After nearly seven months of comic-fasting, I finally bought comics! Wooo! I only had enough moolah for two though, so I settled for Supes and Bats.

Superman/Batman #50:

Fifty issues of bizzare yet entertaining stories. Superman/Batman is a very underrated book; it’s either a hit or miss for fans. Some of my friends love it’s unusual plots, the rest think of it as DC’s shark-jumpers and refuses to accept their stories as canon. With their 50th issue, one would think that they really had jumped the shark.

Thomas Wayne meeting Jor-El before Bruce and Kal were born? Jor-El could have picked any other planet with a yellow sun, but he chose earth because of Thomas Wayne, who used Kryptonian technology to salvage his then dying company to a very very successful one? WUT? They’ve been pushing the ‘Supes and Bats are destined to be together’ thing for years, but this is going to far!

Still good for for a light read, even with the whole SUPES&BATS BFF thing. This isn’t a case of shark-jumping, it’s just another one of Michael Green’s lame attempts to be ‘notorious’ in the industry. Nice try.

Superman/Batman #51:

My reaction went from WUT to WHAT THE SHI~Oh wait, this is a Supes/Bats book. Yet another visit from an alternate universe yay! This time, from the ADORABLE UNIVERSE! When will they go back to the gender-reversal universe, huh? HUH?

Shock and horror!

Shotacon! Oh yes!

So we have a whole mini-me’s of the JLA in Gotham, Supes and Bats were like lolwut. D’awww moments galore. In the Adorable universe, everything is..well, adorable! Happier even!  It’s literally a G-rated version of the DCU. I just love the conversations between Supes/Bats and their mini-me counterparts. “Who are you?” “I’m Batman.” No. You’re not.” Yes, I am.” “I’m Batman.” “Please. make me laugh again.” “Excuse me?” I’m the Goshdarn batma–” ” Be quiet.” I see what you did there.

“MY PARENTS WERE BULLIIIEEEEED!”

Lolicon! With multiple partners too!

Of course, the culprit HAD to be Myxzptlk. It was oh so very obvious. Add the fact that only Supes/Bats writers remembers him, coz they have an excuse: “It’s Superman/Batman!” He needs to wreck havok in other books too, DC!

So yeah, that’s about it. The OH GOD WHAT’S HAPPENING moments is pretty much business as usual for a Supes/Bats book, here’s hoping that they return to gender-reversal earth! I wanna see girl Darkseid!

In other news; just when I decided to temporarily stop buying Marvel stuff, THIS happens:
