Martian Manhunter Vol 2 issue 24 - J'onn goes beserk

And does a very passable impression of the Hulk?

J'onn is recounting to Kyle the (imaginary) time Booster and Beetle hid all of his chocos stash. The rest of the team know what's going on but when J'onn asks them they wuss out of clueing him in (I recognise Guy but who are the females?)

J'onn's sh*t-eating grin is pure gold! It soon disappears though when he discovers there aren't any available packs of chocos within a one mile radius because Beetle and Booster have bought them all...

So much love!

And speaking of Kyle and J'onn, a request! Can anyone please tell me what arc/title/issue this scan is from?

kingrockwell has already kindly suggested Doug Mahnke and Joe Kelly are involved - going on this and the sketchy results of a google search, I think it may be JLA:Obsidian Age? Or am I totally off base? Help! Is Obsidian Age worth getting anyway?

	Yeah, pretty much. I don't think humans bend that way. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 8 comments) (Show 8 comments)

	I'm in that position right now reading and typing on my intrawebs machine in bed. Tis too possible. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Actually, I just checked and I can bend that way fairly easily. It should be noted that I'm hyperflexible in most of my joints, though. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Chiming in as another person who finds that position not too difficult or uncomfortable to be in. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	I find it amazing that people can lie comfortably with their crotch and back both pointing up, honestly. If he was standing in that position, people would be screaming "LIEFEEEEEELD!" (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	With the ground supporting you, especially adding in the elbow, it's easier to twist that way. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

It's quite uncomfortable to be twisted that far around standing up unless it is done only very briefly in the process of stretching for most people, true. But partly laying down, with the ground giving support and one or both elbows to balance with, it's not actually all that awful a position. I can personally go into that one (how he is specifically, not standing up) without injury. It doesn't stay comfortable for long unless you've stretched really well first (after a little bit, you will be changing positions to something that works better long-term), but if it's just for a minute or two, it is completely anatomically feasible. I mean, I'm kind of bendy, but definitely no contortionist, and I actually have very mild scoliosis, and I can bend like that without an issue. There's a difference between "that's kind of funny looking and may cause cramping after a while" and "holy shit, that requires broken bones or otherwise not normal anatomy".
