It's just that I first started delving into the Martian Manhunter's Silver Age in the Diabolu Idol-Head period, and I think those stories were terrible. My only enjoyment came from the goofiness of Zook, so I was immediately endeared. Had he hung on into the Marco Xavier stories, he would have ruined them, so for me he was around just long enough to be a saving grace rather than an albatross. For other readers, I expect he was just the punctuation point on a misguided creative direction.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-78415715883502642422012-01-08T01:57:02.673-06:002012-01-08T01:57:02.673-06:00I feel so bad for saying this, but no matter how h...I feel so bad for saying this, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't warm up to Zook. Maybe I'm still bitter that J'onn's canine pal only lasted one issue. Or maybe I just liked seeing J'onn work solo. I've tried really hard to like the little...guy...space monkey?...but it never clicked.<br /><br />Maybe you can warm my cold, cold heart, Frank.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-13466022464127153252012-01-04T15:58:58.910-06:002012-01-04T15:58:58.910-06:00It sounds better than any of the stuffy weddings I...It sounds better than any of the stuffy weddings I've been to.

I had a good frend get married last year (and showing our geek here) her whole wedding was DC themed, with her dressing as Black Canary and her groom as green arrow. Her wedding party was all JLA characters. No Martian Manhunter alas, but guests were given the option to dress, and I went as Gypsy (old Detroit JLA costume) LOL. I know geeky as heck, but it was a lot of fun.Bookgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818125401769011993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-52446180858386744222012-01-02T06:05:41.088-06:002012-01-02T06:05:41.088-06:00As always, I learn so much from this blog.

While I can talk at length about Streaky the Super-cat (my own oddity) I know almost nothing about Zook. <br /><br />So I also look forward to these supporting cast posts!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-8771466531256496532012-01-02T01:41:42.480-06:002012-01-02T01:41:42.480-06:00I'm really not very familiar with MM's old...I'm really not very familiar with MM's old school supporting cast, so I'm looking forward to your posts in 2012!<br /><br />The Irredeemable Shag<br />http://firestormfan.comThe Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-51404673219280568752012-01-01T13:06:07.794-06:002012-01-01T13:06:07.794-06:00I'm always down for fun stuff.I'm always down for fun stuff.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-31108874493476767502012-01-01T12:09:13.444-06:002012-01-01T12:09:13.444-06:00I think we all need to read silver age comics with...I think we all need to read silver age comics with the same weed glasses great authors like at least Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid and Paul Dini do. That era was full of mind blowing concepts portrayed as if they were barely special. I got the honor of reading the late Dwayne McDuffie telling me that I have to train myself to read those; I guess maybe kids back then were able to see that greatness without making an effort. <br />Zook would definitively ruin MM if he returned to be on every new story, but as and arc or a recurring character there is a lot of surreal potential.Rafa Rivashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966910376474609150noreply@blogger.com
