It looks like someone would rather go incognito rather than let Geoff Johns finally get around to writing his adventures...
It's not just billboards asking the question...
It starts off as just another day in Fawcett City, when,,,
But while fires can be frightening things, someone is maybe overreacting a little bit?
Billy is right, as Captain Marvel rescues the wife and daughter pretty easily!
This is where things get kind of strange...
So, she married a hobo? And he stopped being a hobo? They never tell us what profession he adopted...And at the first hint of trouble, he abandons that new life to become a hobo again, without even waiting to find out his family's fate?!? And she knows this is going to happen?!?
I'm just saying, there seems to be some evidence of mental instability there...
Nowadays, there's probably some hobo locating app you could use. But back then? Good luck getting cooperation from other hobos--because Captain Marvel is The Man!
And...
Yes, damn those hobos and their standoffish ways!
Hey, now that's just rude!
But using the wisdom of Solomon...
Huge missed opportunity here for a crossover with hobo Namor!!
And we're treated to the odd sight of the Flying Hobo!
Well, Hunky doesn't want to be found:
"An old hobo enemy of mine"?? What is this, Hobo Game Of Thrones?!?!? Hmmm, someone get me HBO on the line...
Well, Cap eventually catches up to Hunky, and convinces him that he's been kind of a dumbass:
Dude, you took off to be a hobo at the first sign of flames!!! You didn't even stick around for a funeral or anything! You sooo wanted to be a hobo again, you didn't even wait for anyone to be declared dead!!
Well, alls well that ends well. Until Hunky comes home one day, and his family isn't back from the grocery store yet, so he assumes they're dead and just takes off for the road again...
Don't jinx yourself, Cap. Knowing Geoff Johns, he'll have you destitute and miserable within 2 issues...
