One More Day: 2007



Teen Titans Spotlight on Cyborg: 1987

Both written by JMS.

If you're going to rip yourself off, why rip off pre-emo emo poetry? Rip yourself off from back when you were good. Like... "Making a deal with Mephisto was Peter's last, best hope for peace."

Ooh, or Mephisto could offer Mary-Jane anything she wanted and she could say "I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this."

Actually, the Teen Titans one comes off to me as vaguely "Twilight Zone". The first one, however, is just plain emo.

On second thought, I'm just going to pretend that JMS looked at the screen, looked at the monstrosity he was being forced to write, felt the bile rising in his throat, and just went "Screw it."

Cyborg looks quite a lot like a disco!Sam Spade in that picture.

I say we stage a coup of DC and Marvel. We could place, y'know, actual talented people in the creative roles. A revolutionary idea!

Wait... is he wearing a silver garterbelt?
