Have you guys seen this Superman is a Dick website?
I posted that a little ways back. But it's real. The National Lampoon was just lending them webspace when the original host used up all it's bandwidth pretty much instantly.
New permanant home is here: [link]
Apparently their original home was "supermanisadick.com", but DC gave them a stern talking to.
I found it at: "www.superdickery.com/dick/1.html"
I just ordered X-Men checks. Alas, there is no Magneto-scene check.
I had a small pull list this week:
Detective
#804 continues the excellent, but very bleak, Lapham run. I wish the editors could have coordinated stories better, as Dr. Freeze is appearing in too many titles.
Justice League Elite
#9 was pretty effective, with interexting bits for Green Arrow and
Batgirl.
I'm still confused by some of the action in the story, though.
Lex Luther: Man of Steel
#1 was a solid effort. I like the take from Lex's point of view, but I am uncertain exactly where this fits in continuity. (They mention the Science Spire, which is being built in The Question, but don't mention anything about the Presidency or exile, so I'm guessing this is set in the short past).
Deadshot
#4 is enjoyable, if a bit predictable, but I'm only picking it up for the Green Arrow appeances anyway, but I'm glad it's not disappointing.
No Marvel this week for me, although my shop tried to get me to purchase
Ultimate Iron Man.
Did anybody pick up
Seven Soldiers of Victory
#0? It looks like we're in for a wild ride.
Iron Man
's gone Ultimate now? Huh. Is he basically the Tony Stark from
The Ultimates
?

It's fun. Grant Morrison weirdness, re-imagined old heroes and a giant spider. All in all, a surprisingly gripping and moving story.
Freeeeaaaky. Did you people know that the new Dr. Strange action figure is being modeled on Goth funny man & musician Voltaire? Pete just sent me the link to the story: [link]
