why is sir sean on the cover?

From Wiki:

Vartox bears a striking resemblance to Scottish actor Sean Connery and his name and appearance are regarded as an allusion to the movie Zardoz in which Connery starred.

^ Just about to put that. Hilarious.


Liked the setup for each character, like their occupation and life-expectancy. Poor Blue Snowman. Felt bad for her. Not that anybody'd be using her character anyway.

#8 was great. Who knew Vartox had some depth to him? All his scenes of explaining things to Kara were gold. I especially loved Conner's artwork on the page of Kara returning home. And having Sivana show up should prove intersting.

Yep, another great issue, Vartox was a riot, all of the 70's names for devices and refrences from movies scattered through out the issue had me rolling, this is probably one of the more underrated books coming out, I know last issue picked up some readers, hopefully this one does as well, utterly hilarious.

How about Mad Scientist vs. Mad Scientist rant? Pure comedic gold by Palmotti and perfectly rendered by Connors.

^ Yes! I was just about to mention Badger's rant to Satanna was hilariously accurate.

Ix Negaspike spitting out the arm of Blue Snow Man was kind of funny. Sad to see her go. I liked how they took an old Superman side-character, Vartox, and turned him into Power Girl's "Maxima".

Just found out the cover homage of #7.


Also, me thinks that PG is getting a bit too lonely to have even considered Vartox.

#9 was pretty good. Lots of fun stuff, especially the opening scenes. Lucky Mr. Paul. Anyone else catch Charlie, Mid-Nite's owl, watching mice on TV? Amanda Conner is fantastic.

Any plans for a TPB of this series?

Bam.

Thank you VERY much!

And now we play the waiting game....

9 was hilarious. The pie crust covering her hoohah was very tongue-in-cheek. Not sure how I'm feeling about Satanna just yet, but we'll see. Oh, and how convenient that nullifier covered her space as if it were her achilles heel.

I'm sad now.

Yep, until I hear who's taking over this title is going on the drop list unfortunately.

why are they leaving the book?

Amanda could only commit to a year, and Greymiotti want to leave on a high note with her.

Commitment issues. Any idea who's coming on next?

Not yet.

Tarnation!

The new team's been announced as Judd Winick & Sami Basri. I'll give 'em a shot.

#10 was good. Loved the cover and the scenes of PG in the comic store.

i have high hopes that winick is able to maintain the sense of humor the team has established in this book!

^ Didn't know about this. I guess I'll go Blue Lantern with you guys.

#10 kept things great, per usual. Love the banter that scratches the fourth wall. Artist trouble, making the book late, was a great comment in the comic store.

I'm glad this wasn't another case of Terra just going bad. That name has enough of a stigma

^ I even thought it was odd that she was eating a banana, and then I was like, "Oh, looks like a fruit-cart behind her," and dismissed it. It actually surprised me.

Loved the call on cliched banter between heroes fighting by "Terra".
