Things That Made Me Happy...

in my comics this week.

• What Meltzer mind-wipeth, Dini forgiveth away.
• Nightwing reads Talia's beads.
• The Great Mother? Certainly didn't expect to see HER!
• Skrull Dr. Octopus? Excellent.
• Lex, upstaged by a Kryptonian. It'd be funny, if it weren't so-- no, actually it's just funny.
• Panda's not only not dead... he's improbably hot.
• The origin of Scarface.
• Nightwing, on the plastic surgeon's association.
• Mary Marvel's hair. Fabulous, really.
• A skeleton in a female Chronos costume.
• "I am Truth. I am Knowledge. I am lost."
• Kryptonese covers. Not enough of those in comics, I say.
• Red Tornado wondering out loud why he's a total idiot who's always the first JLAer to get taken out of commission.
• Jonah Hex is a perfect hero; smart enough to deduce what no one else could, but dumb enough to fall for the oldest trick in the book.
• Ron Troupe? Really? Ron Troupe? Okay, if you say so... .
• Alexander Gradet's first comic book was a really good one. He writes Flash and Mary Marvel better than anyone else has been lately!
• Rann versus Thanagar, baby. I'm totally there, waiting for the steadfast Thannies to kick the patooties of those spineless Rannies. Again.
• Nightwing rides the subway. Briefly.
• Captain Comet briefs the Justice League on why Earth is safe.
• Bizarro versus Non. Rrr!
• Spider-Man telling Spider-Man how annoying he is.
• Batman without half his intelligence.
• God, could Sardath be any more contemptible...?!
• The Story of the Human Flame in full, glorious color. Somehow, color just makes it that much gayer.
