Shankie's House of Guns & Spandex

So, from Justice League of America 80-Page Giant #1 that's come out so recently, I was delighted to find not only time-travel hijinks with our heroes, but... Steel and Wonder Woman ending up in the most fabulous of time and space locales; a pirate ship back in the day. Like something straight out of my fic, Diana is a pirate captain aiding the downtrodden and accidentally winding up chained up in the hold happens. It starts with an angry John Irons in irons and yes, that made me laugh, because I'm silly.



The art has some iffy moments, but we can only get to those if we continue...

( Onward! )

Now I'm real curious as to who that guy is. Why did he float off on wreckage? Did Diana's running straight for a fight with Starro get all her other crewmembers killed? Why isn't this addressed? Gah.

Uh, yeah, so, definitely not the best art or story going on in this issue, but it's relevant to my interests, so there you go.

Also out today... so yeah, spoilers everywhere, donchaknow.

Well, this story arc has a lot of promise! Except for the Smallville references. Could do without those. Anyway...

This is the point of this post:



That sound you hear in the background is me laughing myself sick.

Oh man. But, there's also a great slash value to tap into. Onward to that! And Wally appearing in the slash-fest! Woo!

( You don't want to... talk about it? Do you? )

Bruce pretty much admitting that Clark gets him all wound up? Yeah.

This book's title really does mean something, doesn't it?

So, I have decided to put this up. I think it's a little disturbing, because of it's tone and content; Wally uses no contractions, and it makes his writing almost childlike. I don't know why he doesn't use contractions, that's just how he writes. He also wants anyone that does read it to know that it makes him sound very angry all the time, but that he's not really. And he doesn't hate Mister Gardner anymore because he got to kick his ass since then.

The entries start at the first page of his book, which isn't actually an entry, cuts off a little while after he was allowed to speak again, then picks back up again the day Clark joins Vengeance and ends just after the events of "Again Aboard The Sword of Athena" in the last installment.

The one part that makes me weepy is when he writes about the whore, strangely enough.

This not strictly a part of The Pirates of Vengeance, and if all the gritty details of Wally's enslavement aren't something you like reading, and I can hardly blame you, there's no real need to read this. But if you haven't read that first I can see how this might not make total sense.
