The Best And Worst of The Spirit: The Return of Dr. Cobra

[seriousfic]

Okay, so the Spirit's second adventure ever and what fiendish villain will he face? Well, the same guy he fought last time. Maybe Eisner was really proud of that "Dr. Cobra" name. But isn't it kinda like having a Fantastic Four sequel about Dr. Doom coming back to harsh the FF's squee with a new plan? Or a Superman sequel about Lex Luthor doing something to ruin Superman's day? Or a Superman threequel about Lex Luthor doing the same things he did the first time, only on a slightly grander scale?

Wait...





Buy a goddamn car, Spirit.



...you can get thrown into an insane asylum for claustrophobia?











Man, that would totally be Spiritdickery if the phrase [character name]dickery weren't completely trite and unfunny now.

It's all funny until she falls down the stairs and breaks her neck because she can't see where she's going. Then she'd just a pretty corpse.

I do find the Spirit pretty impressive. Not many people can hand from a tree branch by their toes, let alone in dress shoes.
