Aug. 18th, 2004 04:26 pmThere's really only one person here who will think this one's funny, but what's an LJ for if you can't have incomprehensible silliness?
Anyway, I was wanting a copy of ACTION COMICS #591, because it's got the Legion of Super-Heroes in it, so I looked it up on MileHigh, and then I got a look at the cover.
Anybody else looking at that picture would, I'm sure, be focusing on the Superboy/Superman punchup. Me? I'm down there on the left going "Brainiac 5 is hugging Sun Boy!!"
(Non-Legion fans: Brainy is the Legion's emotionally distant genius. Sun Boy is the Legion's cheerful slut. So: lots of gaping at this image. Also giggling.)
I'm just trying to envision this. Was it: "Brainy, I'm frightened by this sudden and inexplicable violence! Hold me!" Or: "My understanding of reality is unraveling! I must embrace Sun Boy and take comfort in his solidity!" Or maybe: "No, Sun Boy, you mustn't try to stop them! >choke< I couldn't bear to lose you too!" "Oh, Brainy, I never knew you cared..."
(Okay, yeah, it's time to lay off the bad romance novels.)
And what happened after the fight was over? Did Brainy carry Sun Boy back to his laboratory, where they made tender love in amongst the forcefield generators and sentient computers? Or did Sun Boy scandalize Smallville by tearing off Brainy's eggplant jumpsuit right there in the street? I want to know these things, dammit!
