Redeeming Green Lantern #53
While GL 53 gets jeers for giving us Hal Jordan: Insurance Adjuster, it also brings back one of my favorite characters – psycho Sue! For those who don’t recall, Sue was a reporter who thought Hal’s brother Jim was Green Lantern. If that sounds familiar, it’s because she was essentially the Silver Age Lois Lane…

I’m Not Sure if I Still Attribute This To Lingual Shift
The below character has long been the butt of jokes in the comic book industry (indeed, I just did it myself). I think just about everyone has done it, most famously Grant Morrison. Yes, you guessed it…

Jill Stacy is Weird.
Anyone remember Gwen’s cousin Jill? They brought her in during Byrne’s run, where she was constantly making eyes at Peter, her new best friend’s husband. She wasn’t subtle about it either.

I Can’t Decide?
?is Peter Parker a dick, or is Deb Whitman a creepy stalker? She leaves him passed out on her couch for fourteen hours, rather than taking him to a hospital. She instead goes out and books tickets to a Broadway show, then prepeares a small feast. He doesn’t blink and just wanders out. Readers?

Betty Brant Amazes Me.
I know Secretaries are expected to have good phone skills, but this borders on the paranormal: She recognizes the sound of Doc Ock’s arms hanging telephone receiver up? Damn. Posting from Vagablog. Looks like the latest version of WordPress un-broke Vagablog and Hblogger. Yay.

Dames… Part II.
No-one is immune to Peter Parker’s Spider-Charm! I love the look on Reed’s face in the background. “Hussy.”

The FF Guest star in Daredevil #2…
…and they bring the misogyny from their own title with them. Seriously, I’ve already read over a hundred issues of Daredevil and have found a handful of panels. But man, put the FF in an issue and you get not one, but two panels about women. Sorry, I mean “females”. “Oh it’s true Mr. Nelson.…

Odd Definition of A Liberated Women.
It seems according to DC, a liberated woman is someone who breaks into your house and cooks you dinner, apron and all. Of course this is to apologize for being mad at you for talking to another woman. Oh, and you’re totally not a couple. Where I come from, we call those stalkers.

Again, I Have To Wonder…
Did no one at DC realize what these slang phrases meant. Sorry Lana honey, it looks like he only has eyes for Thom.

Querel, You’re Creeping Me Out Here.
Why is Braniac 5 watching two Legionnaires that are on leave? In their undies? With no indication that they are aware he’s watching them? Superboy, you shouldn’t be worried about it getting him “downâ€â€¦

For those who don’t know about Night Girl, she’s this borderline creepy stalker member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes who begged and whined till her daddy gave her superpowers so she could come to Earth, join the Legion, and have Cosmic Boy fall in love with her.
