Action Comics #594

[shankie]

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.
















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

Sigh, juxtaposing these scans with the Nightwing scans is just heartbreaking. I hate current DC so much, I really do. I'm pretty much just reading comics from 10 years ago and trying to ignore all the current stuff. And the old comics are corny but fabulous, when heroes were Heroes, not just big balls o'angst. I never really understood the movement towards gritty "realistic" comics where characters get killed off by the boatload so that the other characters can be all angsty and badass. If we want depressing we can turn on the news, and if we want dark comics we can go read Punisher. I want DC to be happy again.

Yup. Whenever I'm bummed, I just go read my favourite comic book ever; And Graves Give Up Their Dead..., Action Comics #585. That's freakin' SUPERMAN.

::sigh:: As much as I do love a lot of what's coming out recently, there's so much ANGST. And I'm the Queen of Angst over here, but even I think it's a little much.
