Jason Todd is a character who serves a greater purpose when he’s dead, and I can’t think of a more useless, awful character running around the DCU for the useless and awful reasons he is. Until Grant Morrison wrote the character during his Batman and Robin run, and spent three issues pointing out what a …

173 – Ambush Bug
Another request for my League Night co-host, Joe Grunenwald. I’m actually, sadly, really unfamiliar with Ambush Bug, because if there was a character who seemingly should be right down my alley, it’s this one. He’s a funny character who is aware that he’s a comic character, and he was created by Keith Giffen, a writer/artist …
172 – Supergirl
Watching Justice League Unlimited for my League Night podcast, and I was reminded of how much I dug Supergirl’s costume in the beginning of that cartoon and from the Superman: The Animated Series ‘toon. So I drew her. In that costume. Why are you hassling me?!
168 – Plastic Man
A favorite.
156 – Jesse Custer
I love Preacher, but I will admit that when it was coming out monthly, it was getting on my nerves. However, apparently, I thought the final issue was fantastic, and seemed to be the only one out of my peers who were reading it was as well, that liked it. A few years after it …
155 – Blue Beetle
Another Blue Beetle. Sad that there’s apparently no room in the New DCU for Ted Kord. I’ll still light a candle every night in the window for ya, Teddy.
154 – The American Scream
Happy 4th of July! Over at Ok, PANIC! we celebrated the holiday with the Patriotic Avenger, Captain America, the spirit of the potential of America. However, America has a prevalent shitty side, so I’m showcasing that here with The American Scream, the villain of the first 25 or so issues of Peter Milligan & Chris …
150 – Deadman
I don’t know what the flippity-flap is going on with Deadman in the ol’ comical books, but I know he’s got a strong presence in the New DCU, a member of Justice League Delayed and Justice League Dark, plus a solo story as an opening salvo for the New DCU anthology book. But every time …
148 – Bat-Mite
Another request for Joe Grunenwald (who hasn’t updated his blog in almost two months). The only comics I’ve read with Bat-Mite in them are the Evan Dorkin World’s Funnest Bat-Mite/Mxyzptlk team-up/battle, and the Grant Morrison Batman: RIP storyline, which was hilarious. But I do remember him from the old Batman cartoon I used to watch …
