I've been enjoying The Violent and I don't think it's supposed to be a funny comic, but... ...that expression cracked me up hard (The Violent #4).

I love these old comics where the character basically goes,"Oh no, a thing is happening right now and I don't have time to physically react to the thing that is currently happening. When I thought the following, or rather the bulk of it, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months. At present I am a sojourner in civilized life again...."

My favourite is the panel where Clark Kent stubs his toe and his internal narration is something like, "Oh, no! I stubbed my toe on the desk! I'd better pretend to be hurt, or Lois will realise that I am actually SUPERMAN!"

I remember a recentish panel where someone (the Joker?) was about to hit him with a giant mallet, and Clark's thought process was "Hmm, big mallet. I'm not supposed to survive that, right? No way."

I have discovered my new favorite DC character: Make her the star of a new version of Brave and Bold, where she gets a new partner every issue, ones that don't play by the rules and are turning this city into a warzone!

'1st Issue Special' is actually the name of the book. It's 1st Issue Special #4.

Travis343 posted:Why does it say No. 4, July if that is the 1st Issue Special? As others have said, 1st Issue Special was the name of the book. The premise was that each issue was basically a pilot for a possible new series or concept. This is pretty much what the concept of Showcase had been in the '50s and '60s. 1st Issue Special ran for 13 issues and featured stories and concepts (not all of which were brand new) by notable creators like Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Joe Simon, Mike Grell, and others. Kirby introduced a number of new characters: Atlas the Great, the new Manhunter, and the Dingbats of Danger Street. Joe Simon introduced the Green Team and the Outsiders. Lady Cop was by Robert Kanigher and John Rosenberger. Issue 12 was the first appearance of Mikaal Tomas, the blue Starman. Most of the rest of the issues featured new stories about existing characters, like Metamorpho, the Creeper, Doctor Fate, and the New Gods. The only character who got an ongoing series following their debut was Mike Grell's Warlord.

I've never played Streets of Rage, but I've read the comic strip adaptation Mark Millar wrote in the UK Sonic the Hedgehog comic 20 years ago (it exists - the comic was aimed at the Beano/Dandy audience but the Streets of Rage story ended with the bad guy getting kicked into a vat of molten iron like the Terminator), and the impression I get from that is that Axel's defining characteristic was getting the poo poo kicked out of him.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #7 Donnie and April are hanging out when they encounter the Purple Dragons, Mikey and Raph are dressed like women so they can see a martial arts movie incognito, and Leo is on patrol when he runs into Karai. All three groups run into each other at the movie theater.
