DISCLAIMER (angry creators, please read)
[[WARNING! THIS COLUMN MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!]]
"J'onn J'onzz was my friend. (...) We'll all miss him. And pray for a resurrection." Superman, someone finally acknowledges that superheroes never truly die, Final Crisis #2.
Here we go again! Last column's DT! was guessed by Snakebyte, and he correctly said that Black Canary shouldn't be talking while using her canary cry. By the way, this column is for books released on 06/25, no older book this time. The Dissector's Picks Of The Week are as follow: Best Book Of The Week goes to Avengers: The Initiative #14, with a good Secret Invasion tie-in; while the Worst Book Of The Week was Number Of The Beast #6; a potentially good story that has just been drawn out for too long. Three or four issues would have been enough for this...
<-------------------------------->
"I'M A DISSECTION."
TITLE: The Dissector (Studio Robota).
ISSUE: 79.
CULPRIT: MaGnUs (writer).
DISSECTION: Right after posting column #80, I that in #79 realized I labeled Tom Orzechowski a "letter", not a "letterer".
DISSECT-O-METER: 1 Bazzar.
<-------------------------------->
"THEY'RE SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER..."
TITLE: The Dissector (Studio Robota).
ISSUE: 80.
CULPRIT: MaGnUs (writer).
DISSECTION: An anonymous poster over at ICS.net noticed I called Beast Boy "Cyborg".
DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"YOU DARE COLOR DOOM INCORRECTLY!"
TITLE: Fantastic Four (Marvel).
ISSUE: 558.
CULPRIT: Paul Mounts (colorist).
DISSECTION: Doctor Doom's eyes are colored green on the cover, when they should be brown.
DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"IO NO PARLO ITALIANO."
TITLE: Huntress: Year One (DC).
ISSUE: 04 of 06.
CULPRIT: Ivory Madison (writer).
DISSECTION: Most the Italian language in the book is incorrect; at least three counts. The worst one is a sign in a Venetian church, with a poorly constructed sentence.
DISSECT-O-METER: 8 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"AVENGE THIS DISSECTION!"
TITLE: New Avengers (Marvel).
ISSUE: 42.
CULPRIT: Justin Ponsor (colorist).
DISSECTION: What can you tell me about this one?
DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars. Should be easy.
<-------------------------------->
"REMEMBER WHEN WE THOUGHT VICTOR VON DOOM COULD BE HIS DAD?"
TITLE: Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers (Marvel).
ISSUE: 01 of 03.
CULPRIT: Christina Strain (colorist).
DISSECTION: Victor Mancha's eyes are colored green, when they should be brown.
DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars. Also, he says "vamanos"; the Spanish word for "let's go" is "vamonos".
<-------------------------------->
"WHAT KID?"
TITLE: Superman V1 (DC).
ISSUE: 677.
CULPRIT: James Robinson (writer).
DISSECTION: Superman says that he has "Lois (...) and a dog" and that "gives him a complete life"... yeah, what about his disappeared foster son, or even his parents?
DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"NO, I THINK IT'S THE ZIGGURAT OF UR."
TITLE: Teen Titans V3 (DC).
ISSUE: 60.
CULPRIT: Eddy Barrows (penciller).
DISSECTION: The Titans are transported by the Clock King to a place that seems Greco-Roman, and Robin claims it's the Parthenon. Problem is, it looks nothing like the Parthenon or any of the buildings in the Acropolis; a cylindrical, roofless structure that looks more like the Coliseum. Blue Beetle asks if they're in Rome; but well, that could be a mistake by Jaime... Robin wouldn't make that kind of mistake.
DISSECT-O-METER: 9 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
So, we get an average of 6.3 Bazzars in a total of eleven dissections... not bad, not bad. Moments Of The Week! First up, you won't like Banner when he is... hungry?
Sometimes a dog's bite is worse than his bark. Then, Hercules gets used and discarded:
"Zounds"?!??! Well, that's one month completed... That's it for now, until next week, I'll be on the outlook for more dissections, because (almost) nothing escapes...
THE DISSECTOR!

Victor's eyes have always been green. People just seem to assume they're brown.
And I'm positive about this because I picked the original color for them back when he was introduced into the series.

CeeCee (can I call you that?), thanks for stopping by; I'll bow to you on this (hell, you're such a good colorist, and such a beautiful woman, that I'd bow to you anyway!).
I should have checked a comic book first; but the only sources I had on hand were wikis, both Marvel Universe and Marvel Database, and they both had him at brown eyes... also, Jo Chen colors Victor's eyes brown on covers. My bad, I've edited those wiki pages following your authoritative information. Digging up my Marvel Handbook to see what it says there... yup, "hazel", but I'll still be retracting in my next column.
Again, thanks for stopping by, and keep up the good work, I'm a fan of your stuff, you bring life to these characters with your colorings, and Runaways is one of my favorite comics of the last few years.
Comments originally posted on ICS.net, right after the column was posted:
Sullivan E.: Blue eyes? WTF. Still, this is Justin Ponsor we're talking about. Maybe only the skrull has green eyes? >_>
On the Hulk picture, don't you think it's funny that the gun has somehow become a semi-auto when all earlier images had it shown as a revolver.
"First up, you won't like Banner when he is... hungry?"
I thought you said you hadn't seen The Incredible Hulk...
Nick S.: You mean most OF the Italian language.
Guest: Sorry Magnus, didn't check this in time. The guest up there who spotted the error with Beast Boy last week was me, DrSilent. But you don't have to "credit me" or anything. :)
Here's another one for next week: in Trinity 10, page 18, Nightwing and Robin are not wearing their masks one panel, and have them on the next for no good reason.
Martín "MaGnUs" Pérez: DrSilent, I do credit people who spot mistakes in my work, of coruse. And I haven't read Trinity yet, but thanks.
Snake: You're right, my mistake. Sully: Didn't notice that about the gun, but thanks, and no, I havent seen the movie yet. It's a play on the old TV show phrase.
