24 Thoughts About 24 Comics – A Very Darth Vader Euphemism
Lots of comics are doing their best impersonations of other comics today…
The Wicked + The Divine starts to resemble Warren Ellis' Hellblazer….
So Warren Ellis' Injection starts to resemble Phonogram while Atomic Robo #1 does a pretty good The Wicked + The Divine…
And Phonogram lets them all go at it as it switches from one very famous video with lyrics that everyone gets wrong…
…to another. And tagging the title of the third volume in the process.
While one of Kieron Gillen's many other comic books out today gives us the kind of language in Mercury Heat we'd associate more with Ellis or Ennis. Looks like he's joined the sweary squad…
Well, at least he can't do that with Darth Vader #9.
Ah, the tradesman's entrance. Well, there is also British upper class euphemism he can employ, from the mouths of the Empire. Let's check in with the Collins dictionary.noun
- the entrance to a large house used by tradesmen to deliver goods and services; usually at the side or rear of the house
- (slang) the anus
Talking of such euphemisms…
Star Trek Green Lantern #3 there. I think Kirk may have had a very different picture there, Hal. Like, maybe you had a second brain located where the dinosaurs used to have theirs…
Say, Do you miss Rob Liefeld on Cable and Deadpool? Don't worry, Bloodstrike has you covered…
While over at Dark Horse… guess what this comic is? 
No, it's the first issue of Mirror's Edge: Exordium but it does a good impersonation of a Buffy comic book as well….
Starve has been showing us kitchen battles, but with this issue makes it incredibly literal. Not only must meals be prepared but the kitchens in question must be invaded and secured. An utterly incredible comic book concept and execution. Makes Gordon Ramsey look like Pee Wee Herman. Food is war.
Bitch Planet continues it's sci-fi sexploitawaretation comic, that also seems to match much of the plot of the seventies movie version of British TV show Porridge….
Crossed +100 #8 gets incredibly nasty, matching that Alan Moore finale from issue 6. And Spurrier is only two issues in! Gabriel's cartoony touches take the edge of initially, but I get the feeling it's only there to placate you and draw you in…
Crossed: Badlands wonders what would happen if Harvey Pekar survived to fight the Crossed…
While God Is Dead #42 just gets offensive. I mean, is there really such a need for such homophobic language when there are other deities present? It only entrenches such ideas in the heavenly (or hellishly) zeitgeist. Anything we can do to reverse this trend?
Thank goodness for Holy F*cked #1 from Action Lab: Danger Zone for giving us little balance. And possibly starting a number of protests outside their offices. You just can't win these days.
Letter 44 #20 gives us a slightly less user-friendly alternative to the USB stick. But how else are you going to watch the leaked Supergirl pilot?
That still doesn't mean she's gay though. From The Bunker #14.
Has the order "comply" ever actually worked? Boy-1 #2 reacts as I think, well, everyone would. "Here's your coffee. Kindly comply by drinking it." "Screw your coffee!" I think there would be revolution.
Long Distance #4 delivers the dangers of emoji. I concur, the differing dialects can cause real confusion. Can emojis please come with subtitles? It would save so much grief.
Onyx #2 gives me my latest insult, for the next time anyone asks me to comply. "Screw you, you spore-tainted mother!" or similar.
The X-Files Season 11 #2 brings back the Peacocks. Remember them from Season 4?
"Home" was the first episode of The X-Files to receive a viewer discretion warning for graphic content and the only to have carried a TV-MA rating upon broadcast.
Yeah, and this issue isn't any better…
Suiciders, the best looking comic book out today by far, with a look that so outdoes Vertigo's Mad Max comics hat one could cry, also has some difficulty with language.
Time for All-Star Section Eight to school them in the art of good manners. Of all people.
And for Catwoman possibly to give me my second favourite skull moment of the week.
The other, from 1602: Angela Witch Hunter is just too spoilery, even for me…
