I'm far far too lazy.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, that picture of Jimmy wondering why Superman hasn't rescued him yet, DID make me smile. That should really happen more often.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I really do like Eduardo Barreto artwork.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-24162398628793592622008-11-06T11:17:00.000-04:002008-11-06T11:17:00.000-04:00A quick mental census of my Bizarro resources tell...A quick mental census of my Bizarro resources tells me I have enough!

I find myself dissecting the Bizarro-speak and questioning the antonyms the writer chooses. The problem, of course, lies in the fact that not everything has a direct opposite. Is the opposite of "I" "you" or "me"? <BR/><BR/>Like you said, its fine for 8 pages or so, but build a whole story around Bizarro (or even worse, an arc) and I'm too frustrated by the Bizarro-speak to care. <BR/><BR/>I much prefer the more modern, Frankenstein-ish Bizarro. <BR/><BR/>Having said all that, I'd definitely be up for a Bizarro week.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-33455445494944149402008-11-06T10:28:00.000-04:002008-11-06T10:28:00.000-04:00Maybe I should do a Bizarro week?

Themes just fuel a blog like nothing else...<BR/><BR/>To be fair, I do like the Silver Age stuff, though a little goes a long way.<BR/><BR/>Post-Crisis, there's the Bizarro "clone" stuff which plays on Frankenstein-ish pathos. It's ok, though a little dull (done better on the WB cartoon).<BR/><BR/>Then, I stopped following Superman, so if there was Bizarro stuff, I haven't really seen it. All-Star Superman did Bizarro justice (which is my reference to postmodernism), though many thought they were the weakest issues. And I can't argue with that.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-62090601038478034412008-11-06T10:01:00.000-04:002008-11-06T10:01:00.000-04:00Have you liked any of the modern Bizarro stuff?Have you liked any of the modern Bizarro stuff?Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132196355430345167noreply@blogger.com
