This is right up there with the old “Spider-Man: Threat or Menace” Bugle headlines?
“Does Brother Blood’s sweat taste like ice cream or candy? Tune in next week!”
I feel like I’m watching coverage of the current US Presidential race.

“Brother Blood: A great cult leader, or the GREATEST cult leader?”

I always found it interesting that Wolfman chose a jowly, errr….hag, to be the frontperson for Brother Blood’s organization.
The toughest female cop on the beat is usually a buxom beauty, but a frontperson for a youth-oriented cult is Walter Cronkite’s older sister??

I’m so glad you said sweat.
It was a last minute edit, wasn’t it?

wait Bethany! I have a question:
“Was that Brother Blood offering to help Britney after Dr. Phil betrayed her?”

Has America ever had a political figure who wasn’t also a religious figure? Or the other way around? Interesting questions to ponder.

For G*d’s sake, his name is Brother Blood! Imagine the headlines: Blood, last hope for world’s peace!
BLOOD, last hope for democracy!
Blood, greatest religious leader!
What is wrong with that journalists?

Why is it whenever a comic book uses a “respected” member of the media to front for some diabolical menace and spread disinformation to undermine the heroes (and don’t think I don’t see you standing close to Wolfman and Perez, John Byrne), they not only make it a woman, but also some sort of Barbara Walters knock-off?

Shiai – because Barbara Walters was huge back then. There were knock-offs of her all over comics and cartoons.
Comics moved on to CNN’s talking heads (Dark Knight Returns) and right wing radio hosts (G Gordon Godfrey in Superman or Justice League) as they became more popular.

Baba Wawa could easily make Brother Blood cry for his mother…

I love that closing line “Think for yourself”. It’s almost like the broadcast cut off just in time for the viewers not to hear her add “you stupid morons!”

“Next up here at Fox News…
Brother Voodoo! Danger or menace?
Following the special network premier of “Undercover Brother” and an encore of last night’s showing of “Brother From Another Planet”.

I read the closing line as “Until next week, think for yourself” (Then tune in and I’ll TELL you what to think.)

That’s no woman, man, that’s a man, man. Or a man-woman, man.
