kamino_nekoFather's Day hitting just after the latest Steven Universe episodes dropped presents us with an obvious candidate for some Father's Day posts, I think...
( If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. )
~1.3 page from a 4 page story from the Greg Universe Special, 1 and 1.5 pages from the 14 page lead stories from Steven Universe issues 2 and 3.

One of them was particularly able.
( He stood between Phil and the main villain of the story. )

Let's be careful out there
Jun. 20th, 2015 11:15 amstubbleupdateIf you're reading Secret Wars, you'll know that the Thors are the police force of Battleworld. They arrest those who break Doom's Law and keep the peace. But that isn't all the the police do.
From Thors #1 comes the most out there crack to hit Doomgard
( Thors is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law )

icon_ukA little while ago we celebrated Mother's Day, and I've now been reminded that this weekend is Father's Day so it might be nice to celebrate it in best Scans_Daily fashion!

lego_joker... written by Chuck Dixon.
(That said, it's a strong contender for Greatest Joker Story Ever Ever too, at least in my book.)
One of the few Joker-related things done by the New 52 leadership that I absolutely agree with is their including Detective Comics #726 in the Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years TPB. I find Chuck Dixon to be one of the most criminally underrated Joker writers of all time, and they probably couldn't have picked a better representative of his Joker writing than this one (Robin #85, while delightful, is a little too continuity-heavy, and most of the others are too long).
This is a tight little yarn that depicts the Joker at his most primal - no purple suits, no laughing gas, and he doesn't even leave Arkham. And yet he's instantly recognizable in every panel, not just because of the white skin and green hair, but because Dixon gets the heart of the character: that sneering, sadistic edge, always (always) cut with a genuine comedic flair. It's a lesson that certain other Joker writers would do well to take to heart.
Let's take a look.

ozalineIn war fathers bury their sons...
I wanted to post both of Billy's deaths but comixology does not have the final part of DDP's World War III storyline. In it Billy is captured by Cobra, and the Commander gives him the, "join or die," option. Billy tries to assassinate his father, but instead takes out a body double, and as Billy dies from a toxin, Cobra Commander gloats how he has won over his own humanity: for he loved Billy once, and now he feels nothing.
Posted below is one page from G.I. Joe America's Elite #34 which shows the ceremony with which that Cobra Commander treats his son's body, and then how the Hama-verse version reacts to news of his son's passing in GI Joe A Real American Hero #172, and #174.
