DC has lapped me.

I'm visiting Post Modern Barney as he covers the DC solicits for October, and I scroll down and see this:
"Captain Carrot and the Final Ark", Issue 1! So there actually was a point to that weird Teen Titans appearance back in Dec 05! I'm still not at all pleased of the slapdash way that was handled... what with the conveniently dramatic corruption of Alley-Kat-Abra and the utter lack of Scott Shaw! artwork, but it looks like it was definitely in-continuity. Note the entirely redundant patriotic team member American Eagle in the background of the cover, plus Felina and Little Cheese are nowhere to be seen. That cover is pure Shaw!, but hopefully we get full interiors of genuine Shaw! work this time, DC?
Final Ark is a three issue miniseries that ties in to Countdown. Unbelievable but true! Earth-C is one of the 52! I am so freakin' excited right now.
BUT THEN...
I scroll further down the page and receive this:
That is a goddamn Ambush Bug minimate that is neither a fan repaint nor a seductive Photoshopping. I should be at my store right now ordering multiple copies of all of this.
As I mentioned a long time ago, the Zoo Crew and Ambush Bug were instrumental in getting me into comics, specifically DC. So getting slapped in the puss by the return of both was simultaneously unsettling and invigorating. |
