Didn't Aquaman have a semi-long hair in the 90s, not a mullet? It was Supes who had the horrible mullet.

I thought Aquaman was now back to his "classic" (pre-90s) look, but apparently not, at least not in this comic.

Interestingly, Neal Adams has no use for continuity. I think it's supposed to be an early adventure, but it's so clearly just Neal Adams doing things the way they should be. As we shall next issue when Batman meets the current president, Ultimate Warrior.

Well, because whatever happened changed him. (Dr. Superman), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 07:25 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, the Hamilton mini was 1986 [xp to tuomas]

Aquaman was iirc given his hand back by The Lady Of The Lake in return for defeating The Thirst, although this was a water filled glove kind of affair. I think his proper hand came back after he used the bones of it to pull Sub Diego back onto dry land while he was the Dweller In The Depths and was properly fixed while he was a Black Lantern.

I should get out more.

Fucking DC. Return of Bruce Wayne is running so late that he's already back in these bloody 'Road Home' things. Why don't they delay THEm so it all makes sense. And why is Return running late anyway? Each issue has a different artist and they still can't get it right. Fucksake!

buildings with goats on the roof (James Morrison), Friday, 15 October 2010 02:53 (thirteen years ago) link

Morrison's at fault there, as evidence by artists dropping out when the scripts don't arrive and rush-jobs by hacks going to print late instead.

kinda goes with morrison, but can't believe they don't make him turn in the whole fucking series in advance at this point.

DC have still blown their own scheduling on it though, dropping FOUR of the side-mini-series issues in ONE WEEK and getting the "now read X next!" blurbs wrong in at least one

I have no idea what is going on in this comic, but Mr. Adams has kindly put together a recap page like this. Now, having read it, I really have no idea what is going on.

okay that is REALLY making me want to buy a Batman comic

DJP, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 16:49 (thirteen years ago) link

there's a very real possibility that this will make even less sense in trade

THEY WERE DOING THEIR TRAPEZE ACT!

this dude has no idea how to use ellipsis

a professional climbing axe is a rich man's toy (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link

i mean read that panel out loud and give each ellipsis a good 2 second pause and the dialogue gets even wackier

he looks like arnold getting explosively decompressed in Total Recall

Princess TamTam, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 20:17 (thirteen years ago) link

so he's saying "ask away." with that face

looks like a cross between jon hamm and christopher lloyd

robin...
dick.

am0n, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link

is the storyline that the Graysons stole someone's trapeze moves, and therefore they were justifiably kiled under circus law? And now Batman has to kill Robin under that same circus law, because he's a real stickler for following the law, even circus law?

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Robin's... dick is exactly what I would call the rich man's climbing tool in the first image above. Am I wrong? Or does it look totally like a sex toy?

they call him (remy bean), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link

its weird that sienkiewicz is now inking this, after all those years painting himself out of that 'neal adams' copyist tag

Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 21:50 (thirteen years ago) link

For my review of this I was planning on posting that first page and just leave it at that. Sadly, I have no scanner and GIS was coming up with nothing so I just posted two clips from IRMA VEP.

I can't stop thinking about what happened to that axe between panels (and for the rest of the issue!)

Has Batman been naked this whole time?
