I love that everyone, even monsters, had to wear tiny little trunks back in the old days. It led to Fin Fang Foom's pants in Nextwave.

Random Stranger posted:You like late Blue Devil instead? Ehhh not as much a fan. I liked Blue Devil as a kid (yes I was alive when it originally published) but the more it leaned into the hell stuff the less I liked it. Edit-whoops missed your point entirely. Yes I like the earlier stuff better, despite the warts of the time period

I enjoyed BD myself, but like too many humorous comics (looking at you, Justice League), it got sillier and more sitcom-ish as it went on. Still, silly was better than the grimdark stuff they did with BD during the Day of Judgment/Shadowpact era. (And Paris Cullins was a great artist.)

'Truck-kun' being the preferred way to send heros on their isekai adventure is as much of a trope, as it is a meme. So what happens if you make a series about the driver of Truck-kun? Series is Isekai Transporter

Oh well if this was under Prez's administration he obviously did something to the national chi to make this feasible. Under America's first teen President, many things are possible.

Also, please note that the only way the writers could think of for a black kid to get that rich in the first place was a bank error. The other kids made their respective piles in oil, shipping, and movies, but ol' Token over there just got lucky.

Reading the wiki it said he made money with wise stock investments after the initial error but then apparently his wise stock investment was to show some guys he had money and for them to invest it for him.
