Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Steph, those characters are the newest version of the Freedom Fighters, one of the classic superteams that DC bought decades ago. They've popped up a bit in JSA, and a lot of the members have been prominent in other titles in the past (Damage, Titans and Starman, to name a couple.

Best comic EVAH is too much hyperbole for me, but it does look promising.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Not best *comic* EVAH (the whole issue, that is) -- but the last page is (allegedly) the best page of comics EVAH. Still a lot of hype. We'll see.

Yeah. I've found they're not their own best judges of that, really.

I'm just trying to imagine what in the hell would make it the best page EVAR. Superman rips off his Superman mask to reveal that he's Vicki Vale? Batman dances the Batusi?

Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman three-way.

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

This is a comic book guy saying this. It would have to be a Batman/Wonder Woman/Power Girl threeway.

No, he read it in some interview with a VP at DC.

The last 60 years of canon have all been the dream of a very young Lex Luthor.

Of course, because of the manga explosion, DC could make the argument that making Bruce/Clark a little more explicit makes financial sense.

Given the wrong-headedness DC have been exhibiting lately, it will be a reveal that Barry Allen is alive.
