I just love this issue so much…

Chapter three totally rips us off by not having an awesome title. Instead, it just has a massive car wreck.

How’s that for an awesome title?

This comic is just special, and as such it is getting special treatment. I’m basically encapsulating the entire comic, because it’s just this great, fun, zany comic that then… well, that’d be telling. Still, totally worth an entire week as far as I’m concerned and well, my blog, so you’re stuck with my (poor) taste.

Also, I ask a favor of the historians in the room. This is a fairly easy story to find, and I am sure you could skip ahead. If you do, cool. Just please don’t spoil it in the comments. Pretty please with sugar on top.

With that said, on with the show!

Since Typo brought up lingual shifts yesterday, I thought this was a good time to visit Gay City.

All right, all right. I always think it’s a good time to visit Gay City.

Superman #7 Features what May be the Greatest Story of All Time. Why?

Because it’s set in Gay City.

What do we know about Gay City?

Well, we know that there’s a strange malady that seems incurable.

We also know that it’s no place for a woman.

Superman’s excited. Wonder why?

Ah. Up for a wee bit of R&R I suppose.

I wonder if he’s a top or a bottom…

This one’s kind of a gimmie:

It took me a second look to realize exactly what was going on with this cover. (more…)

Remember how I was commenting about how some heroes seem to always let their attractive female arch-foes (what is plural of “nemesis” anyway?) escape after hurting people?

In World’s Finest #2, Superman scares a confession out of a bad guy in a very Batman-esque way.

Howdy, y’all. Site Admin Matt behind the keyboard again. Typo’s letting me continue the Best Of series on a weekly basis, so every Sunday morning you’ll be finding an awesome post from the past.

This week I pulled one from October 2008. I’ve never actually read a Pol Manning issue of Green Lantern (the closest I got was a page in Zero Hour, which has NOT aged well, by the way), and it sounds like a cool idea. I may have to hunt some down.

In the 58th century, there arose a trouble so great that the people of Earth felt the need to use time travel to recruit the famous Hal Jordan to be their “Solar Director”. Basically, every time there was a crisis, they’d pull Hal from the past, then brain-wash him and have him be Pol Manning, intrepid explorer, hero, and puppet dictator.

It was a brilliant plan, really.

So what’s the flaw, you ask?

That’s right Iona, just close your eyes and think of Earth.

Footnote: In the 80’s, the Green Lantern Salakk was yanked to be Pol Manning instead of Hal Jordan. As Salakk was quite alien, they decided to brainwash Iona so she’d continue playing her role.

The future. Such a bright place to be!
