Comics and cartoons

……. do you remember when you at least pretended that your superhero comics could be enjoyed by children?

Green Lantern Emerald Warriors #5 – out in December. Just stupid DC.

$4 and a cover that no mom and dad would buy for their children. What was it people were saying about DC Entertainment cutting DC Comics adrift to fail?

    What’s not to enjoy by a child there?

    WTF?!

    Guy Gardner doesn’t rock the bowl cut anymore? The fuck?!

    Yep, that cover does look gross. Now, if was green projectile vomit, that’d be different but it isn’t. THAT’D be funny to most children these days but it’s blood and there’s even blood seeping from Gardner’s eyes, too and while I enjoy 1970s Italian ‘Giallo’s’ and films like Zombie Flesh Eaters, IMHO this cover is pushing it just a bit. Anyone remember the Howard Chaykin Guy Gardner cover from Green Lantern #196? Now THAT was a cover.
