So ... The Mess decides to run a DCUC Classic Superbat Rogues Poll. "Great! I love these!" I think. So I take a look: hey, look at all those classic villains! This oughta be fun! There's Zha-Vam? And Radion, I remember that cover! And ... Syrene ... and ... Junkman?!"
"No. No way am I voting in this poll", I think. I mean ... Jackhammer!? Puh-leeze!
And then it happened: "JQ, why don't you do the write-up for this poll?"

 Captain America Reborn #1
This really reads like a regular issue of Captain America, but it does have the added benefit of bringing new readers up to speed. By "regular issue" I mean "one of the best comics on the stand" because Bru's Cap has been consistently boner-inspiring. That said, this issue did have a few drawbacks. Hitch is a much lauded artist, but either he's not all that great or I've become accustomed to looking at greatness too often, because none of his work was particularly striking. It was a wise move to bring in Butch Guice whose style is similar, very good, and most importantly timely. Also, the time-traveling consciousness thing is a bit too sci-fi for the tone of Bru's Cap. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because it could lead to some good drama and if Bru has proven anything, it's that he's good at drama.

 Doghouse Reilly asks:
"Getting the Atom was a great little bonus for Wave 8. Are pack-ins of tiny characters going to be a regular feature of the line going forward or just a rare treat? Including characters like Doll Man, Doll Girl, Shrinking Violet, Quislet, Bat-Mite, Streaky, and others when the budget allows seems like a great way to add value to the package and entice a collector to buy a figure they might otherwise skip."

by Coffee Joe on June 29, 2009, 05:37:00 PM Being a life-long fan of Michael Jackson (even if I've kept that fact somewhat on the downlow since high school), it was thus inconceivable to me for the longest time that there could, in fact, be people in this world who did not feel the same joy and nostalgia every time "Beat It" or "Billie Jean" would come on the radio, or who wouldn't try to do the freaky zombie shoulder shuffle every Halloween during the umpteenth playing of "Thriller."
Turns out I just had to look to the children. The next generation, you see, does not quite think Michael Jackson is as bad as I do. Apparently they thought him rather dangerous.

 Dark Avengers #6
See that super-sweet Deodato cover to your left there? Yeah, that scene never happens. Actually Noh-Varr doesn't even show up in the issue. After shtuping Moonstone last issue, he leaves to think about her revelation that they're all bad guys. The events of the cover are set up in this issue. Actually, the unraveling of the Dark Avengers begins here. Noh-Varr knows what's up. Norman reverses the progress he made with the Sentry for expediency. Then Norman starts losing his grip. It's all about to fall apart in a fascinating way.
