"I've always loved the inner child that Jar Jar brought out in all of us, especially me. But there comes a time where everyone must let go of the child and take responsibility for their actions, and we see Jar Jar come to that realisation in this one-shot." -- Ahmed Best

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

In light of the advice in the last paragraph, and due to work requirements, I think I will leave things short and sweet, and simply wish a Happy Mar10 Day, to those who celebrate the achievements of video games most prominent plumber.

Giffen, Jones, Rogers. Warning for some cruelty-to-animals comedy on a couple of covers.

Justice League Europe was in no hurry to get back to high-octane excitement after the Extremists arc. The last two issues had seen the team playing around on the beach and shopping in London. Issue #22 involves an actual crime and a JLE-adjacent character in some jeopardy, but within those bounds, it’s still as low-stakes as you can imagine.

( Like, ‘‘Scarlet Skier vs. Snapper Carr’’ low-stakes. )

Today, the Greatest Generation is all but gone. The fingerprints it left on superhero comic books still linger, but we’re always interrogating what its legacy means to us. But one thing was clear enough as Germany reunified: the “unreconstructed German Nazi” trope, common in comics of the 1960s, was aging out of relevance. Giffen and DeMatteis (and Medley) wanted to be the ones to lay it to rest. It would be defeated by…age itself.

Edit to add: next entry will come late on Monday--I'm traveling and might not get enough unbroken time to finish it for a little while.

( If only being a Nazi today MADE you old, like M. Night Shyamalan’s beach. )

Warning for lots of Nazi and Hitler imagery.

In a meta sense, the real threat to a figure like General Glory isn’t Nazis; it’s disillusionment, the vision of America with bloodied hands that can never be made clean. The General will face both threats in these pages, and he’s much more able to address one than the other. And this was produced during the early Nineties, with reference to the early Forties, which were both relatively good times for American patriotism. [Glances at headlines, shakes head, sighs]

( The Vietnam and Trump eras have been hard enough on Captain America; I’d rather not imagine the General trying to cope with them. )

I have indirectly heard that Grant Morrison said they like Absolute Martian Manhunter and to me that makes us married. -- Deniz Camp

Which is, as I sort of expected, a little short on ring slinging, since I figures they'll be saving that for the full trailer, or even the actual premiere.

( Also, a lot swearier than I expected )

Half of the names in the book are still names. Kilowog is still Kilowog. But, you know, Tomar Re, I think he's like Re something else now. Technically speaking, Jo Mullein is Tomar Jo. God, that does sound very manga. Maybe what everybody's saying is right. I am accidentally writing a manga. -- Al Ewing
