The Spirit #16
Apr. 24th, 2008 04:52 amSo I never actually post scans of what's pretty much my favourite comic book right now. Scratch that; totally my favourite. The Spirit is a sundae of awesome, drizzled in awesomesauce and topped with super-cool whip and cherries of spectacularness.
It should be properly consumed, not just picked at.
(I'm a little sleep-deprived.)
It's funny, just over-the-top enough for a pulp feel, and the Spirit's adventures are exactly that. Adventures! I could gush for hours about this, really. If you like things that are good and things that are comic books, it's required reading, really. XD
But...
Frank Miller writing/directing a Spirit movie scares me, especially with the tagline "Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again." Not to mention a poster about Central City screaming. Methinks he's confusing Denny Colt with undead Goddamn-Batman in a fedora.
The only thing that could make me like this book any better is the Flash turning up (it does take place in Central City, after all), being turned into a woman, then becoming a re-occuring character as a cranky-but-silly reluctant love interest that has all kinds of entertaining cat-fights with Silk Satin while Spirit and Ebony watch with popcorn. That would be awesome.
Okay, I'll go to bed now.
