More Wednesday Comics!

[kingrockwell]

Again, I come to the table late and have to choose just one! Figure I should consider myself lucky I even got that much, though.

This week I bring you Walt Simonson and Brian Stelfreeze's The Demon and Catwoman!

It was either this or more Flash (though Risso's art on Batman is just lovely this week!), and we might want to save some Flashes for later. Last week was all about introductions, now we're finally getting somewhere as the ball gets rolling!

And for mods' sake, I'm gonna go ahead and keep a count of what's been posted so far:
Hawkman: 2
Superman: 1
Wonder Woman: 1
Supergirl: 1
Metal Men: 1
Flash: 1
Metamorpho: 1
The Demon and Catwoman: 1

One more spot open for this week if you want to post something from this issue!

Uh. Nobody sounds right.

Is the idea of WC to have people who have no idea how these characters sound work on them?

Is the idea of people who read WC not to realize they're out of continuity? As long as it doesn't shit on the characters . . . . let. It. Go.

I agree, but even setting that aside, I don't see how either character sounds wrong here. The Etrigan here is perfectly in-line with Kirby's.

I am not a DCU fanboy, as you're talking to me like one("Let...it...go"? Uh, it doesn't bug me as much as that), and do not give a single flying fuck about continuity, nor did I say anything about it. I am not talking about continuity. I'm looking at this as basically a casual reader with a familiarity with the characters that is fairly basic. I am saying that, to me, they don't sound right. The question is not whether they sound like any particular version. The question is whether they sound convincingly like the characters. It's not my fault they fall flat. And sound stiff.

There was a time when Moore's rhyming was new. It was weird. But he made me accept it.
