Things That Made Me Happy
in my comics this week.
oooooooooohhhhhhh....where's the Aquaman story line from Dan?
ReplyDeleteAlso where is the Huntress story you say you would like her if it was that way all the time...Birds of Prey? I love Huntress...didn't realize she was so hated.
All three Beetles in one story!
ReplyDelete*sigh* They always forget George...ever the quiet one...
I can't wait to read the DCU Holiday Special!!
ReplyDeleteMost of this week's goodness is in the DCU Holiday Special.
ReplyDeleteIf they did a monthly "DCU" anthology book that was like this one, I'd buy it.
All three Beetles!?! Where can this one be found? And may I assume these Beetle are azure?
ReplyDeleteNow I feel silly for having left my LCS with only a back issue of Superman: The Secret Years to show for it...

Si, ellos son los Escarabajos Azules.
ReplyDeleteIn the DCU Holiday Special.
aaaahhhh...I forgot that came out this week. I'll be getting it tonight...
ReplyDeleteHaving just finished the DC Universe Holiday Special I can honestly say I laughed and cried.
ReplyDeleteIf they did a monthly "DCU" anthology book that was like this one, I'd buy it.
ReplyDeleteI suspect a monthly might tax both readers and creators, but why not a quarterly? Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter-themed stories could work well. The "hooks" for the other seasons wouldn't be quite as obvious as for the Winter holidays, but you could have a lot of fun with it.
I must confess that I LOVE the Holiday Special books. They are always corny,and I always get a kick out of them.
ReplyDeleteI do have to say that Batman getting a tie, and John Stewart in a Santa Claus hat were the high points however.
Remember the Showcase series in the early 90s? Each issue had one long story and 2 short ones, often spotlighting a lesser known character, a member of a supporting cast, or even a tryout leading up to a new series. I would totally pick that up again.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I have a new job and now can't get my books until the weekend! This is awful.
I think we need a "Things That Creeped Me Out In This Week's Comics". I mean, was it just me, or did Dr Light's appearance in a Jonny DC title seem a little inappropriate after Identity Crisis? I just can't get behind (ugh, sorry) Doc Light as a Super Friends bad guy, trading light-hearted banter and then getting a Christmas present from the heroes while in jail...
ReplyDeleteI mean, it's just peachy for the target audience, and if they manage to reform the character, great! But as for me, I couldn't stop thinking "Rapist!". Thank you, Brad Meltzer, for not only ruining the character but stealing some of the joy I usually get from reading DC Super Friends. :(
I know this is a week late, but I just had to mention that I don't think that was STRIPE on the couch- he wouldn't fit. I think that's Lead of the Metal Men instead.
