  1. Well, it was HIS car you see, and he didn't have insurance...no wonder he was freakin' out!

  2. And if you've got cut-rate insurance, you might wind up with a financial buzz cut. So get Allstate. You can save money and be better protected from Mayhem, like Superman.

  3. LOL! I wonder if this means that for 2012 we're getting the Mole Man's underground creature from Fantastic Four #1?

  5. In my mind, I'm going hear the Wilhelm scream for all 365 of these. This is going to be a great year.

  6. It is a little-known fact that, just as the many parallel Earths of the DC multiverse have alternate versions of Superman, Luthor etc., they also have alternate versions of Freaking-Out Guy. Someday his story will be told.

  7. I'm mortified that you will be able to sustain this for a year and yet totally not surprised, either! It's a great idea.

  9. Ooh, don't forget about the cover of the originally solicited (and unpublished) version of Superman #676: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=354592&GSub=32317

    The initial solicitation: "Superman embarks on a journey with a dying man who has been in the background of the Man Of Steel's life from the very beginning. As they search for answers to the strange riddle of the man's life, they also find themselves ambushed by...The Parasite!"
