Was the JLU episode with Booster Gold a nod to this? Or just a coincidence?

I suspect Morrison wrote this as a joke on the fact that nearly every new DC comic of that era had to have a Superman guest appearance in issue #2 or 3.

You have to remember, this was back when most American comics readers had no idea who Grant Morrison was and were only beginning to experience the "British Invasion" with Moore, Morrison, Gaiman, Milligan, etc. Between this and Morrison's early work on Doom Patrol (you should read that too), it was a massive paradigm shift for a lot of us.

And no, Animal Man pretty much drops off a cliff when Morrison leaves. (Frankly, it was declining even at the end of Morrison's run IMO.) Peter Milligan does a bunch of weird-for-weird's-sake stuff, Jamie Delano tries to turn it into a horror comic.

That's a shame to hear. I'll get on Doom Patrol, I read the new one from the MCR guy. I guess I'll just drop Animal Man once Morrison is gone. It's a delight though.
Such a delight.

FWIW Morrison's run comes to a definite conclusion and while I haven't read anything past it, I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not.

One of my far too many slow masochistic hobby projects of late has been readin all of the pre Flashpoint Vertigo line in chronological order, month by month (and my chrono ocd often requires me to also go into lengthy back material too. On the bright side, I now know Kid Eternity in the Golden Age was only a few ticks below Stardust the Super Wizard on the craz-o-meter). I haven't gotten that hugely ahead yet, but I can at least say the first few authors after g.mo keep Animal Man plenty weird even if they don't make him quite as funny.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

Can anyone post the picture of some villain (I think Electro) saying Spider-man and Spidey says "you remembered the hyphen. Most villains forget the hyphen. "


It's just with the movie coming out I am seeing a lot of Facebook posts about Spiderman or Spider Man, and they will drive me crazy.

In this story, there's a millionaire who hates Christmas, so he develops a chemical that makes you gain weight rapidly and puts it in some chocolates that Santa Claus eats. Santa is then too fat to slide down chimneys, so Superman comes to the North Pole to help him lose weight. The cranky millionaire also drugs Santa's reindeer, so Superman ends up pulling the sleigh, too. The millionaire ends up crashing his helicopter on an iceberg and his heart softens when Superman and Santa rescue him.

It is what actually factually happened. It was Blade showing up at a big fight but he couldn't be seen in public so he put on a Halloween costume. He joins Cage's Avengers but still can't go out in public so they make some calls and have him dress up as Ronin instead.

Or Spider-Man, for that matter.

Hell, there's a whole courtroom scene of everybody dressed as Spider-Man.
