Then Boston gets shot and has a sort of "This is your Life Boston Brand" type of moment and says that he doesn't want to die he wants to live so the ring goes back to him.

What, no rapid-aging for Deadman?

[cuntfucius]

Tell me, magical heterosexuals ... ! If one person is a man, and one person is a woman ... does this stuff just naturally happen!? Is there a compulsory, overwhelming urge of NATURALNESS that just takes over you, and allows you to have passionate kisses and fall in love under any circumstances, and any short amount of time!? Media confuses me...this seems like such an exciting existence! And here I am, living a slow-paced gay life where I need to silently assess and scope out my potential partner!!


... But seriously, how long have Boston and Dawn been traveling together? A day? Two days?

[cuntfucius]

Also LOL @ the panel with the white bats omg

[akodo_rokku]

It's hard to judge. It could be a couple of weeks? I think the romance was built pretty naturally, anyway -- SDers were certainly picking up on the shippiness early on.

[sweettart1823]

xDDD RIGHT? I mean come on Dawn, I get that she may have just thought that he could have died, and was happy he was alive and that could be why but she doesn't really seem like the type of person who would be all Lets kiss after the few days she's known him, she seems the type who would keep on a level head about it and want to actually get to know the person.

It's not like they've had deep in depth conversations about anything but being brought back to life and who the white lantern should be.

[icon_uk]

Longer than that, given the events we've seen in other titles, like Max moving against the JL: Lost Generation and Boomerang's being in jail, breaking out etc..

[stolisomancer]

You see, lesbosaurus rex, when a (presumably straight) man and a (presumably straight) woman, both wearing outfits so tight that you can tell what religion he is, are traveling around getting into incredibly dangerous situations on a nearly constant basis, they may wind up making out.

Some of that is human nature, i.e. reports of people banging like rabbits during the Blitz. Something about surviving an incredibly dangerous situation seems to make the human animal immediately say, "Oh shit. Quick, make more people in case that happens again!"

Some of that is, well, goofy writing.

Maybe it's the ring. Procreation is after all, an aspect of life and growth.

Hey, if pink Kryptonite exists...

[bwhahahabeck]

Well, now I'm replacing Dove with Hawk in this scenario and find myself quite appeased.

[jaybee3]

I think the relationship is extra-forced so Johns and Tomasi can bring us the extra angst when Boston does die (and he will - he's Deadman, he'll go back to it). I also think either Dove/Dawn or Dove/Don Hall are the White Lantern avatars and Boston just has to realize it.

[big_daddy_d]

Seriously it just seems random if you ask me.

[aeolos_sakya]

Well, I don't know what Dove migh be thinking, but after the whole shoting thing and the ring lecture, I thought it was Boston who decided to do it, with the whole "Live life again the way you wish to."
I actually got surprised they decided to do it, since there was a teaser where Dove and Hawk were kissing.

[schala_kid]

Well for me it doesn't but I will tell you a lot of heterosexuals do believe this, I can't tell you how many guys I've just met and like three days later they want to mack on me.

[jjgalahad]

This is a special case, I'd say.

As far as I understand it, Boston Brand has been unable to get so much as a hug without possessing somebody else for decades now. He's also been too ethical to use anyone else's body for anything besides fighting crime. So quite frankly, if he spent another issue rambling about goddamn cheeseburgers after spending DECADES with ZERO physical intimacy, I was just going to assume that he's secretly a zombie/robot/devoid of his genitals.

I'm actually shocked that Dawn's the one initiating the kiss and grabbing his scalp all "Scruff of the neck" style instead of Brand. Assuming that Batman isn't cockblocking them in that last page, I'm just going to assume the next issue will start with the two of them flat-out exhausted in bed together next to a pile of condom wrappers the size of a novelty Christmas tree.

[freezer]

So if I've read this correctly, the ring just bitched out Boston both for trying to foist it on Batman and for not accepting it himself. And it basically called him a self-centered ass?

[akodo_rokku]

Correct.

[nezchan]

So is there a Max Lord asskicking in Batman's future? Because if he didn't put up with it from Zatanna, he sure as hell won't put up with it from Max!

[xammax]

Please that other year long title will culminate in the reunitation of the JLI kicking ass on an international level of badassery and awesomeness; with Ted Kord landing the final blow!

[althechi]

I find it vaguely humorous that Batman doesn't actually have a single line of dialogue throughout the whole thing (barring the last 2 panels.)

[sweettart1823]

He does, just not on these pages. Basically his dialog consists of "Deadman, what are you doing here?" "I wasn't dead I was lost in time" "What is Dove doing here?" "Me?" That's pretty much it more or less xD

[jlroberson]

You know where I'd like this series to go?

ANYWHERE.

[darkknightjrk]

It's being a lot more forward going then it was a few months ago.

[mullon]

I hate it when my jewelry is self-righteous and preachy.

[crooked_arrow]

I have a "What would Jesus do" bracelet, but that's about as close as it gets.

[punishermax]

~Ollie, Hal, Clark, Diana and Dinah stand in the Hall of Justice~

"So is anyone else really uncomfortable with calling it the White Power Ring? I feel like I should punch Strom Thurmond's ghost whenever I say it."

"I'm more concerned with fucking Bruce getting it. Like, seriously? Not Clark or anyone? Bruce fucking Wayne, the guy who can find a god damn dark spot in a supernova? Bruce needs to get the fucking Gray ring for being a god damn downer all the time."

~flash cut to a birthday party, Bruce and Clark both wear small party hats, a small child cries near Bruce~

"So. That's how my parents were shot right in front of me. I watched them bleed to death through holes, leaving lines of gore that left them and took all remnants of the love and care they gave for me with them. So stop bitching that you got the wrong fucking Beyblade."

~Clark puts his head in his hands~

"This is why no one invites you to birthday parties anymore man."

~A pinata smashes through a wall and then crashes through the door~

"SIT THE FUCK DOWN YOU LITTLE BASTARDS, THOSE PAYDAYS ARE MINE. OLLIE I WILL RIP YOUR DICK OFF IF YOU STEP TO THIS SHIT. I WILL SHOVE A MILKY WAY UP YOUR ASS."

~Dinah explodes after the pinata~

"Hey, his sister has all Miley's CDs! Sweet!"

"Get out of the girl's room Hal, you know what the judge said."

~flash cut back~

"Man, that party fucking ruled. Payday's rule."

"So, um just watching this stupid bullshit with the ring and all and..."

"What?"

"You guys ever see the end of the first Pokemon movie? Besides Hal. Because it's happening right now. Also Dove is kissing Boston. So she's kissing a...alive....dead guy?"

"Who the fuck knows anymore, we've all died at least once. I mean Clark-"

"You pull that 'Inspired more people dead than alive' shit and I test to see if we can still come back."

[leikomgwtfbbq]

1) Thank god it's not really Batman who's the Super Special Awesome Chosen White Lantern. XP I was quite afraid it would be.

2) Liveman/Boston is.. kind of hot. For being a comic character and all. Shut up, don't judge me D:<

3) Boston/Dove is my new OTP. I don't care what anyone says. XD

[sweettart1823]

Yesss omg I was so happy it wasn't Batman that was the White Lantern. Thank freaking God. And Boston is hot he's always been hot now that he's alive everyone wants a piece though xD

Also omg your icon <33 I love that picture so so much, it was my background for a while xD I just want to pick that little guy up and cuddle with it *dies*

[ian_karkull]

This is worst comic, printed on ugliest paper.

[biznizzonpeyote]

Ugly paper? Bad grammar? Wow, you're not even trying to troll coherently. Good show /sarcasm.

[pyrotwilight]

Y'know a strange thought but is...that really Dove?

We've already gotten a confusing thing between Hawk and Boomerang about the possible death of "Dove" but Dove and Hawk have been rather busy in BoP too. Is it possible the Dove in BoP or here is a fake? Since a few people speculated after the missions were revealed that someone or something will impersonate Dove (so that both missions get completed).

And the her and him falling for each other seemed pretty obvious for a while, if not a bit odd.

[recognitions]

I still want to know why Boston doesn't sound like a Shea Stadium hotdog vendor anymore. Did he take elocution lessons while he was dead?

[darkblade]

Power Ring translator function?

Dead History.

[nefrekeptah]

You cut out the flashback part? Why?! It was easily the most interesting part of the issue.
