And yeah, O'Neil's chatty thugs (presumably moonlighting from a Spider-Man comic) are the <i>worst</i>.<br /><br />Interesting, though, that Barry jumps from a shocked and nauseated reaction to something he presumably sees literally every day at work to trying to recount the boring details of a back-issue. I wonder if that's a subtle characterization of someone trying desperately to compartmentalize his feelings and retreating from reality, rather than just sloppy writing.<br /><br />Nah.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-18885217787962111922016-04-09T06:32:43.901-05:002016-04-09T06:32:43.901-05:00I'm basing my knowledge of Tattoed Man on a Ma...I'm basing my knowledge of Tattoed Man on a Marv Wolfman "Green Lantern" comic from about 1980, where the Tattooed Man had to re-paint tattoos on himself after he used them. It's probably a mistake for me to put my faith in Marv Wolfman, especially since he was trying to squeeze some angst out of it ("my tattoos aren't as powerful as they used to be! Is there something wrong with the ink?")Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-19773849262105981862016-04-08T10:36:34.396-05:002016-04-08T10:36:34.396-05:00I don't think the tattoos disappear after use,...I don't think the tattoos disappear after use, Anonymous.

Thus there wouldn't be any tattoo removal scars.

This level of stupidity is almost impressive. <br /><br />Also, is it me or does the goon in the second panel of the "fight" scene look just a little TOO pleased to be hugging Ollie. It's more "OMG, I AM TOUCHING HIM!" and less "Ha-HA! We've got him!" <br /><br />Maybe we have this all wrong. Maybe these are just all four of GA's fanboys. After all, they did ask for his autograph. CobraMisfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254323816960257073noreply@blogger.com
