Be careful what you wish for...

First post at the new place, thought I'd do my part.

This is from World's Funnest, and I think I actually got these scans once upon a time from Scans Daily 1.0, but it's well worth reposting!

Enjoy...





GodDAMN I love the bombastic writing here. It's so deliciously Kirbyesque!



And I still think this answer makes as much sense as any.



As a bonus, I'll throw in my absolute favorite picture of one of the greatest super-couples of all time...



What more need be said?

Will I ever get tired of Alan Davis art?

NO!

[da_reap]

At one point, I thought it would make a cool statue. But then I got hung up on whether the Mister Miracle figure should be removable or not... Or, since it's HIM, whether the girder-tie should be removable as well.

*Shrug*

Motto. So very motto.

Morrison is slipping it seems he missed a small peice of continuity that no one remembers tsk tsk tsk.

That as the anti-life equation would have made Final Crisis awesome.

[da_reap]

YES

SO VERY MUCH THIS

(And funny thing, I'd even seen reprints of this right next to Final Crisis issues coming out!)

David Mazzuchelli was Jack Kirby all along? And no one told me? What a twist!

[jlroberson]

David Mazzuchelli can draw anything.

By the way, pick up his new one ASTERIOS POLYP. It's quite amazing.

[thehefner]

It really is. Might well be the best comic I've read all year. Masterful stuff.

"Needs" "more" "quotation" "marks" !!

Eh, The Omega Effect means you can talk like that all you damn well feel like... until the imps start to play. :)

Love World's Funnest, one of a number of books I now own because of scans_daily.
Love Scott/Barda. Love Alan Davis. Love Alan Davis drawing Scott/Barda (okay honestly, between this and Another Nail, all i know Alan Davis for is Scott/Barda).

[da_reap]

Eh, my love for Scott/Barda can be traced back to that magnificent post done by teh_no, once upon a time, featuring the immortal line "Remember, girls, when sexually objectified, lift a cannon." Since then, there's been no stopping me.

[kingrockwell]

I think I loved them from the first time I stumbled across Kirby's Mister Miracle at the library.

[jaybee3]

I love this. I so would have liked to seen Morrison actually use this instead of what we actually got in Final Crisis.

[cmdr_zoom]

My favorites are still the segment drawn by Miller (where it's clear he IS doing parody, rather than his more recent work where we're all uncomfortably waiting to be told it's all a joke - it's got to be... right?) and Bizarro World's one-panel cameo:

"WE AM DOOMED! YAYYY!"

[da_reap]

Miller's bit is another one I love, especially one special dear-to-my-heart line...

"And I swear I see another forty teeth fall out of him as his face breaks the glass."

[jlroberson]

I recall that was in his brief pro-indie comics period. It was good for some Sin City ink from the Comics Journal. Then he turned again.

[silverzeo]

Will anyone else post anything scans of this or the Kingdom COme fart in this book?

[mrosa]

Why is this Anti-Life Equation creepier than the one Morrison used in Final Crisis?
