My Lovely Horse posted:It's definitely more about pulp adventures than substance, but it's not just wacky reference humor either. For example in Vol. 3 Carl Sagan doesn't just randomly show up and zap a bitch for the hell of it, he's a major character throughout the chapter and he and Robo have a little talk about the boundaries of science. Within the framework of fighting an extradimensional monstrosity, sure, but it's there. Stephen Hawking though? He's just a bastard.

smashpro1 posted:Superman being a dick has long been established. But, sometimes, he did the same thing twice: I always loved the poo poo-eating grin Supes is sporting on that JO cover. At least on the other one, you might interpret it as the water is poisoned or something, so Superman is keeping them from killing themselves. But on the right there, he's just being an rear end in a top hat and loving it.

Ghostlight posted:Steel is doing the exact same eyebrow lift and smirk so either they've all zoned out of the conversation and Wonder Woman is doing something entertainingly distracting that we can't see or he's piggybacking on the "I used to be kind-of Superman once". That's Cyborg, not Steel. And yeah, they're all  as hell that this newbie Lantern loving knows he can't take any of them except maybe Batman. It's not often someone that the top tier of DC heroes is after just says "gently caress it, there's absolutely no way I am gonna fight you guys because you'll each tear me a dozen new assholes."

How has Batman: Fortunate Son been ignored for so long? If you want a plot summary, A rock star named Izaak Crowe goes on a drug-induced psychotic cross country rampage while taking advice from a hallucination of Elvis. Batman pursues and we find out that Rock and Roll is "not allowed in the cave"...in part because his dad told him not to listen to "that trash"...just before they went to the Zorro movie. I mean, besides the horrendously off artwork:  Batman being horrified by Great Balls of Fire and I Am the Walrus of all things:   And finally, Batman's summation of Punk Rock:  It may just be the stupidest comic ever written about Batman.

JediTalentAgent posted:Wasn't part of the story with that comic that Bruce is so against rock because when he was traveling the world he got hypnotized and fanboy'd with some punk rocker in England until he bumped into Lucius or something? So close, he was fanboying for some Sid Vicious stand in until he saw the Sid Vicious-type commit a murder. edit: Also his dad said something against rock just before they went to the movies. That's about 90% of the reason for Bruce's hate-on for rock, the ONE MURDER being the other 10%. Ensign_Ricky fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Jan 23, 2014 |

BIG HEADLINE posted:I can't tell if I like Harley's book yet. It certainly has a unique (for DC) feel, but the first issue left me flat. #2 has the most overt innuendo ever fielded in regards to Harley and Ivy's 'relationship,' though. I found myself enjoying it right about when Harley rescued the daschund in #1...but I love those dogs anyway. What I really enjoy are the regular reminders that Harley isn't just some slightly unhinged airhead...she is a full-fledged, violent psychopath. Who happens to be an airhead.

Ok, I had to go back and grab the aforementioned daschund scene from Harley Quinn #1. A little backstory: One of Harley's former patients passed away and in their will they left her a building in Coney Island. So just after surviving a little present from Mr. J, she packs ALL her stuff on a motorbike and splits Gotham for New York. And then she sees a daschund being dragged by it's owner.   Lookit dat fukkin dog!  But what happened to the owner? He's a pelvis wearing a belt now. Oh yeah, and as intimated by the previous panel from #2, she has a stuffed beaver that talks to her.

Fuego Fish posted:"Accident" insofar as New 52 Joker pushed her in, but yes, it's been chemically bleached like the Joker's. And instead of green, it made her hair do the two-tone thing...somehow. To be honest, I really don't mind Harley's revised origin for the most part, but the hair thing does kinda bug me.
