I think Tim Sale's art managed to give it a certain mood that the other comics didn't have. Tim Sale just can't get enough praise. That guy is beyond human. Thanks a lot for your reply.  "Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up. See this? This is my boomstick! It's a 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan; retails for about one hundred nine, ninety-five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right, shop smart, shop S-Mart!" (by Ash Williams, from Army of Darkness).

A few weeks I was looking through the "Comics" folder on my hard drive and stumbled across something I'd almost forgotten about. Some old notes for a scathing parody of the "Supergirl from Krypton" story arc; similar to what I did a few years ago in a parody of Jeph Loeb's "Hush." I started wondering if I ought to (shudder) reread the source material and then finish up the parody and post it? The plot holes, the wildly-out-of-character clueless assumptions, the this, the that, and the other thing that were all wrong with the arc?
