In Blue Devil #25, Dan Cassidy and Jimmy Olsen team up to battle an attempt by terrorist leprechauns to destroy Ireland using the Bio-Restorative formula that created Swamp Thing.
One more time, that's:
Jimmy Olsen...
Terrorist Leprechauns...
...And the Swamp Thing.My work here is done.
As Ireland's number one comic blogger, I must have this comic!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure terrorist leprechauns were the result of their all-day Guinness drinking session.
ReplyDeleteDoes Mike Sterling know about this comic?
ReplyDelete(I, fortunately, have a copy)
Oddly enough, Gordon, that was my first thought on reading it, too.
ReplyDeleteI asked, and he does.
Sacre bleu! My head, it has exploded!
ReplyDeleteAnd DC cancelled this comic......why?
ReplyDeleteProbably because comics bloggers, readers of said blogs and small children seem to be the only audience that don't mind if their funnybooks are actually funny from time to time... And, let's face it, there are'nt nearly enough of us blogospheroids to make up for the legion of children who aren't buying and reading comics at all these days (American comics, at least).
ReplyDeleteThat said, it's still kinda sad that there is a large contingent of adult comic book fans who apparently have no idea what the word "comic" means.
Where has the the "Bwa-ha-ha" gone, Comicsweblogosphereians? Where?

Speaking of, why haven't we heard further from the Faerie Liberation Front? Surely the Blue Devil and crew couldn't have wrapped up their entire organization.
ReplyDeleteActually, given the current state of comics, if they ever did make a return, it would no doubt be for some mind-bogglingly gorey purpose.
And yes, I _am_ going to take this opportunity to plug my Blue Devil website (http://bluedevil.uatu.net). But that's okay, since I read this blog all the time and this isn't gratuitous.
"Speaking of, why haven't we heard further from the Faerie Liberation Front?"
ReplyDeleteWell where exactly do you think the Sheeda Queen's invasion in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers came from?
"That said, it's still kinda sad that there is a large contingent of adult comic book fans who apparently have no idea what the word "comic" means."
ReplyDeleteOr "adult," for that matter.
What's with Blue Devil's pose in that third panel? Look at his hands. I'm not familiar with this character, is one of his powers the ability to brain leprechauns with an invisible baseball bat?
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does Jimmy Olsen look about 40 in that panel?
ReplyDeleteWel think of Olsen's lifestyle. He spends all of his time being transformed into various aliens and marrying gorillas. That's got to take a toll on a man.

He's been handcuffed by the leprechauns, naturally.
Ah, I had thought the yellow stuff at his wrists was part of the outfit since the ribbing effect on them went so well with the sweater.
