~Just wanted to get a post up- and take a quick look at a few scenes from JLA #100.

The dialogue by Gerard Jones is kind of all over the place in this issue... Maybe it's because there are SO many characters with unique voices, and different dynamics- or maybe it's just trying too hard to be like the Giffen/DeMatteis comics- I don't know... It's not BAD per se; just a little awkward to read in spots:

-That does not mean there are not any funny moments, though! -Poor Artemis... she don't get no respect. No respect at all!

Hey, everyone- check out Metamorpho's "trollface":

So the Justice League International is interviewing for new members in issue #24:

Nobody's Favorite Superhero: Captain Atom (Part 2)

About the title: I often joke that Captain Atom is nobody's favorite superhero- partially because it's true, but also just because it makes me laugh. I kid- because I love! Not because I hate. There are too many sites out there devoted to hating comics. -They are part of the problem. This blog is about the joy that comics bring. Intentionally, or unintentionally... The little things that make you laugh. -It's about how fun comics can be. And in today's case- how fucking awesome!

In issue #30: Captain Atom finds out that his son, 22 year old daughter, her 44 year old fiance (who is his best friend, and her Godfather... and also black), and their Stepfather (you know- General Eiling: Nathaniel Adam's adversary who hooked up with his wife while he was MIA), and his Father (who does not know "Cameron Scott" is the titular Captain Atom) (Yeah- it's a very complicated family dynamic) are all vacationing on a yacht near an area where Black Manta is allegedly up to something nefarious. *phew*
-So, the good Captain flies out to check on them/keep them safe/investigate covertly. 

Needless to say he does find Manta's operation, and is immediately captured:

Nobody's Favorite Superhero: Captain Atom (Part 1)

Just let me start by saying- My Gods!  Look at his fucking hair:

-And those sideburns!:

Demo-taint must DIE!:

*giggle*

-Demogoblin's taint...

-IT HAS TWO MEANINGS!
