Nobody should be this flippin' out over a picture and be sober, man oh man am I excited and totally head over heels in love with Bart right now.

Action Comics #594

Today is, apparently, Jason Todd's birthday.

Early this morning I was going through some random issues of Action Comics, and came across this one. From 1987, Robin meets Superman for the first time.

( Now, keep both your hands on the line... )

For today, I'm going to pretend that one issue of Nightwing just never happened.

Kingdom for a Heart

I was listening to this, and suddenly thought of Bruce. So I'm sharing the lyrics, and, as always, I can get you the song if you'd like to hear it.

( Sonata Arctica: Kingdom for a Heart )

Oh fantasy metal, I love you so. Also, I'm a hopeless romantic.

P.S. I'm totally obsessed with this song. ::dances::

Action Comics #592

So if you saw those scans of Action Comics #593 and were wondering just how the heck Clark and Barda ended up all mind-whammied and having porno-sex by Sleez, or just have always wanted to see Barda as a dancing girl, you're in luck!

We start with Barda walking through Metropolis; she's just wandered into the Suicide Slums, and is not impressed. After much comparison to Apokolips, she's accosted by a pimp who likes her style. She's not impressed with that, either. Or with the purse-snatcher who runs off with her mega-rod.

Don't piss off Barda. Seriously.

( Who's your old man, sweetcakes? )

Turns out Sleez is down in the sewers. He goes on for a while about how he's been thrown out of Apokolips and is trying to make something of himself. Then lives up to his name. Good thing Clark shows up! Right?

( What follows is both hot and disturbing. )

Barda's still not right in the head from Sleez's mind manipulation. So when Clark stops her from killing the little turd, she responds... aggressively.

( And kicks his ass. )

So there you have it. And, if you haven't read what happens next, the fun bits are found in this post.
