Things That Made Me Happy
... in my comics this week.
- Xanshi as the anti-Mogo.
- Happy Magic Fun Swordgirl.
- Tiger Moth. Really? Tiger Moth. That's... amazing. Big points to the few of you who know who she is, without looking it up.
- Ouch. When RPG doesn't mean 'role playing game'.
- Hm. Musical notation is clearly very different on New Earth than it is here.
- The Shield's origin was very efficient!
- Fate's bluff.
- "This would be a good time to start climbing down the mountain."
- Sigh. Metropolis is so beautiful from above.
- I'm thirsty for some Atlantean mold samples.
- What happens to the grandfather clock.
- Carol Ferris, a pilot herself, resists autopilot. You go, Carol.
- Ah ha. The source of the 'Speed Force'. Clever. As usual!
- Have you ever noticed that heroes always, but always, fly past national landmarks? Is that, you know, in the flight plan?
- Okay. Monster Men like Batwoman. That was... unexpected.
- Thank you, J. Torres, for fleshing out the Great Ten, yet another of Grant Morrison's throwaway ideas.
- A free Mister Colon Cleanser!!!!
- "A boring lab rat was romanticized into the most selfless hero of his time."
- I want to re-position Jimmy Olsen's bookcase so badly, I can just taste it.
- LOL, the return of D-Bomb!
- Mattoon? As in the Mad Gasser of Mattoon? That's... really odd.
- So, who is that man suntanning on a mound of skulls?
- The Periodic Table of Deathtraps.
- I like Tom Tresser more and more.
- Um... well, whatever "Prof. Pyg" was, I won't miss him. Just another excuse for Morrison to write free-association dadaesque dialog, I'll wager.
- Sinestro's humiliating construct. That's just mean, even for Sinestro.
- Kate's outfit at the ball.
- Well, you can't blame Mammoth for that, now, can you?
- OOOooooo, Wildcat versus Magog, battle of the tongues.
- Why Max skipped through time. Oh, Geoff, you can make anything make sense in this crazy mixed-up world of ours! And you're dreamy.
- The Web working on behalf of the Shield. And, ah ha... the Inferno connection. And Dr. Dickering. Why, it's all one big Red Circle, isn't it?
- Wait, are we going to see Aquaman versus a dinosaur?
- "Did you just say... humble?" Batman really is a funny guy. Learned it from Alfred, I think.
- You know, being drugged and locked in the trunk of sinking car is just the sort of thing that does happen to the Question.
- Jimmy shows up. Slightly late.
- The charming understatement that Hal & Carol aren't "like Barry & Iris or Lois & Clark."
- Maggie's outfit at the ball. I laughed out loud.
- If Doctor Domino is not behind all of this, I will be sorely disappointed. As usual.
- "Greetings, fearful leader." I tell ya, these Black Lanterns have a wicked sense of humor!
- I like that Batwoman calls her father 'sir'.
- Good for you, Eddie Bloomberg.
- Even he calls him "Mr. Garrick".
- Krypto versus Hootie.
- Okay, I give up; I have no idea what H.S. stands for.
- Now, that is classic crazy comic booky Silver Age science; thanks, Geoff!
- I fully expect indie bands named 'Blume of Bobba' and "Glomulus of Poppo' within a year or two.
- Bette is her cousin? Oh, it's all so perfect.
- Of course that's what the Calculator wants Kid Eternity for. How stupid of me.
- Thanks, James, for remembering Odd Man and where he lives.
- Let's all try to remember that Dr. Fate does have an M.D., you know.
- Agent Orange finally discovers something he doesn't want.
- Jimmy uses his watch. Slightly late.
- Prof. Thawne untangles some knots.
