Is it bad that I got this on the 2nd number?

“If it was titled “Final Crisis” and had a “Morrison” on the cover, you’d be peeing your pants over how breathtakingly fantastic it is! You know it’s true!”

“Gorilla with a jetpack” isn’t good enough. I want to know what that gorilla’s doing and how he’s doing it.

Some comic I had as a kid back in the 70′s had a pronunciation guide for Mr. Mxyzptlk which was the same as what you list above except the X was pronounced Icks and not Ick so that’s how I’ve always pronounced it.

Just a random thought.

Don’t forget none other than Mark Millar on Superman Adventures. DC takes the time to put good talent on those books, or at least use them as a good long-term tryout space like they did with Beechen’s JLU.

A lot of early issues of the JLU comic were also written by Dan Slott, and they were mind-numbingly awesome. For a long while, Batman Adventures was one of the best written Batman books on the stands, but nobody bought ‘em because, “Those are kids books.” Made me nuts, especially when you’d hear that from the same people who would then complain elsewhere that “comics aren’t fun any more.” The short run that Slott and Ty Templeton had in the book’s last incarnation was absolute gold.

I didn’t notice that this months’ Super Friends was drawn by Chynna Clugston when it was solicited or I would have pre-ordered it.

Chynna Clugston drew it? I’ll get it. Period. (The only issue of … TEEN TITANS GO!, was it? … that I own I bought as a back issue just about a month ago because I learned that it had featured her art. Same with ULTIMATE MARVEL TEAM-UP, or whatever it was called.)

Oh, sorry, misread the point that it was Superfriends! Doh!

It’s not Giffen by any chance?

I second Dave. The JLU comic was absolutely fantastic.

Wow, you’re missing out, Greg. When DC was publishing the comic book version of JLU (Justice League Adventures, maybe? I don’t recall the title off-hand), it was not only good stuff, but it was among the best books DC was putting out. ESPECIALLY when Adam Beechen was writing it.

I still miss that book.

Of course Brian is right! He knows EVERYTHING! It’s creepy.

DC Super Friends, written by Sholly Fisch and drawn by Chynna Clugston. I almost didn’t get the issue, because it is, after all, a kids’ book*, but I saw the giant vegetables and had to have it! It’s quite awesome.

* That’s not to demean it at all, because the DC kids’ line often features excellent stuff, but I’m not a kid, after all. I like reading these every once in a while, but I’m not going to read them regularly.

If it’s really that good, Brian should feature Sholly Fisch as one of his writing stars. I never see any of the big sites talk about this book, so a nod on CSBG might help get it looked at, and CSBG is all about that kinda stuff, right?

Brian is right?

Yes. It still won’t be as good as pirate Starro. Nothing really could be.

Yeah Greg. A+ for intrigue. F- for promotion. We need to know what issue it is so we can cop that. Brian is right?

Um, this sounds fantastic, regardless of who wrote it. What is it so I can buy it?

I’m just waiting for the pirate Starro issue.

But everyone knows Super Friends is awesome!

Right?

Right?!?!?!

Is it the Superfriends comic?
