Yeah, this book warrants its own thread.

I would have gladly paid $5.00 just for the last story alone.

THe only story I didn't like was the Trials of Shazam one. It just didnt grab me as the other ones did.

"You're a mean drunk, Blitz."

That's gold baby.

Buy it.

    "Mommy why does Superman hate Chirstmas?"

    "New York?"

    Haha.

    I love how Batman just randomly followed him there. It's like he read the story and thought "Oh god, Clarks gonna be all over this like green on J'onns balls."

    If you hate this issue you are a bad person of nearly grinchlike proportions.
    You possibly hate freedom as well, it's hard to tell.

    I was so close to asking how many rapes and murders occurred in it. But I chose not to, just this once, in the spirit of the Christmas.

    But seriously, how many? At least four right? Do they go get Booster's skeleton and rape his face bones?

    No rape and no death.

    Though Batwoman apparently throws a batarang so hard it sticks out of someone's skull, they don't die, making me wonder what the fuck the artist was thinking when he drew that.

    I think it came out last week or so. I didn't read it either. I was only kidding about giving you a hard time anyway.

    All is forgiven friend, during this time of great joy and happiness. They even say that if you listen real close, you can hear old Detective Chimp pass on the beer bong over to Blitzen.
