The next time you feel the urge to point at someone, remember the confrontation between Mekt Ranzz and Tenzil Kim that you’re about to witness. The digit you save may be your own.
Well, there're nine more where that came from...
Today’s lesson in etiquette has been brought to you by Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #33 (October 2007) by Tony Bedard and Dennis Calero.
There’s something oddly arousing about the fact that the Huntress and Judomaster aren’t above mischievously throwing around creative euphemisms for male genitalia in the heat of battle.
Normally, I'd add my own suggestive comment right about now, but I think they've covered all of the good ones already.
Today’s lesson in juvenile humor has been brought to you by Birds of Prey #101 (February 2007) by Gail Simone, Nicola Scott, and Doug Hazlewood.
I’m not sure what they put in the drinking water down in Ivy Town University, but, after seeing what kind of company turned up at Ryan Choi’s welcome back party, I kind of wish that they’d make it a mandatory additive.
Is that a sliderule in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

So you think you know what supervillainy is, eh? Well, you haven’t witnessed hardcore supervillainy until you’ve seen mad-scientist-on-a-budget Dr. Gregory Gruesome in action.
That vile fiend! Three bets that he kicks puppies and kittens, too!
This definition of pure evil has been brought to you by Showcase #62 (May-June 1966) by E. Nelson Bridwell, Joe Orlando, and Mike Esposito.
Quick! When you think of Dr. Doris Zeul – better known as recurring Wonder Woman foe Giganta – what the first thing that comes to mind? (And I mean aside from that impractical two-piece leopard print costume she used to wear.)
Well, it might surprise you to know that she’s straightforward, disenchanted with today’s youth, a stickler for the rules (kind of surprising for a supervillainess), a professor at Ivy Town University, and has a not immediately visible body modification…all of which Ryan Choi, the all-new (and currently all-dead) Atom learns in short order.
There is no Amanda, only Zeul.

She may be an incorporeal holographic projection, but mischievous artificial intelligence Roxy can still flirt with the best of ’em…something King Chimera discovers the hard way.
I'll bet she says that to all the intelligent, carbon-based life forms.

There’s a good reason why Deadshot isn’t a professional litigator. A very good reason.
I'd like to see what he considers a misdemeanor.

Whether you consider her a tree hugger or an ecoterrorist, one thing is certain: Poison Ivy loves plants and trees. What’s a bit more surprising is that she also…uh…loves plants and trees.
I'm all for free love, but not outside-of-my-biological-kingdom free.

Rejoice, everyone! It’s time for the premiere of yet another ongoing series of blog posts. This time around, I’ll be focusing my attention on funny, unlikely, or just plain bizarre cameos that comic book writers and artists, in their infinite mischievousness, have (secretly) incorporated into their works. While none of the examples that I’ll be citing here will be on par with the insane cameos, in-jokes, and references from Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and some examples will possess all the subtlety of a brick to the skull when it comes to presentation, I’m hoping that at least some of you out there will be pleasantly surprised.
And what better issue to kick things off than JLA #8 (August 1997) by Grant Morrison, Oscar Jimenez, and Chip Wallace, where Connor Hawke, (the then-new) Green Arrow, is seen receiving reassurance about the inherent safety of biological matter teleportation from what might just be the worst possible authority on the subject?
Just be glad he didn't offer to teleport any baboons or cats up with you.
Yes, that government lab technician is none other than Jeff Goldblum, or, more correctly said (and as his name tag indicates), Dr. Seth Brundle, the unlucky molecular physicist from David Cronenberg’s horror classic The Fly (1986).
It’s worth noting that this version of Dr. Brundle looks significantly healthier (not to mention more human) than his movie counterpart. Given the existence of super-science and incredibly advanced technology in the DC Universe that would make the film’s Telepods look like 1970s pocket calculators, however, this is perhaps not all that surprising…
Whatever else Captain Marvel may be, one thing’s for sure: he makes a lousy salesman.
You just can't get good customer service these days...
