Screw the Giffen League -- THIS is COMEDY!

Last week I had one of the most unintentionally funny weeks at the comic shop in a long time.

First, if you've been following James Robinson's Cry for Justice mini, you know there was huge dramatic cliffhanger at the end of issue #6 involving the fates of Prometheus and Green Arrow's home, Star City.

However, the outcome of Cry For Justice#7 is presented in flashback and the fates of Prometheus and Star City are revealed in the regular JLA series issue#41.

Which was released this past week.

The same week as Cry For Justice#6.

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA!

No, really,I'm not making this up.

Gosh, that'll provide a strong incentive to purchase Cry For Justice#7 when it comes out next month.

NOT!!!

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA!

Not only that, but in the Blackest Night books, Ray "The Atom" Palmer, whom Robinson had torturing criminals by walking on their brains in Cry For Justice, and whom J. Michael Straczynski had not caring that the Joker was dying in a recent Brave And The Bold, has been chosen by the Indigo Tribe to represent (*snicker*)....wait for it....COMPASSION!

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

And here I thought that the Giffen/DeMatteis version of the Justice League was the funny one.

(Hee!)

Say what you will, but Cry for Justice has been superbly, horribly hilarious. But yes, I WAS a bit taken aback to see the resolutions to things that allegedly haven't even happened yet.
