I feel like Waller would be one hell of a partier if you could actually get her to unwind for a minute.

The problem is that if Waller parties too hard it might end with WW3

No.

Waller would show up, get poo poo faced drunk and in the morning setup a new Suicide Squad, whose sole purpose was to destroy all the evidence and silence all the witnesses to said night.

Which now that you've said it out loud, maybe Black Canary would want that for her Hen night. It would keep the Hen going another week.

I can't quite articulate why I like it so much, but I really dig the graceful way Gwen is holding her non-petting hand out in panel 2.

Holy poo poo dude. Sivana showing villains how to get poo poo done. Luthor and Joker take time building death traps and poo poo, Sivana just grabs a pistol and goes to town the loving minute he hears Cap's out of town.

I honestly can't blame them with Shazam coming out film-wise. I think it's genuinely an important part of comic history and pretending like that era didn't exist benefits nobody but uh... I don't think anyone wants to risk that being the Shazam comic that falls into a kid's hands after seeing the film.

Monster Society of Evil needs a new collection but it was probably for the best that they pushed this one back on the schedule a few years.

The unfortunate thing about the racism in that story beyond it being incredibly racist is that it's pretty much the first few chapters. But those chapters have enough racism to make up for the rest of the story. Like if you rated golden age comics racism on a scale of 1 to 10, those chapters would be a solid 8. And if you jump to chapter 5 of 24, then the racism goes down to golden age background levels.

I loved the bit in 52 when Black Adam is heading to gently caress up the Mad Scientist Lab they had built and everyone is losing their poo poo because Black Adam is coming to kill every single one of them but Sivana is just going "Pffft, Shazam and his Marvels. Just another one to get out of my way." and casually pieces together a contraption to deal with him while in the middle of a pandemonium.

And after they capture Adam, Sivana gets all thrilled that he's found a way to dissolve the enamel on Marvel Family teeth.

I loved that whole bit, because Sivana gives zero fucks about how strong your super powers are.

Sivana: "I knew you were going to turn on me."
Psimon: "Why? Because we're 'evil'?"
Sivana: "No, 'cause you're shmucks."

I thought that was T.O.Morrow. "gently caress you, I've gone up against the JLA before, this is just one dude. Aaaand I've just opened a football-pitch sized tesseract in his brain."

I could be wrong. Morrow (and Doc Magnus, obviously) got so many of the cool bits of the Mad Scientists of 52.

What's so racist about it? The Wikipedia page doesn't mention anything I noticed scanning it. It's a wartime book, so is it general yellow peril stuff and unfortunate drawings of Japanese people or something more?

It also includes a character named Steamboat, who's a pretty standard-issue 1930s minstrel-show Negro (big pink lips, accent, and all).
