Hey, Brian can shine the light on other blogs, so we all can! Disintegrating Clone tells us something that is true:

This guy is crying out for the Bendis treatment. Or the Morrison treatment. Or the Brubaker treatment. Or the Ennis treatment. I’d even take the Straczynski treatment, for crying out loud!
As I asked in my comment on the original post, what comic character has Len Wein created that’s half as cool as The Highwayman? Answer: None!
The Highwayman: if you’ll pardon my language, just another reason why comics are fucking awesome.

And the best part is, I actually have the two-part special where the Highwayman poses as a hero and beats the crap out of a brainwashed Captain Britain (using the special brainwashing monocle feature), just so he can help the Manipulator by (I kid you not) BRAINWASHING THE QUEEN into invading a small African country. Includes the line, “Note even Captain Britain can stop the Royal Navy!” Rule Britannia, indeed.

I’ve read this blog for some time, all the while beleiving that you and I had radically different tastes in comics. Now I know we can agree on what’s really important. Fucking. Awesome.

Was Neil Tennant involved in the creation of this character?
