DC doesn't wanna have fun anymore.

So long, Bart. So long, fun at DC.

That cover is brilliant. When did comedic timing end as an acceptable cover-art form?

How is it Bart's fault DC jacked up the Flash relaunch? Hardly seems fair to make him take the bullet for it...

Well...Wally's back, which is good, but not at Bart's expense. However, I'm still not quite so sure that Bart is gone forever, because Braniac sure was being enigmatic there about getting the one they wanted. So I guess I'll reserve judgement.

Good cover though.

I agree...fun comics are on the wane. However, I sure don't miss the giant "ski boots" Barberi stuck on his characters.

I guess they had Bart violently killed because they don't own the rights to Bilson and DeMeo?

I still expect DC to launch a new anthology titled "Less Fun Comics" one of these days.

That is as hilarious and tragic as the exchange in JLI between Blue Beetle and Booster Gold where Booster says Max will shoot 'em in the head if they screw up and Beetle says naw, he'd go for the spine, cripple you for life. Guess Booster owes Ted five bucks.
