adam strange and ray palmer are so funny in New Frontier
adam strange, who just got released from arkham asylum, flies from gotham to indiana, knocks on this guy's door at 3am and is like "please ignore how insane i look anyway you know that thing you invented thats a complete failure? yeah you need to grab that and come with me to florida and we're gonna use it to stop an Eldritch Horror bigger than manhattan island"
and ray palmer, a brilliant scientist, is like "yeah sure" before being carried toddler-style over 1000 miles and arriving just after flash sucker-punched a government agent in the cafeteria
omg im so glad u asked, it's from DC: New Frontier !! absolutely hands down one of the best comic books i've read of all time ever.
It's a justice league origin story, but it's set in the 1950-60's and it does not shy away from the civil rights issues and the political atmosphere of the time period. The writing and pacing is both captivating and haunting and the art is gorjus. i would eat this comic book if i could. look at how fantastic this artwork is
Earth-21: In a world where JFK never died and is ready to lead the United States to the stars. This Earth is protected by young science heroes and pioneers of the Justice League of America
Doctor, with all due respect... you and your contemporaries had your chance. Faced with something as facile as the fickleness of popular opinion, you proudly walked away.
Thank you, DC comics, for teaching me what the saying "the cat's ass" means, because "something that is super cool" is NOT what I expected "the cat's ass" to mean when Robin is being pulled along in Kid Flash's draft and looking at his back the entire time. I AM GOING TO USE IT ON ALL THINGS I LOVE FROM NOW ON, Wally West, you are the cat's ass!
