And that would be the first issue of my new comic: CompletelyUnnecessary But Compelling Team-Ups. I think they would be a sufficiently hardcore introduction to the concept.
Issue #2: Tony Jaa & Rom The Space Knight in a little story called KYAG, Suckas
Wiec? over at When Is Evil Cool memed me on 6 things about yourself.
Here's the dillio: 1) Link to the person who tagged you. 2) Post the rules on your blog. 3) Write six random things about yourself. 4) Tag six people at the end of yer post and link to them 5) Let each of the six persons know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog. 6) Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
If I told you anything about my day to day plotting, I would have to launch your houses into space. I'll keep it quick and useless:
1) I have been shot in the head with a laser once. This is a fact and a life goal achieved, so woot.
2) I do not like Ferris Bueler or A Christmas Story. Which makes me like the only person, I think. But seriously, it's all we ever watched in school durin' a free period or holiday.
3) I still get a little verklempt whenever I see Optimus Prime die. via Retrojunk
4) I really would have to think about it, but if I had to answer you who I thought was my favorite actor of all time on the spot I would probably answer Shintaro Katsu.
5) I never had Omega Supreme when I was a kid, and I will kill someone for it if I ever get the chance. Kill. Dead.
6) On one of the first days of my first job, I was told to guard the door to the backroom of the shop on one of the hottest days during Summer. The back was cool, shaded, breezy, and full of comics. I asked the boss if he y'know, wanted me to do any work. He just said 'Nope, just sit back, watch the door, and read comics.' On that day, the store had a guest signing stuff: comics legend Jim Steranko(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Steranko). I didn't know who he was back then , so I was just 'Okay, whatevs.' So there was Steranko, almost fainting of heat exhaustion and surrounded by sweaty comic nerds. And there was me: sittin' back, takin' in the breeze, and readin' some comics. Damn, it's good to be a gangsta.
....but instead of reading Batman: Battle For the Cowl, I think I would like to read a title called Batman: Amok Time instead. And it would go a little something like this:
Upon finding himself trapped back in the time of Anthro the First Boy at the end of Final Crisis, Batman gets tired of waiting for DC editorial to send Booster Gold back in time to save him so it's time to do the job himself. Stealing a time machine from one of the fifty gajillion DC time villains randomly visiting the period he's stuck in(Lets say Per Degaton? Just cause?), Batman then looses the time machine in the belly of a T-Rex. After taming the T-Rex though, Batman uses its newly acquired time travelling abilities to port his way through DC history, teaming up with famous detectives and other heroes of the past to fight crime and injustice. Because he can't control the time dinosaur though, Batman doesn't know where he will end up and what each adventure will bring him.
And yes. Batman will totally get to punch Hitler in current continuity.
Guy came in with his son, who I would guess was no older than 12. After asking me a whole bunch of Watchmen questions, because he took his son to see it (really?), he starts to tell me what comics he owns in his collection. Like, all of them. Alllllllllllllllllllllllll of them.
And it doesn't sound like a bad collection, its a lot of '70's Marvel with a sprinkle of DC and some '80's thrown in. But I'm also in the middle of doing paperwork and entering orders and fairly obviously busy. I'm being polite and all though and just reply 'Oh, cool' and 'That's a good run' and so on the entire time.
An hour later, I think he finally finished telling me everything in his collection >_<
I really wasn't going anywhere with this, although I do fear for that kids sanity.
So we just picked up a massive Golden Age collection of Batman, Detective, and the World's Finest. I'll slowly post them on here just to show the awesomeness that is the Golden Age, but the store scanner doesn't work and neither does mine at home (bah!). So I'll slowly just link the covers through the ComicBookDB.
This one made me think of Chris Haley for some reason
If you crop the top off, that is the most awesome high five ever.
The sheer force of awesome it produces is actually making Robin reel backwards a little.
Also, I think this is the most times I've ever said awesome in one post.
Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people. A race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world!
