Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

See above. Why not have an extra-strong telepath with control of land and sea animals on your team?

Because he's an insufferable asshat? And because his classic costume has a boat neck? Not to mention his hydration issues. (Though I admit that the other day, I found myself wondering where I could find the good Aquaman/J'onn J'onzz crack.)

Also, the current Earth Green Lantern's ring has no such weakness.

Yeah, yeah. Details, details...

Ah. You've just reminded me of a couple years I spent hearing near-constant rants about Kevin Dooley from my Green Lantern-obsessed former roomie. Pray for the man should we ever meet at a comic convention, because I OWE HIM PAIN!!!

Can I get popcorn and watch?

He triggers it.

I love Anne's spicy brains.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Wonder Twins were lame.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because he's an insufferable asshat?

Yet Cyclops has regular work.

And because his classic costume has a boat neck?

This one?

Not to mention his hydration issues.

New and improved -- mitigated by humidity too.

Yeah, yeah. Details, details...

But it's not like he can't just pick up a non-yellow building and drop it on the banana guy.

Honestly, if someone gave me a green lantern ring I'd take that too. I'd be able to fly, understand any language, survive in hostile environments, and make things with my mind.

It's one way to pass a Sunday afternoon.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Hee! I'm loving the superhero smackdown and am quite pleased that my Angelverse--->Frayverse theory isn't laughable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Something just occured to me: Why does Gleek wear a mask? Why does he need to have a secret identity? What, is he a mild-mannered organ grinder monkey by day....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love Anne's theory.

And it makes Wes' interpretation of Shanshu - he gets to live until he dies - true and poignant. Hm, in my head this makes sense, but in actual words, nsm.

By day, he's Grape Ape.

See, the mere fact you didn't know he was Marcel means it worked.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I really wish the large version of this picture was still up on Frank Cho's web site.
