  NO SLEEP TILL... GOTHAM! HARLEY QUINN AND THE BIRDS OF PREY #1 Published:  12th February 2020 Cover Date:  April 2020 Cover Artists:   Amanda Conner / Alex Sinclair Writer:  Amanda Conner / Jimmy Palmiotti Penciler:  Amanda Conner Inker:   Amanda Conner Colourist:   Paul Mounts Letterer:   John J. Hill Editors:   Chris Conroy Introduction Harley is a complicated character in some way in that she's changed so radically in the three decades since her introduction, going from animated, to comics, to back to animated and the reason for this special movies! The thing is where you came upon Harley is how you tend to view the character, if you came in on the edgier reboot of the New 52 version then she still has the stink of a villain who murders buses of children just for fun!  Though in the last nine years, the character had been carving her own little corner of the DC universe as an anti-hero getting into her own little adventures. In...

  Dial H for Hero #10 Miguel and Summer Travel the Multiverse March 2020 The clue is in the title, our titular heroes are travelling the multiverse after the series McGuffin. We start with two pages of various Earth, back when we had more than one and less than fifty-three, showing Batman Beyond Batman (Earth-12), Gender Swap Supes and Bats (Earth-11), Earth One Wonder Woman and first of all Earth 2. So this would be the New 52 Power Girl home after her adventures in Worlds' Finest! Truth be told this series looks interesting enough that at some point I need to take a look at the entire book.  

ENGINES OF FAITH, SHEDDING SKIN JSA vs. KOBRA #6 Published:  11th November 2009 Cover Date:  January 2010 Cover Artists:   Gene Ha Writer:  Eric Trautmann Penciler:  Don Kramer Inker:   Michael Babinski Colourist:   Art Lyon Letterer:   Pat Brosseau Editors:   Rachel Gluckstern Introduction The problem with picking an arbitrary point to look at comics is that you'll always get odd little things like this where you get to look at the tail end of a series from another decade. In this case, this is part six of a mini-series about the JSA fighting Kobra, duh! I could easily skip this for the next and move it to the previous decade, but just for a little variety, I figured I'd cover it here. Strangely the fact that is not hosted on DC Infinite, hence harder to find online makes it even more tempting to cover here and now. So let's go... Sypnosis We start in media res if you could call that for the last issue of a run, with three Kobra minions char...

Action Comics #883 Captain Atom, Chapter Five January 2010 Captain Atom was in Justice League of America, and so was Pee Gee, This is a single-panel flashback, job done! That's what I thought though a little internet search showed it's actually from a Government Task force that he was on with Major Force, the villain of the issue ( Superman/Batman  #4) . 

  THE FALL JLA: CREATED EQUAL #1 Published:   19th January 2000 Cover Date:  March 2000 Cover Artists:   Kevin Maguire / Joe Rubinstein / Dave Stewart Writer:  Fabian Nicieza Penciler:  Kevin Maguire Inker:   Joe Rubinstein Colourist:   Gloria Vasquez / Digital Chameleon Letterer:   Bob Lappan Editors:   Andrew Helfer / Jim Higgins Introduction So we start the new millennium of this reboot by covering my first-ever Elseworlds, if you ignore Tangent and Bombshells! And it's kinda sad that some of the points bought up in this mini, especially the second part (which we'll get to eventually) still have some resonance in 2023! And obviously, this blog being what it is we start with an Elseworld that probably no one has given any thought to since it first came out almost twenty years ago! Synopsis We open with a character we'll meet again later Maria Contranetti, a struggling comedian putting up a flyer, only for her coffee to be spilled by a ...

  YOU OUGHTTA BE IN PICTURES JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #14 Published:   3rd April 1990 Cover Date:  May 1990 Cover Artists:   Bart Sears Writer:  Keith Giffen Penciler:  Linda Medley Inker:   José Marzan, Jr. Colourist:   Gene D'Angelo Letterer:   Albert DeGuzman Editors:   Kevin Dooley / Andrew Helfer Introduction In one of those strange coincidences we're picking up with the JLE more or less where I left off last time, though to be fair I've been skipping things for a little while. Truth be told the handling of Pee Gee isn't one of my favourites and having seen them covered recently I've held back a little so I could get a little distance for a relatively fresh look at the book (hopefully). Sypnosis Seven years ago we have a relatively geeky person with his high-tech device of a video cassette recorder! When he's struck by electricity or lighting, lightning is all good for this in the DC Universe, his consciousness is somehow stuck in the ...

Adventures of Superman #463 Speed Kills! February 1990 It's one of the classic Superman vs. Flash races, though this time it's caused by the efforts of one Mister Mxyzptlk. During the race we see various people reacting to the race. One of those is the current JLE, who at this time includes Pee Gee, she's less than keen on Wally Flash winning, which makes total sense considering how much of a pillock he is in the then-current JLE comic.
