Weekend Recap 12/14
Posted by meekrat on December 14, 2009
Bah humbug, it’s Monday. Here’s your commentary.
Say what you will about the giant metallic vacuum, it makes a lot more sense than that ratty old one Spider-Man has in the Sunday comic. I do wonder where he got the giant metallic vacuum, though. The ratty old one was probably Aunt May’s, or perhaps his own. You’d think he would get one with a hose attachment, though? It would have made sucking up Sandman much easier. Also, what’s with Spider-Man calling Sandman “dude”? That’s just weird.
About the only thing I like about these two comics is Derek’s acknowledgement that we already knew about the lightning bolt taking out the Wheelman. Good on you, Derek.
Now, Diana is more than pleased to immediately condemn the Warden, but I’m not so sure she’s as out-and-out evil as Diana thinks. After all, the Warden saw what Chatu would do to a woman for seemingly no reason: if she went against Chatu’s wishes, there’s no telling what would happen to her. So I look forward to seeing if we explore the Warden’s character a bit more.
If Flash Gordon is the only man who is a match for Ming the Merciless, and Wartog is not, then I wouldn’t be thinking that Flash is the dead man. Also, you’re not really battling him. You’re shooting at him while he’s riding around on a flying jet-ski. Pretty sure you’re still going to lose, though.
Meanwhile, high above the Misty Mountains, an eagle spied a horde of goblins and wargs attacking a tree on the other side of the mountains and gathered several of his brethren to see what was happening. And no, I’m not going to stop making references to Middle-Earth as long as the Phantom is in the Misty Mountains.
On a different note, Heloise looks kind of stoned. Did they give her valium for the flight or something?
Mat said
Kit’s so scared of his dad.
Scott de B. said
Wait, the warden is a woman? I’m pretty sure she’s a he.
meekrat said
Note the bun. She looks like a kindly old grandmother.
Scott de B. said
But the warden is from a different culture. Maybe they like the drawn-back look. Note the lack of bosom, the mannish hands, the strong forehead. No offense, but if that is a woman it looks like she got beaten with an ugly stick.

If you look closely, she does have a bosom. It’s not plentiful, by any means, but it’s there.
