Tonight's episode of The Colbert Report was like the best ever! At least the best episode of the strike, anyway. Malcolm Gladwell + Harlem Gospel Choir = WIN!

Now it's time for...

WTF is up with that Manhunter cover? Sheez...

Ross's Superman, while pretty awe-inspiring, isn't a big favorite of mine (he looks so very avuncular)...but whatever the reason for the Strategic Cape Placement I like the image it makes. :)

Oooh, the world needs more woobie Hal Jordan. I highly approve. I also approve of rocket-propelled penguins in the Batcave, although I don't have the faintest what they're doing there (other than having a lot of fun).

Those Dream and Death bookends are about the most awesome thing ever. Wow. OMG, I just noticed Goldie's there! Awww!

Did anyone else freak out at the killer *heels* on joker's shoes??? Seriously, be careful, Lex! If he steps in anything you like with those, crunch crunch goodbye forever! Woah. Gotta be at least 2 inches high.

I can't stop staring. WTF?????

Hal Jordan looking woobie... awww... I'm sure you'll get some by the end of the issue, Hal! don't worry!

Weee! Rocket-propelled Penguins! weee! I am so fond of Aqualad, despite not knowing him at all! he's just adowable!

*goes back and looks* Whoa. I guess the Joker likes to feel pretty? And deadly. He could stab Lex's eyes out.

Didn't the love of his life, Carol Ferris, mary somebody else while he was dead? I think that's her on the cover.

I never really liked Garth in the regular comics, but I'm really digging him in TT: YO and Tiny Titans.

I'm not that big of a fan of Ross's art in general. Some of it's very beautiful, but he's not terribly good at conveying motion, and, well, I don't like his women. He gets points for realistic body types, but their faces are all so square and jowly. They look very masculine, and I kind of want my Black Canary and Wonder Woman to be pretty. I hope that doesn't make me sound terribly sexist!

Those Dream and Death bookends are about the most awesome thing ever.

Aren't they? I really want them, but they cost $250! Goldieeeeeeeeee!

Me too! I don't like those character re-designs at all. I saw some of the toys at K-Mart and they looked slightly better, but I still wouldn't buy them.

OMG, the Tiny Titan's one, though!!!!

I know!!! And the penguins! I mean, just penguins in the Batcave would be cool, but penguins with jet packs? Awesome!
