You think Haikuesday is silly, eh? You think it's all my head, huh? All I know is, when the DC Universe itself cries out for aid, it does so
in haiku (JSA 77) ...
Well, THAT's creepy.
So Airwave and Donna Troy zip off to help the Universe in Its Entirety, I guess. The issue was billed as a Day of Vengeance tie-in, but it felt more like a Rann-Thanagar thing. Regardless, when the Universe cries for help in haiku, you know it's serious.
What haiku can you compose to sympathize with the plight of the DC Universe, comment on the stupidity of Hal's idea of slicing New Chronus in half, or wonder at the concept of "Airwave to the rescue"?

How about this:
If there were decent
creative teams on the flag-
ships then: no "All-Stars"
Of course we would be
free from the creepy high school
janitor Batman.
What's the deal with that?
Calling Robin retarded?
Out of character...
Airwave! Is he a
savior like Barry Allen
or OMAC fodder?
Universe ending?
Not before Aquaman gets
giant squid lovin'
Diana dying?
Looks like Donna is taking
Over the lasso.
Batman's goin' nuts.
Who will become the new knight?
Dick Grayson will. Yawn.
Golden Age Kal-L
May be behind the Crisis?
Ask again later.
Could Power Girl be
the sole survivor of the
destroyed multiverse?
Anti-Monitor
is the unseen hand behind?
Seems too obvious.
Infinite Crisis:
the most fun I've had reading
DC in a while.
Goodbye, Superman
Universe dying, me glad
Hello, Bizarro

You are the smarter of the
Hal Jordan cousins
Zip away, fly on
Join Donna Troy in her task
Bring Vibe back to us
Ted believed there was
A conspiracy at work.
Maybe he was right.
Rapey dead z-list
Too late to save universe
Geoff Johns in control
Goddammit, Maser!
My new code name is Maser!

Maser belonged to
the Captains of Industry.
Hal'd rather forget.
I smell fried chicken!
Will Condor's corpse get angel

I have always thought
That Air Wave was kinda hot.
Uh! Built-in e-stim.
The Flashes never
Survive Crises now do they?
¡AndalĂ© Wally!
Airwave! Airwave! He's
our man, if he can't do it,
the Universe dies!
...
It's down to Airwave?
I don't think I'll be making
any longterm plans.
I am not reading
Any one of these comics
Here's my haiku, though.
When Guy Gardner said,
"Maser? I hardly know 'er!"
Everybody laughed.
