To quote 'Megatokyo' on the subject: There are no heroes.
Of course, in six years I'll look even more the fool when all the major comics universes (and some minor ones owned by artists or previously sold be a major comics publisher) will unite to form the greatest summer crossover event of all hyperactivecrosstime: 'Mullet'. Which, will be a single splashpage of every hero ever in history and future, with a mullet proudly displayed.
On a more connected, semi-serious note, who in the DCU's got pets? Krypto, Comet, that starfish (Prot?) of Hal Jordan's... where, everybody sing, where have all the heroes (pets) gone? Except Comet's a tranny alien now, right? And Krypto got punched in the brains by Superboy.
Does anybody have just a nice, normal, non-super animal, like Animal Man's family used to have a kitten? Aside from Catwoman, who probably still - and damned well should - have a ton of cats hanging around.
I know families and lovers are hard to manage when you have to have the dangerthrills every six pages, but pets might be less rape-able, maybe. Imagine the gut-wrenching annoyance when Kyle Rayner, for example, is out in the deep cosmos kicking alien ass for the good of Earthlings everywhere (in the States) and he suddenly realizes he left Breetai, his cute little Schipperke puppy, with only enough food and water for three days... and it's already been... nine or ten!
He can't just leave his girlfriend without food for days, giving us a thrilling threat, but a pet? Wait. Someone else make the joke where that's why she was in the fridge. Then we can come back to the pets. |
