It's 1976, and Aquarius I is about to blast off on Earth's first real deep space mission: 90 days in the emptiness of the outer solar system.
Our crew?
Michael Jordan??
Yes, he sounds like he'll be a valuable crew member...
Daredevil stunt-woman? As opposed to the meek and cowardly stunt-woman?
Washed up at 18? Nobody tell Justin Bieber!!
"Widow" is the best description you can come up with?
Yes, and I was always "too good" to win the Pulitzer for blogging...that's the ticket!
Sigh...of course the ex-convict is the black guy...
Man, that's a pretty motley crew, without a whole lot of actual, you know, useful astronaut or survival skills.
Oh, wait, there are two final crew members:
Hold on--Bruce Wayne is going into space for 3 months??
Wait wait wait--Clark Kent is going into space for three months?????
How does any of this make sense?
Oh, that explains it.
You'd best buckle your seat belts, readers--I think World's Finest #241 (1976) is going to be a bumpy ride...
TO BE CONTINUED
So...Batman is the only one who can pilot the space ship...that seems like poor planning.
ReplyDeleteAlso gotta love "Iron Mike's" thinking there: "Welp, no more wars, best go into space to make stuff blow up!"
"No wars..." was my favorite too....just read this whole series of posts...awesome!
