Manic Monday--Spitting Image Part 2

Dear Image...

Please stop putting the "Next Issue" ads on the freaking back covers of your comics!!

You don't do it on all of your books--is it just the Shadowline titles?--but you do it often enough to tick me off.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that it's a good tactic to put a full-page spoil of the reveal for the current issue's final panel ON ONE OF THE FLIPPING COVERS where it often can't be avoided.

Put them on the inside in the back, where I'm less likely to be spoiled unnecessarily.

Thank you.

Friday Night Fights--Double Shot Style!!

Friday Night Fights, Feet Of Fury edition is upon us again, and this time we're taking the quarter-bin express to the dark days of 1998, when I was out of comics.

Let's tune into Robin/Argent Double-Shot #1 (1998), plotted by Dan Jurgens, scripted by Chuck Dixon, pencilled by Greg Land (!), and inked by Jose Marzan:

BAM!!! But, this is a Double-Shot, right? so where's Argent's foot-to-face action??


KERSPOW!!

Hey, wait a minute...that's not Argent!! How can it be a "Double-Shot" when you have THREE heroes in it? I cry foul!!

Happy Birthday, Spacebooger!!

BONUS RANT: Here's the cover for our issue:

Here's a line from the text page of the issue, by editor Eddie Berganaza:

"This issue's cover by Greg Land and Jose Marzan Jr is a tribute to a similar pose Batman and Robin took for Carmine Infantino."

Wait a minute--Greg Land basing his artwork on other people's poses? Whoever woulda thought...?
