The Sonic variant just reverses the “faded” art. Lame.

Sorry, folks. Odd work week and especially today and tomorrow not a lot of writing time.
OK, so we all know that Disney’s Hercules takes a few liberties with the myth. OK, a whole stinking lot of liberties. And maybe you heard that The Little Mermaid didn’t end quite as happily for Ariel, Quasimodo, or Tarzan in the original books. But what about The Jungle Book or The Fox & The Hound (which I didn’t even know WAS a story first)? 7 Classic Disney Movies Based On R-Rated Stories shows how un-kid friendly the original stories actually were. Tell me kids can handle that and I’ll call you a liar or an idiot.

Why yes, I am that jaded about DC’s current policies.
Character turned gay just to get in the papers? Check. Overly sexualised classic female character? Check. Bad guy trying to rape a woman? Check. Male wearing silly looking battle armor while female shows off her body? Check. Jim Lee-approved V-neck outfits? Check and check. All the current stupidity is there. Forgive me, but I am that cynical about the current people in charge. Marvel has it’s own crimes. Except that last one.
You should see his Shockwave impersonation. Dead on.
Although to be fair only one other comic even have a nomination. That’s because most of them were too good for one moment to stand out, one was too bland for one moment to stand out, and I was a comic short this week. Besides, it’s Whirl doing something amusing rather than me being forced to cheer a Decepticon on. I have to give him credit for that.
Trust me, I’m sparring you the horror on the gatefold.
Worlds’ Finest #11

“Putting It Together” WRITER: Paul Levitz ARTISTS: Ken Lashley, Barry Kitson, Robson Rocha, and Wayne Faucher COLORS: Matt Yackey & Hi-Fi LETTERER: Carlos M. Mangual COVER ART: Barry Kitson & Hi-Fi ASSISTANT EDITOR: Anthony Marques EDITOR: Mike Cotton GROUP EDITOR: Eddie Berganza “HUNTRESS” CREATORS: Paul Levitz, Joe Staton, & Bob Layton “POWER GIRL” CREATORS: Gerry Conway Ric Estrada & Wally WoodI don’t usually like to do fights where the hero loses, but last week I wanted to do a comic done by Carmen Infantino, who passed away last week. The problem with my collection is that it’s hard to find anything. Then Saturday my local comic store was having a sale on the back issues. I only picked up four because of the aforementioned too big collection. And one of them was drawn by Infantino. So I’m forced to watch one of my favorite heroines lose a fight.
Although for some reason all four comics I picked up end on a cliffhanger. Go figure.
