Batman: No Man's Land: Young Justice Special (Story #14)

No Man's Land continues with a story about Young Justice that isn't written by the main writer of Young Justice. (We will get there)

The comic opens on not-actually-a-member of Young Justice: Lagoon Boy! For those of you who don't know Lagoon Boy, he was a creation of the Erik Larsen's run on Aquaman. Kinda looks like Savage Dragon. And I agree that Atlantis could use some more little freaks. It is shame that Lagoon Boy is most famous for being killed...twice in some very bad comics.

Anyway, Lagoon Boy is swimming towards Gotham when he ambushed by comics fourth best snake cult: Kobra! The cult is doing some shady stuff near Gotham, and they fire torpedoes at Lagoon Boy.

Meanwhile, Kon-El is being extremely thirsty for a robot girl at Young Justice Headquarters, and I just got to say, I do not want to see what Chuck Dixon thinks about what makes people find horny. Just bad, Chuck.

Impulse and Superboy are trying to cheer up a sad Robin. Tim is annoyed that Batman said he can't be in Gotham, but Bart and Kon realize that Bats never said that Young Justice could be in No Man's Land.

So, we get Superboy, Impulse, Robin, and Lagoon Boy all breaking in Gotham in different ways. It is nice to see the heroes break in Gotham individually and the military just getting annoyed that people just keep speeding into the city.

Bart and Kon get into Gotham first (Bart gives a man asking for food a turkey, in one of several good Impulse side-gags in this issue), and they decide to go into Poison Ivy's Forest after seeing smoke from that direction. The pair is attacked by a plant lady... and Superboy is thirsty for all the non-sentient life.

Meanwhile, Robin saves Lagoon Boy from a mob of hungry citizens. The two bond (joking that Lagoon Boy would fit in Gotham just fine) and go to Poison Ivy's territory to save the other boys of Young Justice.

When Robin goes to stop the plant lady, he is interrupted by Batman showing up. Batman saves the boys and then tells them to get the hell out of Gotham!

The heroes leave on the SuperCycle sad that they failed in Batman's eyes, when Lagoon Boy remembers that there are still Kobra subs near Gotham City. Young Justice realizes that they can't let Kobra do some science-terrorism on the struggling Gotham City, so they go under the sea.

Superboy, Lagoon Boy, and Lagoon Boy's pal Blubber (he is a whale with arms and legs) destroy the subs while Impulse and Robin destroy missiles heading towards Gotham. Also, the girls of Young Justice show up for a panel wondering what the boys are doing. Good job Chuck for keeping those weak, nasty girls out this comic *sarcasm*.

This comic is a not great tie-in for either Young Justice or No Man's Land. The nice things that I can say is that the art is good and Impulse is written decently. But that is balanced out by an extremely, uncomfortably horny Superboy. Does some exploration of heroes going to No Man's Land while showing the pointless of military guarding Gotham when superheroes/villains can just break in.

5.5/10

Betrayed - by Larry Trainor!

Doom Patrol #11

Thrilling.

Cliff Steele is kidnapped by Garguax; Valentina Vostok is attacked by Reactron.

Sure, having your heroes attacked by villain is a lazy way for a writer to set a story in motion, but it really works here. In Cliff's case, it works because he finds himself in a brutal and unwinnable battle with a shocking conclusion. In Val's story, we are invested because teammate Larry Trainor is the one behind the attack on her. The ending here, too, is shocking. Cannot wait to read the next issue, and see how they get out of this.

Archie vs. Predator is one of the most demented comics I own. Miles above Archie meets The Punisher. I love it.

(Then there's also that time the original CSI TV show had its own graphic novel series, and one volume was, I shit you not, a crossover with comic book writer RPF, in which someone killed Rich Johnston at a Vegas comic convention, and there's an entire page of creators like Gail Simone, JMS, George Perez, Erik Larsen, and others getting questioned. Not as deranged, but still a bit of a trip. Comics are so weird.)

SAVAGE DRAGON #199

Writer and artist: Erik Larsen Letterer: Rus Wooton Colors: Nikos Koutis Publisher: Image Comics PREVIOUSLY: SAVAGE DRAGON #198 Yes, I’m 5 days late on this, sorry. Anyway, as per the last issue, Malcolm had fallen underground where there lives a subterranean race of beings called Demonoids, which are kinda hard to describe. So here’s a non-spoilery (since there’s no dialog) look at the opening…

Comic Stuff #2

January 2, 2024

The Deadly Duo #1 (Image, 1994)

Killcat, the local hero, is surrounded by his greatest foes. Just as he’s becoming overwhelmed, the scantily clad heroine Dart comes to Killcat’s rescue. It was dream but perhaps a dream of a memory? Anyway, Kid Avenger arrives from the far future and ends up helping Killcat defeat Cement Man. They made a great team so they decide to become a team. Writer Erik Larsen (Savage Dragon) and artist Andy Smith did an excellent job with this debut issue. It’s exciting and funny. I have issue 2 around here somewhere and look forward to reading it.

My Rating: 8

Yosemite Sam #43 (Western Publising, 1977)

In the first story, Sam has a bad toothache and is being a beast to his ship’s crew. Daffy Duck comes rowing up in a raft wanting to come aboard but is rebuffed by Sam (“We don’t want any riff-raff on this ship!”). Daffy cons Sam by posing as a dentist. Hijinks ensue. Following this are several other mediocre tales. Finally, Sam and Daffy return in a story called Daffy Quacks the Case with Daffy as a detective and Sam his helper. There are plenty of off-the-wall jokes and puns that made me smile. This story was very fun and made the issue worthwhile.

[i12bent]

Erik Otto Larsen (Nov. 26, 1931 - 2008) was a Danish abstract painter who debuted in 1965 at Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling. Later in life he turned towards writing crime fiction, starting with a novel set in an art world environment. He won awards for his fiction and one was serialized by Danish TV, long before Nordic Noir was a thing...
