Indie Crisis
I’ve enjoyed reading Mike’s predictions on who’s behind the Infinite Crisis muckity-muck (my money’s on Earth-2 Superman). The first issue of the long-awaited mini-series is coming up. I’ll check it out as I’ve enjoyed work from the writer and artist before. Not to mention I’m reading Seven Soldiers and there’s probably some point where DC’s two mega-projects are going to meet each other.
Since every single superhero book DC publishes will have to tie in to this event somehow I wonder “why stop there?” There’s a Wildstorm series starring Captain Atom that will have something to do with this mess but why not include all the Wildstorm and Vertigo books? Hell, why not have books that DC doesn’t even publish tie-in to the hoopla?
Love & Rockets:
Hopey: Magpie. Magpie, wake up!
Maggie: Huh?
Hopey: Jeez, you’ve been so much of a downer these past few days since Ray and Doyle had that conversation with you.
Maggie: What do you expect? It’s from them that I learned that ZATANNA ERASED MY MEMORY ABOUT THE ATOM’S WIFE KILLING SPEEDY!!
Milk & Cheese:
Milk: Say Cheese old chum, this old episode of Manimal has got me thinking it was wrong, so very wrong, for man to try and mess with the animal kingdom.
Cheese: It is true my carton-attired friend, the idea of man encroaching on nature is displeasing. I even hear there’s a place under the sea where one fellow can control animals with his mind.
Milk: You don’t mean-?
Cheese: Yes I do Milk, to save the balance of nature WE MUST DESTROY ATLANTIS!
Much chaos ensues as the two lactose pals steal scuba gear and showcase their ability to break anything and everything while firing off such one-liners as “The Donovan guy didn’t the first thing about this place!”
Acme Novelty Library
Chris Ware starts a new strip called “Arkham Brucie.” A millionaire remembers the good old days when he had a mansion and even a secret cave where he could hang out with young boys named Dick and Tim while wearing special costumes. Now he sits in a cell all day brooding over his current state. He overhears two orderlies speaking: “This place can get real depressing sometimes.” “I just read my superhero comics and play with my many material possessions to forget the ugliness of the world.”
