Top 5 from Earlier this Year
Batman #5
Spinning round and round,
A labyrinth, crypt, and tomb,
Help! Batman is gone.
“The Court of Owls
has sentenced you to die!” What
art, what wit, what doom.
Saga #1
The pregnant woman
screams, “Am I shitting?!”
A baby is born.
Shakespeare and Star Wars,
Montagues and Capulets,
Raunchy robot sex.
Animal Man #4
My dearest daughter,
Please stop talking to dead things.
It is scaring me.
Look! Savage flesh-beast!
No! Run mother! Run brother!
Whoa. Talking cat.
Penguin: Pain and Prejudice #2
Oswald Cobblepot.
The Penguin, runs the Iceberg.
A tortured childhood.
A “beautiful boy,”
Says mother. “Killer,”
groan brothers, father.
Birds of Prey #7
Cubicle jobs stink.
One day, paper cuts, next day,
murderous ladies.
The first date: mind games.
Second date: mind control. Next?
Decapitation.
Bottom 5 from Earlier this Year
Batman: The Dark Knight #1
Like Michael Bay films?
Hate characterization?
Cliched dialogue?
Batman: The Dork Knight
Steroid art arriving at
A trashcan near you.
The Incredible Hulk #1
Who is Bruce Banner
without his alter ego
Incredible Hulk?
Boring. And the Hulk?
An angry philosopher.
Who thinks, and smashes.
Catwoman #5
“I just kick their ass,”
Cat said. “I’m funny like that.”
Kitty roid rages.
“I’ve learned my lesson,”
she thinks. “Won’t get caught again.”
Nevermind. Whoopsies.
Snarked! #5
The dictionary
is easier for children
than this comic is.
Supercalifrag-
ilisticexpiali
docious. In a book.
Suicide Squad #3
Once upon a time,
There was Princess Harley Quinn.
Only love? Joker.
HQ fans, beware.
Loaning her “clown car.” Her words.
To all! Not Joker.
