Sluggo Saturday #19.
WHO WOULDN’T
thehulkkilledmichaeljackson.com – Your one-stop shop for a handful of vague accusations and some awesome MS Paint drawings.
Found during a Michael Jackson image search. Yes, I was looking for Michael Jackson images. I had my reasons. Don’t you judge me.
So a quick Googling tells me this is old news to current comics internet chatter, but my curiosity about where else Green Lantern foe Nekron has appeared turned up Green Lantern Annual #7 from 1998. The story? Dead Green Lanterns come back to life as a bunch of nogoodniks, and Nekron appears to be involved, somehow:
Yeah, the annual (and its possible precursor status to Blackest Night) has already been discussed in excruciating detail here and there on the ‘net, but I wanted to post this page because seeing this old-school GL digging out of his grave made me laugh and laugh for no good reason I can easily explain, aside from my own innate cruelty:
In other news:
…with 25% off all in-stock graphic novels. And hey, if you’re reading this, you can get in on it, too. Send me an e-mail, or even give me a call (805-653-2732) and let my soothing tones lull you into a shopping dreamland, and if we have it in stock, you’ll get it at the sale price (plus our very reasonable shipping costs). Offer ends at midnight tonight, Pacific time (and you’ll have to e-mail me after 6 PM, since I won’t be answering the phone at that point). And if you can’t get your order in before midnight…well, I can probably be talked into extending the deadline a bit.
And feel free to ask me for other stuff, too. Back issues, action figures, trading cards, whatever. If we have it, I’ll be happy to offer it to you.
Okay, I don’t often go for the blatant commercial announcement here on the site, but a combination of a slow-ish end of summer/September and some recent enormous distributor bills have things a bit tight around here, so I hope you’ll forgive this intrusion. I wouldn’t do it if we couldn’t seriously use the scratch.
Thanks, internet pals!
First, if you’d ever wondered why the otherwise seemingly normal-looking Elastic Girl appeared to be stuck with a group of heroes who were (for the lack of a better term) “freaks,” it was probably because she kept doing weird crap like this:
Second,
All that aside…every Little Lulu book is worth buying. A true classic of the medium.
Looks like Arisia has more to say, my friends, so let’s take a look:
Adam kicks it off with a tribute to the Greatest Batman Comic of Them All:
Bully the Little Stuffed Bull whips out some more typography magic:
And that’s enough of that. Regular service on this website should resume tomorrow.
Folks started to mention it in the comments for yesterday’s Sluggo Saturday post, but reader Patrick had sent me a particular image inspired by the very same zeitgeist this morning. The humor of it depends, I think, on your knowledge of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing:
I’ve had bit of a computer problem here at Progressive Ruin Headquarters, which thankfully is not serious (i.e. nothing expensive needed replacement, and no irreplaceable data was lost), but the end result is that I’ve spent quite a while reinstalling system software and programs, and as my computer is held together pretty much by hope and prayers, I’ve been doing some juggling to make sure everything is working together the same way it was before. So, if some of you were wondering why “Sluggo Saturday” was so late yesterday…that’s why. (I ended up posting that one from work.)
Ultimately, “Operation: Get Mike’s Computotron Running Again” hasn’t left me with any time to put together the “Other Things Arisia Was Saying” follow-up post. I’ll try to get it up Monday, so if you had any of your own entries you wanted to send in, you’ve got a day’s extension.
So I’m gonna call a “time-out” for this site today, while I continue to get my computer back in fightin’ shape. Thanks for reading, and I’ll talk to you tomorrrow.
