lantern
Remember that bubble yesterday? A Green Lantern must be honest and without fear? How’d Hal get the job again?

The One and Only Green Lantern, Folks!
Yay! Issue #59! The first appearance of almost no-body’s favorite Green Lantern. This cover set the pattern for just about every single Guy Gardner story ever until the late 90’s. For those unfamiliar with the character, we learn in this issue that Guy was the ring’s second choice for Green Lantern. He was just as…
