Adventure Comics #4 - Johns Takes a Dookie.
Adventure Comics #4 ( DC - Johns / Gates / Ordway / Wiacek ) The return of Superboy! Superboy-Prime, that is! The grasp of BLACKEST NIGHT knows no bounds, and it is now at the doorstep of Superboy-Prime. Believe it or not, Prime has met his match. The Black Lanterns know his deepest, darkest secrets and force Prime to feel emotions he's long discarded. Plus, in the Legion of Super-Heroes co-feature, Dawnstar is on the trail of the person â" or people â" who have been causing so much trouble for the Legion. But does she get too close to the truth? Her Legion teammate Wildfire comes to her rescue, but are the duo able to discover just who is behind this villainous plot to destroy the known universe? It been no big secret that I love the new Adventure Comics.  I love the Conner Kent character and Johns' new take on the L.E.G.I.O.N.  It was great to see Conner getting his life back on track and playing a part in the DCU.  In fact, Adventure Comics #3, where Conner Kent and Tim Drake reunite for the first time since Conner's return, may be one of my favorite single issues from 2009. Last week  Adventure Comics #4 hit the stands and the cover alone made me want to lose my lunch.  I really thought we were through with Superboy-Prime.  I thought he was a great baddie in Infinite Crisis, decent in the Sinestro War, but then he got played out in Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds.  In my opinion, the best story with Superboy-Prime was when he was introduced in Kurt  Busiek and Stuart Immonen's Superman: Secret Identity. Here in Adventure Comics #4, readers take break from reading the adventures of Conner Kent (who we buy the book for) and are shuffled off to Earth-Prime were Superboy-Prime is reading the events of Blackest Night (Earth Prime is our Earth and the events of the DCU can only be read in comic books) and freaks out because the sees his fate.  And the Black Lanterns show up. It's really not worth going into the story anymore, because it's just not that interesting.  But we are treated to more cheesy dialog and crappy one-liners from Superboy-Prime and he tries to make us believe he's a hero.  Superboy-Prime even admits in the first two pages that he's a complete joke. Seriously, enough is enough.  We cheered at the end of Crisis of Three Worlds because we thought it was the end of the character, now we have to have him again.  Johns is the king of making the lame cool again, but I really don't see that happening again with Superboy-Prime. Kill him off...leave him dead. Grade: C-

They only lack the light to show the way
So I am a software developer, and currently my department is trying to adopt a new approach, a better way of working, a smarter way of working, a way of working that should make our lives easier. "Well that is awesome" I hear you say, "Crack on" I know you're thinking. Sadly, not everyone is along for the ride, which kind of frustrates the rest of us. Why does it frustrate the rest of us? Because it holds us back!
Today in the morning get together we had a "discussion" (read "venting session") about this, and when our manager tried to re-assure us, that all is well, the future is near and we should keep looking forward, I couldn't get this out of my head:
I adore this trailer, and I am sure my manager would be pleased if I said he reminded me of Marlon Brando for those few precious moments. He sounded like Brando though,
"they" are a good people, they only lack the light to show the way
My manager could have been reading from the script as far as I was concerned this morning. "They" are nice people, we just need to help them with this new approach, we need to spread the world, biblical style!
Most days, however, you are beating your head against a brick wall. People think you have gone a little crazy when you try and highlight the finer points of the new plan. This is what you get:
Anyway, whenever you get frustrated at work by others around you, think Brando!!

It's raining in Cairns.
Straight down. No wind. Wet season rain.Earlier than expected.I've been here and farther away since the end of October.Here and listening to lots of this...
Superman's Song is track 3 on The Ghosts That Haunt Me.
Supes (obligatory super hero drawing)
As a kid I drew superheroes all the time, so it's only fitting that I do at least one for nanodrawmo. The superman logo is actually really hard to get right -- or at least, really easy to get wrong. The layers on this one helped a lot…
