Things That Made Me Happy...

in my comics this week.

  • "I, Vampire", Genius Jones, ghost pirate ships, Nazi gorillas, and Anthro encased in ice ... all in the same story.
  • Some CSI detectives finally noticed something odd about how one of the Spectre's victims died.
  • the Pre-Socractics portrayed as a sort of Secret Society of Super Philosophers.
  • Alexander the Great demonstrating the Aristotelean causes by giving someone a hotfoot.
  • Evil Skeets' explanation of what he is actually constructed out of; yeesh, that's creepy!
  • the fact that Metropolis still looks really beautiful with its spine snapped in half.
  • thank you, Mad Monk; now THAT is a deathtrap!
  • The Question's archenemy turns out to be... himself.
  • I really like Miss Martian (about 10,000 times more than that other special guest star).
  • At last, Batwoman will return next week!

    I! WAS! DEAD!

    I keep reading that panel with Paul Frees playing Bennett, and it keeps cracking me up every time.

    Yes, evil Skeets is turning out to be a lot of fun. But he's not REALLY evil...just lonely for Booster.

    That evil Skeets stuff was crazy. There was a lot of good in 52 this week.

    I was thrilled with how Mad Monk left off. I handed it to the closest person to me, pointed to the last panel, and said "Now THAT is a proper cliffhanger!"

    That scene with Evil Skeets made me cackle maniacally in appreciation, which in turn earned me odd looks from my roommates . . . which were pretty close to the same odd looks they give me when I'm laughing hysterically at one of Gail Simone's books.

    You read Action Philosophers this week? I thought you weren't allowed to read anything that didn't sport a DC logo.

    So confused...

    All seriousness aside, this feature of your blog, and also the earlier series about why I should be reading Manhunter, these are good stuff. Thanks to you I am reading Manhunter now, and if this keeps up I'll be reading 52 pretty soon, too. You've been wearing away my budgetary resistance, one tantalizing hint at a time. So thank you, I think.
