"Pills for breakfast. I am so science fictional." Doktor Sleepless, Doktor Sleepless #07.
Okay, so I lost the roll I was on; but I'm still trying to catch up, with this issue being about books released on the week of 06/11, except for a straggler. Last column's DT! was solved by the Guvnor Paul C, welcome back to active duty! It was indeed the fact that Cannonball calls Lucas Bishop "Nathan", which is Cable's name.
The Dissector's Picks Of The Week are the following: Best Book Of The Week went to Titans V2; I like Judd Winick's writing, and even though Joe Benitez' art is weird sometimes, it's not bad; all in all, this is a fun read. On the other hand, GeNext #1 was horrible, with a horrible plot and script by Chris Claremont (with glaring dissections) and bland, unappealingly cartoon-like art by Patrick Scherberger. Off with you to the dissections, now!
<-------------------------------->
"COVER GIRL."
TITLE: Birds Of Prey V2 (DC).
ISSUE: 116.
CULPRIT: Mike Carlin (editor) and Elisabeth V. Gehrlein (assistant editor).
DISSECTION: Here's the straggler. I never noticed this until I checked Dominik B.'s review of the issue... the issue book is written by Sean McKeever, but the cover reads Gail Simone... who left the book some time again. Badge for you, Dom, one more and you make Lt. Commander!
DISSECT-O-METER: 10 Bazzars. The freaking cover!
<-------------------------------->
"GOLD DISSECTION."
TITLE: Booster Gold V2 (DC).
ISSUE: 10.
CULPRIT: Hi-Fi (colorist).
DISSECTION: Come on, this one's easy:
DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"SORRY, DALE."
TITLE: The Dissector (Studio Robota).
ISSUE: 78.
CULPRIT: MaGnUs (writer).
DISSECTION: Wolfie correctly spotted that I had credited Dale Eaglesham as the penciller for Justice Society Of America V3 #16, when it was Fernando Pasarin. Welcome to the HDSC, Wolfie!
DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"DOKTOH SLEEPLESS."
TITLE: Doktor Sleepless (Avatar).
ISSUE: 07.
CULPRIT: Warren Ellis (writer) and/or unknown (not credited) letterer.
DISSECTION: Doktor Sleepless' alter ego's name is spelled as Johh, instead of John.
DISSECT-O-METER: 2 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"GOOD GOING CHRIS, YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR MARVEL CHARACTERS!"
TITLE: GeNext (Marvel).
ISSUE: 02 of 05.
CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer); and possibly Ed Dukeshire (letterer), but I doubt it.
DISSECTION: Sigh, where to start? Oh, I know... CLAREMONT!!!!!! BEAST IS HENRY MCCOY, NOT PYM!!!!!!
DISSECT-O-METER: 10 Bazzars. Also, Nocturne is called "Josephene" instead of "Josephine", and the Colossus in this book is supposed to be the original Colossus' grandson; but since the school has only been open for 30 years, the timeline is a bit flaky (though I'm not counting this one as a nit).
<-------------------------------->
"LITTLE WING."
TITLE: GeNext (Marvel).
ISSUE: 02 of 05.
CULPRIT: Takeshi Miyazawa (artist, back up story).
DISSECTION: In the back up story with the original X-Men (a reprint from an X-Men Unlimited issue from some time ago), Angel's wings are drawn impossibly small.
DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"EL HASASINO!"
TITLE: Green Arrow/Black Canary (DC).
ISSUE: 09.
CULPRIT: Judd Winick (writer).
DISSECTION: One of the League Of Assassins dudes; I don't care what his name is, pretends to speak Italian or Spanish and says "Mio amigo", which is not right for either language.
DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"SEÑOR ROBOT!"
TITLE: The Last Defenders (Marvel).
ISSUE: 04 of 06.
CULPRIT: Joe Casey (writer).
DISSECTION: The assassination performed on the Spanish language by Junta's robot continues.
DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"BLURRED INK."
TITLE: New Exiles (Marvel).
ISSUE: 07.
CULPRIT: Tom Orzechowski (letter) and/or Jordan D. White (assistant editor) & Mark Paniccia (editor).
DISSECTION: Inker Scott Hanna is not credited for his work.
DISSECT-O-METER: 8 Bazzars. Also... MORPH!!!
<-------------------------------->
"RUN, MAMMOTH, RUN!"
TITLE: Salvation Run (DC).
ISSUE: 07 of 07
CULPRIT: John Kalisz & Tom Chu (colorists).
DISSECTION: God, what a lousy ending, for a lousy story. Again, Mammoth's hair is incorrectly colored.
DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars. Also, Cheetah's missing her spots.
<-------------------------------->
"LUKE GETS PROMOTED, AND CHEWIE NEVER EVEN GOT A MEDAL!"
TITLE: Star Wars: Rebellion (Dark Horse).
ISSUE: 14.
CULPRIT: Jeremy Barlow (writer).
DISSECTION: Able calls Luke Skywalker "General", which he doesn't get to be until years later.
DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
Well, this week's average Bazzars is 6.6, in fourteen dissections. Moments Of The Week? No, Moment. Dick Grayson shows his naughty side, after Starfire tells him she thinks of him when she's alone:
Smooth playa!That's it for now, until next week, I'll be on the outlook for more dissections, because (almost) nothing escapes...
THE DISSECTOR!

Comments originally posted on ICS.net, right after the column was posted:
Dominik B.: The Spot the nit: There are several things wrong with it.
- Blue Beetle's not dead.
-If Blue Beetle's costume is torn on the shoulder, wouldn't he bleed?
- Skeets has no wings.
- Superman should be elsewhere due to continuity?
MaGnUs: Beetle is not dead there, because of time travel; you can tear your costume without bleeding, Skeet's current design is that one, and Superman is there because it's an alternate timeline. Also, the dissection is credited to the colorist, pay attention Dom.
Dominik B.: Superman's S-Shield, in that case.
And I'd wager that if you get such a shred in your costume, you'd at least have a scratch.
Martín "MaGnUs" Pérez: No, not Superman's shield is correct. And you don't ncessary have to get a scratch, you can just get your uniform torn and that's it.
