Evan is most surely the Milk and Cheese man, as well as the Dork
man.
Surely one of the Funniest Men On Earth.

Is this the first time someone's been outed on the Nexus?

Returning, briefly, to Earth 2...
I've just read it and on first impressions have to say it rocks.
I particularly liked Quitely's tableau on Gericault's 'Scene of
Shipwreck' cause it made me feel all smug having spotted a cultural
reference. I like nothing more than having my ego fellated.
Couldn't really get a grip on Aquaman and Martian Manhunter
having no negative counterparts though, did I miss something?
The CSA just make so much more SENSE than the JLA.

Well, they mentioned white martians, so it's not like he couldn't
exist... and maybe the sea was really polluted? Yeah, I kinds
wondered about that. I like how they handled the reflections of the
cover to reflect that.
Okay, I read the first few flinchs, and I didn't (flinch, that
is), so I stopped. Are any particular issues really like, spooky? Or
which one is your favorite? Or even, should we start another topic
for non-morrison foaming? Or should we just start a flich topic,
subliminally willing Morrison to write for flich, just to
semi-justify it? Hell, I just want to read a good story, peeps,
wassap?

Gah! My secret identity laid bare for all to see. Strange, I was
expecting to disappear in a puff of smoke...
There haven't really been any SCARY Flinch stories yet, per se,
but generally each issue has at least one story that warrants me
buying the book. However, Bruce Timm was kind enough to show me his
upcoming piece last year (!), written by Joe Lansdale, and I think
it's going to be Flinch's finest hour. It's a perverse kind of love
story between two psychopathic murderers, and it's rendered all the
more disturbing by Bruce's magnificently cartoony drawing...

How can you disappear if you're already invisible? Okay, I'm just
silly.
Cool, I was looking at that issue just yesterday thinking hmmm. I
guess I'll go back then.

Which issue? The Timm story I mentioned is slated for the upcoming
February issue...

Oh, and I would assume that Aquaman and the Manhunter didn't have
evil counterparts because there are no such characters in the
original Crime Syndicate, and Grant chose not to invent any. Any
matter that traversed the boundary between earths would have to be
replaced by its equal, and it served the purposes of the story to
have Aquaman and MM remain in their own universe.
This is the
second time Grant has used the CSA in his work; the other being
their appearance in the "Crisis 2" storyline in Animal Man. He
clearly has a love for these characters...

And one other thing (I wish I could remember everything I wanted to
say before I hit that "submit reply" button): As unbelievably fab as
Frank (has anyone else noticed that "Frank Quitely" is a pseudonym?)
is, let's not overlook Laura Depuy's work; I'm not the biggest fan
of computer colouring, but her work here and on the Authority just
sings.She's the best in the biz, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know about Aquaman, but I'm possitive that the White Martian
Ultraman mentioned was the antimatter Martian Manhunter. Since the
evil martian manhunter is dead, i guess not everything on Earth is
reflected by Earth 2. Kind of interesting
