Things That Made Me Happy...

... in my comics this week.

  • Actually, the kiss kind of makes sense.  I'm okay with it.  But it will, of course, never work out between them.
  • Now the Flash is almost as fast as it used to be slow.
  • Well, that's the most interesting Black Mask has ever been.  Although certainly not the most comprehensible.
  • I'm looking forward to seeing David make it up to Hartley. Yeah, I'd rent that.
  • Wow, Dr Elias is pretty much Luthor without, you know, conscience.
  • A-a-a-and there's the wind up for Justice League of America...
  • After what feels like ten years of trying,  Geoff Johns finally make me like Hal Jordan, and in only two pages.
  • See? I told you Aquaman should lead the Justice League.
  • I now need more than two hands to count the number of times I've seen Aquaman make the "I'm going to kill Black Manta" speech. I'm thinking of turning them into a collage.
  • Power Internalization!  Smart move, a logical development, and efficiently handled, Mr Manapul!
  • "And don't call me Monkey!"
  • Okay, Mera lied to Aquaman for years about who she really was, so I thinks it's quite fine that he never told her about his old war buddies.
  • Wait, did I just see Titano poop out a piece of red K in downtown Metropolis?
  • The Rogues' second rule.  Nice repudiation by Manapul of a bad misstep by Johns.
  • Lois fixing Clark's hair.  She totally knows.  She just doesn't care.

Heh; it has been a while hasn't it?

And put me on the list of those who missed it.

Scipio said...

LOL, I have never understood why people enjoy this feature at all....

Because it's a riddle that prods us to investigate comics we otherwise wouldn't have considered. I have been getting "Batman" thanks to you, I'm not sure it would have happened otherwise.

A clarification please. I just got "Green Lantern" #12, "Green Lantern Annual" #1, and "Green Lantern Corps" #1. Were the critical two pages in there somewhere? I didn't see anything that felt out of the ordinary for Hal.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I like reading positive comments about comics that aren't mindless praise. The hints you give are more interesting than simple reviews. Hell, I'm actually tempted to read Justice League, and I loathed the JL issues I've read to date.

The critical Hal Jordan pages are in "Justice League"

Where's "And don't call me Monkey!" from, other than the Hudson Brothers?

@TotalToyz Superman Family Adventures.

That makes sense. Thanks, Randy. (I wonder how many folk got the Hudson Brothers reference; or if it was even intended or just a coincidence?)
