What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

Rann wins

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I like The Absorbascon a lot, even though it's going to take a bit of practice to correctly pronounce the name. Because of the site people are declaring their allegiance to either Thanagar or Rann in what I'm sure is more fun than actually reading that Rann/Thanagar War comic. When I saw Thanagar winning amongst the blogosphere I knew that I must stand up and support what I call "the one made up of Carmine Infantino artwork."

Rann rules because, as seen above, clouds friggin' hit people there. That is so awesome. If someone thinks they are so damn cocky that they can call out some of those flying mass of gases they'll soon find them selves eating a quickly-delivered Cloud Knuckle Sandwich. They would deserve it, too, what with all the insulting of clouds and all.

The planet to support is clear, people. Rann was drawn by Carmine Infantino, the best artist ‘60s DC had that wasn’t Gil Kane, and has punch-drunk clouds living in the skies. What does Thanagar have? Seriously, I don’t have a clue because I’ve only read one Hawkman comic, the one Ed Brubaker wrote. I do know that Thanagar invaded Earth on the season finale of Justice League, forcing Batman to recreate the ending of the first Authority storyline. From that one piece of exposure to this “Planet of Invading Dicks” I deem them unworthy of my endorsement. Vote Rann!
