Heh. The Death of Captain Marvel.

Hold it, hold it, back up. Who invited the Hulk to a funeral...?

and also...

What kind of help do you imagine Thor's offering there? I mean, yes, I know his alter-ego is a doctor (ahem, A GENERAL PRACTITIONER OR SOMETHING, FOLKS!), but come on, that's Don Blake. This is the God of Thunder, and I have it on good authority that his usual means of solving a heady conundrum is to do something as understated as drinking all the seas.

"Mayhaps I might smite yon cancer with mine mighty enchanted hammer, friend Beast!"
"No, Thor, cancer's ... cancer's too small to hit with a hammer, sorry."
"Mayhaps the elves of Diggendoggenheim may forge a TINY HAMMER with which to smite yon foul rot!"
"Look, your heart's in the right place, but really ..."
"I could strike the cancer with lightning! Or, oh wait, how about I drinks it under yon table! Arf arf arf!"
"You ... Listen, you already suggested that ..."

And for our next trick we undo Crisis on Infinite Earths

Missed Hypertime and the Kingdom mini-series a few years ago, didja?

I'm so glad all the talk was the DC sols, so I can laugh and laugh and laugh instead of being sad that traffic prevented my comics-getting.

I have a new favorite superhero: Sprocket Man!!!

Was anyone, at the end of Ex Machina, reminded of Giles about to be decapitated?

UXM was pretty good, and Nightcrawler and Colossus are totally gay.

Ultimates was here and there. I wasn't paying attention for about half the issue, but then things started happening at the end. Or something. Losing interest.

Dude, what Nightcrawler is is totally clueless. Not only is he completely in the dark about Colossus, he doesn't get that being a carny with blue fur and a tail might move him out of first place in line for teenage girls to wibble over .

I wibble.

You're not a teenage girl.

I was when I started.

Everybody must go out and get Adventures of Superman #638 - you don't even have to be hooked into current Superman continuity to understand the story. All of Rucka's Mr. Mxyzptlk appearances have been wild, but this takes the cake. There are riffs on Frank Miller, Bruce Timm, and Calvin and Hobbes in the story. Thouroughly enjoyable, and criminally under-reviewed.
