"So it's clear the best
Course of action is simply
To let you kill me."
Ah, Nabu (you know --- the guy in the Dr. Fate helmet). He's had his less than shining moments, but when he tricked the Spectre into killing him, sacrificing himself to save others, he had the class to go out with a haiku.
I didn't notice it when I read the Day of Vengeance special, but sharp eyed Absorbacommenter Joe Hennes did. Thanks, Joe!
So what haiku can you compose to celebrate the selflessness of Dr. Fate, the re-incarnation of the Spectre, or the astuteness of Joe Hennes himself?

Why tease us with the
Possibility of a
Detective Chimp Fate?
Simian magic
Could have been the guiding force
Starting the 10th Age
Now the helm is lost
With a Captain Marvel throw
Into low orbit
Coming back to land
Just like Blue Beetle's scarab
Unoriginal
Random helmet toss
Means scrappy everyman Fate
This revamp will blow
Bud-da Bump bump bump.
Another Fate bites the dust.
My apathy grows.
while i am a corpse
i will talk to King Kirby
for inspiration
Spectre re-reborn
Hope this time he wears more than
a cape, gloves, and briefs
Verify word is
"ooowwf," sounds just like Hal Jordan
Hit his head again
When Nabu remarked
"Throw my hat into the ring"
Didn't mean Saturn's
Spectre will have his
Vengeance unless he is drawn
By Tom Mandrake
With everyone dead
The Kingdom Come future lied
Damn you Alex Ross
Spectre's fashion sense:
His speedo matches his gloves.
Where's Mr. Blackwell?
Dr. Fate--it's said--
Under his golden helmet,
Hides chronic acne.
Dr Fate's shoulders-
Padded, much like Bea Arthur's.
Her dick is bigger.
I apologize.
Prior haiku? Too easy.
Shan't mock Golden Girls.
Astute Joe Hennes
notices Nabu haiku -
Ten points go to him!
Now, if only I
could get rid of this yellow
collar. So fruity looking.
Look at me: Doctor
Banana! Why don't the kids
stop laughing at me!
Wasn't sacrifice.
I'm too ashamed to exist.
Doc Strange is better.
So now Doctor Fate
Becomes some random guy? Ha!
Some Lord of "Order"!
Strike me down, Spectre,
And I shall become - uh-oh,
Lucas on the phone.

Strike me down, Spectre,

Lucas wants some cash
for the whole Nabu/Naboo
thing as well, the jerk.
Doc Fate, Blue Beetle,
Aquaman all get replaced.
Comic fans yawn,
But new series will
bring them back soon: "Brother Pow
er: Sword of the Geek."
Joe, you rock my world
Pointing out DC haikus
Which Scipio missed
