Things That Made Me Happy....

...in my comics this week.

• Topo.  Unlike the Atlanteans, I'm always delighted to see Topo.  Although I suppose we won't be seeing him play any instruments any more.
• "You enormous oaf."  GODS, I just LOVE that man.  He's really the only person who could/would say such a thing.
• Third-world terrorists? The real world.  Third-world terrorists in high-tech ant costumes?  Comic books.
• Is Swatt the new version of one of my favorite supervillains from the Pfeiffer-Gleason Era?
• I think Dr Veritas is only studying the hideous body-horror results of alien-mutant-viral proliferation so that she can do something about her hair color.
• So, do you think they took something out of that Atlantean or put something into him? Because those stitches are there for a reason.
• Always good to see Lion-Mane, although I prefer him with fewer limbs.
• Hm. I didn't recognize "the Boss".  But I suppose it no longer matters, eh?
• Like Batman, I found that funny.
• Scavenger may not be a very flashy villian, but he's obviously pretty slick.
• Reading "super-immune-system" gave me a Silver Age rush.
• So did the "vapor bats". 
• Why "Dr. Fate" has a silly name.
• Speaking of silly names, I don't know that they've ever actually called it "the Tumbler" in comics books before, but I was amused they did.
• Never has the Penguin used an umbrella more poignantly.
• Looks like Grant Morrison's version of Lex Luthor lasted about as long as a sneeze, and had much less impact.
• Well, that's a place I didn't expect Mera's husband to show up, and apparently neither did she.
• Batman hates sarcasm.
• ATTACK OF THE SPHINX!  Where's Prof. McElroy when you need him?
• Speaking of which, I couldn't read that final narration box in Batwing without hearing William Dozier's voice. If that's how it's going to be, count me in.
