Howza 'Bout Some Comic Scans?
Before you do anything else, you should go read the interview with Booster Gold over on Newsarama. Skeets and Rip Hunter have their say as well.
Comics were really good this week! Well, Amazons Attack kinda sucked, but that's nothing new. I didn't read Robin, mostly because this cover freaked me out. The idea of Dodge as a villain really bothers me too. What happened to you, Adam Beechen?!
To no body's surprise, Dinah accepted Ollie's proposal at the end of Black Canary #4. That mini was okay, although I had issues with the way they kept dressing Dinah like a hooker when she was out of costume. A tube top and mini-skirt? Really? Isn't she supposed to be, like, 30? However, I appreciated somebody calling Merlyn "Black Arrow." Now bring on those wedding specials!
The Brave and the Bold #6...wow. It won't make any sense if you haven't read the preceding issues, but it did a fantastic job of tying everything up. I love this series so much! Plus, we get to see Invisible Kid with his shirt partially ripped off! He's probably too young for me to be perving on, isn't he? *sigh*
If they decided to change the title of Action Comics to Jimmy Olsen Interacts With Cute Animals Comics, I would totally be okay with that.
Clark, however, doesn't seem all that bent out of shape about the revelation:
Apparently, knowing secret identities in one of Jimmy's new superpowers. Anyway, we flash-back to about a week ago when Mr. Action and Superman were fighting the Kryptonite Man:
It's kind of odd how Superman's cape seems to conform to his ass there...
Krypto to the rescue!
Krypto is looking fuzzier than usual. Did he get a perm during the year he was away?
Jimmy revives Superman by using yellow sun radiation powers and then takes Krypto home to nurse him back to health:
Unfortunately, the Kryptonite Man's kryptonite-powered monkey is still on the loose. He is confronted by Mr. Action!
Awwwwwwww! But what about Krypto?
SAD PUPPY FACE!
Yay!
You know, I hope that Jimmy does join the Justice League, at least for a couple of issues. It would be amusing.
Speaking of the Justice League, JLA #12 (Brad Meltzer's last issue) was really good. We get to see Lian looking adorable in a little Speedy costume:
Red Arrow and Hawkgirl finally get it on in this issue, causing Black Canary to go in to Mama Bear-mode...
...and Red Tornado to become a pervert-bot. First, he goes into Roy's room without knocking...
...and then stares at the couple in bed...for a few panels.
I have a feeling that this is just going to worsen the great Hawk-Arrow feud.
Meanwhile, Deathstroke is putting the moves on Geo-Force:
It's okay though. The Big Three know about it, and they have Geo-Force wired.
And I guess Hal and Wally were playing "Rub the Bell Jar" in the trophy room the entire time:
"Oh Wally, it's so smooth...dammit. The alarm."
I've decided to just kind of ignore what happened to Bart and focus on enjoying Mark Waid's new run (hah!) on The Flash. #231 was pretty cute, especially Wally having to change diapers at super-speed:
But then vagina dentata/tentacle monsters attacked at the end.
Oooookaaaaaaaaaaay. Moving on then...
I like how this post so far is pretty much "Animals! Little kids! Wedding specials! Yay!" I'm such a girl sometimes. No that there's anything wrong with that ; )
I was quite excited when I saw this week's cover for Countdown:
As every good fan fic writer knows, this means sex pollen! Or at least it should.
Piper and Trickster piss off Poison Ivy...
...who pwns them with fruit.
Note the toy car that apparently fell out of Trickster's sleeve.
I also like how Trickster thought to protect his crotch while being tied up with vines. Can't wait to see what happens next week!
The back-up feature was the origin of Poison Ivy, which was adorable.
But of course, the real star this week was Booster Gold #1!.
Would you believe I actually forgot this the first time I went to the comic book store? I've only been anticipating this title for months. I had to go back and get it the next day.
This issue was comic book perfection. I can find no fault with it.
Booster is trying to prove himself to the JLA when Rip Hunter pops up and makes him go save a plane that would have crashed.
Booster meets his great-great-however-many-greats-grandma too!
Rip is all "U must help me save teh multiverse!" and Booster is all like "No wai!!! I is gonna join teh Justize League!"
Red Arrow is the only member who looks pissed. I think it's because he's afraid that if Booster joins, he won't be the only "playah" on the team anymore.
Le gasp!
Oooh, you did not just dis Batman! *snap snap snap*
I love you, Skeets.
Seriously though, Booster is being extremely noble. He then goes and saves a kid from falling to his death and tells the kid to say that Superman saved him.
Booster goes to tell Rip that he'll help him after all.
The return of Rip Hunter's Big Board!
But he has one condition:
Ohmigod! Ohmigod! Ohmigod!
