Neal Adams sure is clawing his way to the top of the crazy pile in an industry that is filled to the brim with crazy.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just love the exchange of "Can you describe the plot?" / Adams: "No, I can not."
Indeed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Bruce has got one hairy-ass chest. He's a REAL MAN.

Bruce's hairy chest is not as funny as "Go to hell, you freak," but it's DAMN CLOSE.

I also like the part where Batman's inner monologue contradicts the (suddenly appearing) omniscient narrator.

Unrelatedly (OR IS IT?), Chatty!co-worker is going to C2E2 in Chicago this weekend, and today was his last day at work for the week. So when he was leaving, people were telling him "Have fun," etc., and then I yelled "Excelsior!"
He laughed, and I said "I have been waiting to say that ALL WEEK."
Me = nerrrrrrrrrrrrd.

Wolkin is great. He has a more stream-of-consciousness response to one of the Odyssey issues on his site: [link]
(And his descent into madness at SDCC is also hilarious, if only because it wasn't happening to me.)

He is a Hairy-Chested Love God (TM).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
WTF was that!?!?!
It's like someone saw the Goddamned Batman as a good idea for a plot.

I think there may be something to my theory
David: Something that keeps happening in this book: 4-6 people will inexplicably gather and 2 of them will fight, while the others stand around and casually converse with each other.
