More Reheated Tweets: Special Comic Book Edition

Hi there! Welcome to I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You, your internet provider of electronic cauliflower. I'm Dave-El and I've gotta very important question: can a bitch get a doughnut?   

Today is Wednesday which is New Comic Book Day in comic shops all across this great nation of ours. Coming out today is DC Universe: Rebirth#1 which kicks off this whole Rebirth reboot/not a reboot thingy. While I'm wondering how much I care about this whole thing, I am studiously trying to avoid all the spoilers that broke out this past weekend when the cone of silence over this book done got broke. I may have to actually make a trip down to Acme Comics and pick this one up today.  

But that's about looking to the future. Let's take a look at comic books from the past in the form of some Reheated Tweets from my account on Twitter which can be found here. 

These Tweets were posted by my followers and includes my response to said Tweets. 

Let's start with @AaronMeyers who posts on Twitter the various comic book back issue finds he's made. For example, this issue of Captain Marvel. Here's the cover Aaron posted and my subsequent comment.

@AaronMeyers You can tell Captain Marvel was still new at this; he's so green.

@dave_el1938 it makes comics sense. Unstable molecules :-)

By the way, the illustration above is from a Superman & Batman story in the 1970s from World's Finest Comics written by Denny O'Neil. The art is by that silver age comics grandmaster Murphy Anderson.

The next Tweet is about the Batman TV show from the 1960s.

Batman 66 Labels ‏@BatLabels May 15

Dave-El‏@dave_el1938 May 15

@BatLabels @SarahLister Oddly enough, Bat Wax Solvent is a popular off the shelf product in Gotham City's home décor boutiques.

One of the many absurd things about the 1960s Batman TV show was how the word BAT or the Batman logo wound up plastered on everything. I expect it was something Robin went crazy with whenever he got bored.

Still, I find the idea that some of these Bat-labeled products were actually things you could buy off the shelf in Gotham City to be incredibly funny.

Bully, The L.S.B. ‏@bully_thelsb May 12

I never knew I needed to see this so much.pic.twitter.com/90lAWQae4q

Dave-El‏@dave_el1938 May 12

@bully_thelsb Hawkeye is showing Ant Man the "arrow" of his ways.
Ouch!
Hey! Who just shot me with an arrow?

And yes, this cover serves as the inspiration for the similar scene in Captain America: Civil War.

Below is a post from one of Twitter followers with the variant Frank Miller cover for Dark Knight III: The Master Race#4.

I don't think this cover is bad. It's incredibly strange. But everything strange about it is a choice.pic.twitter.com/CEvwbU1BKF

I think McGee Gorgo was being generous. Here's my comment on this.  

Dave-El‏@dave_el1938 Apr 28

@mcgee_gorgo "This is so wrong"
"So wrong"
"Tell him he needs to redraw this"
"No, YOU tell him to redraw this"
"No, you tell him"
"Oh no!"

Finally, Twitter follower Penny posted the following and below that is my response.

I finally snagged the Night Nurse digital omnibus from Google Play....pic.twitter.com/E4bXvzlJ4m

Dave-El‏@dave_el1938 Apr 28

@pennyddreadful Linda, in fact, did not know what she was doing. She was trained as a dental hygienist, not a medical nurse.
