Seven stories! 80 pages! All the stories take place within an "alternative reality" going on at JSA headquarters being caused by Dr. Fate.
The stories are hit and miss. I liked the first story by James Robinson (!!) which features some flashbacks to Ma Hunkel and Mr. America, and a story where Damage deals with some of his past.
These scans are from a story by Jen Van Meter where Cyclone teams up with Wildcat against Icicle (who gets points for calling Cyclone "Pippi Longstocking"). But before the fighting we get this conversation:

That's "little lamb" baby soft soap there


Interesting take on the window. Of course, Peej's boobs are drawn more realistically here, albeit still big, than they usually are.

Date: 2009-11-19 11:15 pm (UTC)It's not quite a pet peeve of mine, but I think it might become one if this happens more. Probably because I'm too titchy.

Date: 2009-11-19 11:31 pm (UTC)And, uh, that is the lamest logic for the hole since...well, I'd say since they explained Black Canary's fishnets, but no one ever explained that. How exactly do exposed boobs distract gay men, asexual robots, non-humanoid aliens, uplifted animals, and Sheldon Cooper?
Here's a hint to the writers: if you're ashamed of what you do, and have to resort to small-minded excuses to justify working with such flamboyant characters, mmmmaybe you're in the wrong business, because as a programmer, when I see holes in my code that I don't like, I patch them.

asexual robots
The boobs probably break one or two laws of physics, that'd engage any electronic minds.
non-humanoid aliens,
According to all the pulp sci-fi magazine covers I've ever seen, ALL aliens (be they scaled, feathered or just plain slimy) find well-endowed Earth women desirable,
uplifted animals,
If they're mammals, they know what a mammary is for.
and Sheldon Cooper?
You got me there...

Date: 2009-11-20 05:09 am (UTC)Hell, it *would* work to throw-off male opponents (gay men, in the DCU? Surely you jest). Some of them, at least.
It's when they try to rationalise it as an act of defiant feminism or rebellion or whatever that it becomes face-palm material. YMMV.
