DC's Civil War Envy Reaches Ridiculous Proportions

You remember not so long ago when Marvel had people all aflutter over "unregistered mutants" or "unregistered super-heroes." Man, that sucked.

But don't worry--there's nothing stupid that Marvel can do that DC can't find a way to much stupider. For, in this week's New 52: Futures End #14, we get this:

"Unregistered super-powered alternate Earth fugitive." Wow.

DC: forever learning the wrong lessons.

And just when we thought Deathstroke couldn't have a dumber costume...

Tales From The Quarter Bin--Legion Lagniappe!

So, in my never-ending quest to catch up with everything I missed during my time out of comics, I came across this in my trawling through the Quarter Bin:

Aw, yeah!!

But then, many weeks later, when I finally open the thing, I fond this inside:

Free Legion stickers?!? Winnage!!!!!

I don't even thin these stickers were from that particular issue originally...so double winnage!!

Of course, now I'm sad that there is no Legion in the DC Universe right now...sigh....

Hey, nu52!! Weren't the members of Legion Lost left trapped in the present? Where the hell are they? Why aren't we getting some of them featured in Future's End instead of losers like Grifter and Mr. (Not So) Terrific?!?

P.S. If you don't recognize some of those folks, try using this handy flowchart! (click to embiggen):

The DC Mad LIbs Crazy But Wonderful Solicitation Game--The Home Version!

From DC's June solicits, specifically for Futures End #6:

Ray Palmer, Frankenstein and Amethyst take a dangerous journey into the Phantom Zone!

Best. Solicit. Ever.

It's not as random as it might seem at first blush--Frankenstein and Amethyst have both seen action in JL Dark, while Ray Palmer and Frankenstein were both Agents Of S.H.A.D.E., and thus they were all written by Jeff Lemire at some point. Yeah, the Phantom Zone seems kinds of random, but in a good way.

That puts me in mind of a great game we can play. Let's take the basic template:

BLANK, BLANK and BLANK take a dangerous journey to BLANK!

And let's do pre-nu52, because, well, it has a much wider (and mich more interesting) crayon box to work with.

How about "Aquaman, Arsenal and Arm-Fall-Off-Boy take a dangerous journey to Skartaris!"

See what I did there?

Or maybe "Ragman, Rag Doll and Brother Power The Geek take a dangerous journey to Nanda Parbat!"

Or to heck with subtle themes. Just get really random: "Liberty Belle, Sam Simeon and Ladytron take a dangerous journey to Rann!" Tell me you wouldn't read that!

So let your freak flags fly, dear readers--come up with your ultimate DC solicit using the template. Best suggestion wins our eternal respect...

"G'nort, Matter-Eater-Lad and Jonah Hex take a dangerous journey to Sub Diego!"

I can't stop!!!
