T.G.I.F.: August 25, 2006


Actually, there were two T.G.I.F. candidates from Batman #656, a comic I enjoyed immensely. I also loved the sequence as the ninja man-bats attack that ends with "Ninja man-bats. Alarming twist."

This panel wins out for it's sheer balls and willingness to be completely over-the-top and off-the-page. For that brief panel, I could hear the voices and the soundtrack, as the Hammer Horror Batman came to life right in front of me. It's also, of course, bringing the Lichtenstein pop-art that decorates the earlier scenes right into the comic itself. It's bold and fun, and made me smile.

It was my favorite of the week. If only Morrison and Kubert could give us an extended run. Something akin to Morrison's stint on the JLA.

I've heard they've got at least 15 issues planned. I guess that's better than the six issue runs you see everywhere else.
