Things That Made Me Happy...
in my comics this week.
Dead or alive, Ralph just wouldn't be Ralph if he WASN'T a jerk. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. He's the kind of jerk we all have known at some point. The kind that manages to convince everybody else that he's not really a jerk and is just "kidding." You know he's putting you down every chance he gets but you can't get anybody else to believe you.
ReplyDeleteI went to high school with a guy just like that.
Where's this Tempest/Mera argument happening?
ReplyDelete"Where's this Tempest/Mera argument happening?"
ReplyDeleteThe pages of Blackest Night.
Mera definitely wins. But, after all, the ability to defeat Garth in an argument isn't but so impressive.
ReplyDeleteElement Dog comic: WANT.
Super-Prozac made me happy. I like those two characters being less antagonistic than they have sometimes been, but also less seamlessly cooperative and friendly than they've recently been. A good scene: they're close enough to try to have the conversation, and different enough for it not to work.
Wally vs. George Washington? Which issue is that in?
ReplyDeleteJerk or not, I was just so happy to see Ralph and Sue again. Yes, Ralph's a bit of a jerk, but then again, I'm a Guy Gardner fan, so apparently I LIKE jerks.
ReplyDeleteYeah,poor Bzzd. And Ch'p!
Yeah, but Guy's the good kind of jerk. He's the kind of jerk who'll give you hell and crack wise, not meaning anything bad buy it. But if somebody else is actually picking on you he (Guy) will punch the (non-Guy) guy in the stomach for you. Guy's that kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised by Blackest Night #1. Given how poor I thought Final Crisis was, I wasn't looking forward to another "Big Event" from DC. But the first issue delivered quite strongly, in my view.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diamondrock! I saw that last night when I actually read the comics I purchased instead of flipping pages...
ReplyDeleteReally, I can't remember the last time I saw Aquaman say, "YIPPEE!"
ReplyDeleteWasn't it when he heard Peter David would no longer be writing his adventures? (Little did he know what was to come....)
No. That was me...
ReplyDeleteWhat made me happy this week (now that I actually finally got my comics) is seeing Penguin and Two-Face back where they should be. Finally.
ReplyDeleteWhy the unlove for Ralph? He's always been a stand-up (and coil his neck in group scenes) kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteI hate Ralph Dibny. Search the blog and you'll see...
ReplyDeleteBlackest Night and Final Crisis show the good and bad sides of continuity freaks. Johns is great at rejuvenating and building on old characters and situations. Morrison is great at digging up obscure crap and making it even more obscure, all the time giggling to himself about how clever he is. Which is sad, because when he's not trying to be obscure and clever, he can turn out stuff like All-Star Superman.
