Quote Of The Week--Codename: Dumbass Edition

From War Of The Supermen #2, written by Sterling Gates and James Robinson:

Wow. Once more, with feeling:

You know, it took two authors to come up with a line that bad..."Obviously, with the codename 'Assassin,' I've killed more people than I can recall."

Folks, writing that stilted and crappy doesn't just happen by itself! Let's hear it for our writers!!

But, it's not just the writers--we must congratulate Eduardo Pansica and Wayne Faucher for how they sell the line. Look at the concentration on Codename: Assassin's face--marvel at the intense (yet pointless and inappropriate) gesticulation he uses to deliver the line...it's almost Shatnerian:

Wow again.

Thank you, War Of The Supermen #2, for helping us get over the end of Siege so quickly. I'll be repeating this line in my head all day...

"Obviously, with the codename..."
