Along the same lines, as much as I found the idea of a board game in this weeks episode cute and clever, I still would rather that space have been used to show some action.

I must admit… I missed that joke the first time I read it.
I was like wow, they just filled the space with that.
Then when I got that you got to play them getting out of the room I laughed… and then felt a deep sense of shame.

On the same page, they see the monster attacking New York, and Kara takes off her clothes to reveal her costume underneath. Terra isn’t wearing her costume because she didn’t know she’d need it. So she takes off her pants.

I am sorry Greg, but that is a pretty funny gag about superhero costumes. “Power Girl” has gotten progressively better with each issue in my opinion. Palmiotti, Gray and Conner are really finding a distinct voice for the title and I am starting to really enjoy it. It seems to me that a little bawdy humor is appropriate for PG.

As noted above, Terra is hardly certain to be under 18. Conner certainly does not draw her that way and I doubt the legal folks at DC would let an issue depicting a minor undressing in an alley to go out. There is too much potential liability.

(Hey, you SAID you could take it)

It’s funny when jokes go over people’s heads.

I don’t think it was meant to be a commentary or icky or anything…just common sense – you can’t kick someone (which she IS shown doing) while wearing a tight skirt.

And KCViking: if you don’t like the BBT boys in New York, avoid Chris Claremont’s Asgard saga from the 80s. I’m still not sure why Ed Grimley was in Asgard. Or a giant.

In what may well be the most bizarre moment of our relationship, my girlfriend (whose longtime Spidey fandom intruding in my Batman-centric abode is the biggest tension we have to deal with) pointed out that either she really doesn’t remember anything about the night she spent with the real Peter, or Chameleon’s mimicry goes further than just the face.

Ahem.

But, yeah, there’s making Peter out to have a tough life, and then there’s his entire life going to hell in 22 pages. Although I kinda liked the whole “MJ knows Peter’s Spidey, but “Peter” doesn’t” scene. That was humorously awkward. Chameleon pointing out just how useless this version of Peter ultimately is, well, unambitious and generally useless. That’s exactly what *I* want in my lead character!

“I’ve mentioned this with regard to the violence in this comic – it has a very weird tone occasionally, as if it wants to be a light-hearted superhero comic but then there are weird moments of horrible violence.”

So it’s Invincible, just starring a stacked chick?

First, we had “Peter Parker” taking advantage of his roommate … before systematically hurting and/or offending almost all of his major supporting cast, in such a way that the real Peter’s gonna have a whole lotta ‘splainin’ to do. I really felt bad for the way poor Michelle is treated in this story arc; it’s a pretty skeevy approach no matter which Peter is sleeping with her.

And then we had Kal-L… AKA “Original Flavor” Superman and Lois killing people and eating their hearts. Zombie Golden Age Superman, committing mass murder? I’m interested in how the heck they’ll redeem the Black Lantern characters after this is all said and done. (I’m still crying over Evil Zombie Ralph and Sue beating the Hawks to death…)
