"DC " kills" off Captain Carrot and company."
 
   In the category of "Let's really WTF":

*spoiler notice*

Let's take the DCU's funny-animal universe. (Earth-C)

Put Superman in it, who isn't changed by the experience. His entry into Earth-C gifts a group of funny-animals with super powers, who become "Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew". It didn't take itself seriously, was a fun read as a kid. Anything with bad guys like Feline Faust or Debil-Dawg doesn't, y'know?

Then, let's take the same funny-animals. We destroy their Earth (thanks Starro the Conquerer), hypnotize them into believing they're depowered, put them (and some of the C-equivalent "JLA" from their Earth-2, Earth C-minus) on an ark (cruise ship) filled with refugees.

Then we somehow Boom Tube them to the DCU's main universe, sending the ship into re-entry from space (!) where they all turn into ordinary animals that are incapable of speech, but remain rational...

...which leads to Zatanna now having a super-hero rabbit (who is now a perfectly ordinary-looking rabbit) for a show partner as the rest of the team is...well...left sitting there at the ship looking stupid. End of series.

What. The. F***. This was a three-part DC mini-series?

   Well, it just goes to show you why we need gas chromatograph mass spectrometers. Left to rely only on my nose, I'd have sworn that was Joe Quesada's urine dripping down the face of yet another childhood memory.

No, if it was Joe Q, he'd be telling us how there are no good stories to follow on from our childhood memories and you should be glad he was there to piss all over it, cause his piss is GENIUS.

Wow, that's sideways. The writer's buddies with Matt Groening, though, so. This is the kind of thing Grant Morrison would've done for Vertigo in the 90's that I would have held a sick fascination for.

Also a little light digging shows that the events of Final Ark take place on Earth-26, and it's not really clear if that's exactly the same continuity as Earth-C-- I've always loved DC for making such a complicated continuity that basically makes every action undoable if you work hard enough for it.

And, hey, he could've done a *lot* worse than winding up with Zatanna! I'd take that trade. :)

   Dan Didio hates you, that's why.

Seriously, are Didio and Quesada having a contest over who can be the biggest asshole? I think Didio was winning until One More Day came out. I fear to think how he's going to try to top that.

You almost made me spit chicken ramen all over my keyboard (and I've already had to replace it once in the last year...)

   The problem is that they think the only way to survive is to do things to insure they have a constant fanbase churn - they can't just keep going, they need to have it ready for new people to pick up.

To them, there is no bad publicity; there's just things that make people who might not look at a comic go 'I should see what this is about'.

Great. Due to random mislinks in my brain, I now have the image of a yellowish scribbly-looking character as head of Marvel editorial, randomly declaring that Reed Richards "likes chocolate milk", Cyclops and Havok are "brother ladies", and Lockjaw is a "moon horsey".

When quizzed on the continuity-shattering specifics of the infernal compact between Peter Parker and Mephisto, naturally, his only response is:

"i pooted."
