Happy Valentine's Day...or something.

Okay, I don't really like Valentine's Day.  But two recent Valentine's Day-themed posts at One True GL and the Hoosier Journal of Inanity inspired me to post a picture of my favorite DC couple.

So, here you go, Adam Strange and his Rannian girlfriend Alanna, greeting each other after Adam is finally Zeta-beamed back to Rann:

Awwz!

Considering that Adam gets Zeta-beamed to Rann from Earth about every month or so, that's a lot of seconds.  Or maybe he's just exaggerating for dramatic effect.  I tend to take people literally.

You know I'm not big Valentine's Day person either. So, all I can say is...space parasite! Space Parasite!

Maybe that was my last Valentines-themed post...

Hey, I just thought of something...You like superheroes (especially those without powers) and you like purple...So, you like the Phantom and Alicia Keys' music video for 'Try sleeping with a broken heart'?

The only good thing about Valentine's is candy and that's it. I shall spare you my anti-Valentine's Day rant.

Yes, I like The Phantom! But more because he's an old pulp hero. I love the old skool take-down-gangster-type heroes. I'm psyched for the SyFy Phantom show that's coming up and hope it won't disappoint.

I never saw that music video so I just looked it up. (I kinda live in a cultural bubble.) And ooooh, purple water.... Alicia Keys is so talented. I really do like her, even though I mostly listen to non-vocal music.

I'm going to do a post sometime about the lack of superheroes who wear purple vs. how many villains wear purple. I think there's a reason for it, but I just haven't figured it out. Other than the Phantom and Alan Scott, (and Huntress), there aren't too many purple-garbed superheroes...

When I grow up and become a big time comic book creator, my main crossover/fame whore hero will be draped in purple for that exact reason. The Phantom and Catwoman can't just corn the market on purple clad super-heroes!

SyFy and disappointment are, as I understand it, synonyms. Unless you're looking forward to Phantom as M.A.N.T.I.S.?

I just get psyched anytime I see a comic book hero make it to TV. Then it's a way for me to get the uninitiated into comics...

The SciFi channel IS disappointment. I'm still hurting over The Invisible Man. I loved that show...it was a good show, which they cancelled for no reason.
