Giving Myself a Refresher Course in Super-Naturalism Friday!

I enjoy team-up books where there are rotating memberships because you never know what you'll get in the next issue. F'rinstance:


You're DOOMED! Or mildly inconvenienced until I find a pair of wire cutters. One of the two.

It's become a running joke that Batman, if given enough time and resources, could kick the ass of anyone in the DC Universe. This was a running joke because it certainly seemed to be the case.

But it's been that way for a long time:


By an amazing coincidence, I just happened to be studying up on people who become werewolves. How fortuitous! Next week, I'll be taking a course in community college on how to deactivate a hydrogen bomb!

And, as certain as any movie starring "The Rock" is going to stink on ice, there will be a hydrogen bomb situation the minute Bruce gets his Certificate of Attendance. That's how comics work. But just once, I'd like to see a situation where Bruce says, "Dang it! I haven't read that chapter yet! We're screwed!"

Anyway, that came from World's Finest #214.

This is my new favorite Item Inappropriately Offered for Sale in a Comic Book Marketed at Young Children!(tm!):


Say, honey, why is Timmy spending all that time in his bedroom? He hasn't come out since the mailman left him that package last week....

See you Monday!

A unibrow is a classic sign of lycanthropy? This explains so much about Frida Kahlo.

With that psycho expression on Superman's face, I don't think he's there to help the atom at all.

in fact he almost seems intent on killing him. :p
