Adventure Comics #517 - Freudian Sound Effects

[perletwo]

In keeping with the theme of superfangirl1's Adventure 517 post, I thought I'd point out that Cosmic Boy suddenly has an interesting addition to how they represent his powerset.





Once I could've excused. But Cos SPROINGs his way through the whole dang issue!



Snarkers, start your engines. Riffing commences in 3...2...1.... XD

1 page, that makes 5 posted from a 20-page story.

There is no in-comm tag for co-penciler Marlo Alquiza or inker Travis Lanham, if a mod wouldn't mind adding them?

Whyyy, hello there sir! ;)

Also, his face on the bottom panel is just... terribad.

"Sometimes I think about Cosmic Boy doing a sproing... and then I go do a sproing by myself."

panel 1, that robot dude on the right looks like he's about to break into song. "I feel pretty, Oh so pretty..."

Why why WHYYYYYY did I decide to start reading comics again? I don't dig pain. No, not even the trendy kind.

[sigh]

On it's own, the "SPROING" could pass. But with that face...!

[pallas_athena]

It's official. We have now seen Cos's sproing-face.

See, *this* is why I love SD. I read the whole issue without noticing the sproings. I went back and checked. There were seven. Seven sproings. Plus the one or two more that I'm sure happened off-screen towards the end there.

So what are those things? DCU Sentinels?

[perletwo]

Minions of a space-pirate called Zarytan, who's been raiding some sort of manufacturing plant outside Metropolis. They don't catch Zarytan, so if this is an ongoing arc I assume he's the Big Bad of it.

Its a prequel to the death of lightning lad from the early 60's.

[perletwo]

Ahaa! I've only ever seen the resurrection story, reprinted in digests - never caught up with the death story.

This particular model appear to be based on OMACs. I don't find myself able to believe that that's a coincidence.

[superfangirl1]

Hey you're right! :D Cool.

Cosmic Boy uses his new power: Robot Arousal beam.

Cosmic Boy: {uses power}

Robot 1 (on the left): {Sproing} What the- ?!

Robot 1 (on the right): {head tilt} Damn Dave.....

That robot on the left, combined with the word SPROING, is...

It's just beautiful, isn't it? The whole page. In that cracky sort of way. :D

I'm not sad to see Levitz take one last trot around the yard. It's not good but it's hella fun.
