well, since DC is going retro anyway ...

... why not turn back the clock on the WildStorm universe as well?



does this mean we'll have another Grifter-Zealot-Spartan love triangle? wooohoooooo!!!

Dick hitting on a bigger dick

ok, ok, the title was way out of line ...

a souped-up, or should we say Suped-up Batman lets the power get to his head, a cliche as he likens it, and goes wild in the dispensing of justice in the world. everything's black and white, when he used to operate in shades of gray.

and he gets a boot in his smug face courtesy of his former ward.

of course, Dick only gets so far before The SuperBat administers a beatdown worthy of Chris Brown (k-ching!).


by the way, isn't it when you say "pick someone your own size", it means you're on equal terms with the person you're saying it to, because that person was bullying somebody smaller?

if so, Dick is wrong because Bruce is a bigger dick than him. am i right or am i right?


quitting the lame comedy routine now ...

Superman/Batman #55

come get some

i'm officially declaring March 2007 to be Steve Rogers Month ... here he is after getting some. you can see the afterglow on his face.

Brad Pitt loves roleplaying.

in the 4-part "SuperPatriot" storyline in 2004 by Robert Kirkman, Cap, despondent after the events in Avengers Disassembled, runs into an old flame, former Serpent Society badgirl Diamondback. they waste little time getting into the sack. but Cap doesn't know that Rachel Leighton is working with his #1 pain-in-the-ass, The Red Skull!

not till 2007, Johann.

the Serpent Society guns for Diamondback, and they are both captured. Cap opens a 12-pack of whupass on the snakes, and Diamondback feels like its 1999 - she changes her mind about killing Cap. which means the Skull isn't gonna like that decision.

just one of the thousand cases of domestic abuse in America

the Skull kills Diamondback, then turns his ire on his real target, Cap. he cheated because he procured some kind of hyped-up armor from a S.H.I.E.L.D. traitor, and gives Cap a messy beating. well then, why did he need a girl to do his prep work? coward.


and since this is Marvel, Diamondback rises from the dead! and saves Steve's butt! and kicks the Red Skull's ass! and S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives just in time before Rachel chokes the life out of him (aawww, we could have prevented the 2007 Red Skull machinations from taking place! damn you, Nick Fury!)

so as it turns out ... Steve Rogers was bangin' a ROBOT!!!

"not approved for use?" hell, Cap already 'used' that one ...

so the real Diamondback shows up, and while Steve's being treated for his injuries, another ex shows up ...

THREESOME!!!!

thinking how awesome it was to bang a robot, Steve wants to see if doing the real thing was just as good (take that, Tony Stark!).


that's right, he said "get a room!" damn, he's not 'a man out of time' anymore.
