Especially with the "animal" comment.<BR/><BR/>Lurker: ...before turning the gun on himself.<BR/><BR/>Johnathan: Hey, don't give them any more ideas!<BR/><BR/>Captain Koma: I remember that -- especially the scrumptious "daddy bear" in the Web. They <I>tried</I> to make it darker when they canceled their initial batch of titles and decided that the Comet was a villain, but I'd say it still didn't match up to the blood-soaked pap churned out by the current administration over there.<BR/><BR/>Johnathan: You're an optimist; I like that.<BR/><BR/>Dean: Heh. But that's been DC's problem since the 60's: they've abandoned any attempt at creating their own style (in their super-hero mags, anyway) in favor of doing bad imitations of Whatever Marvel Is Like Right Now.Jeremy Rizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480479249595700846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796287.post-10091474976545401242008-08-05T22:15:00.000-05:002008-08-05T22:15:00.000-05:00See, when you mentioned vicious, sniping self-pity...See, when you mentioned vicious, sniping self-pitying crybabies, I thought you meant the Marvel Universe.

The Mighty Crusaders could be idealistic and non-grim (except for the Comet. And the Hangman. And sometimes the Black Hood).
