The Dissector #122.

DISCLAIMER (angry creators, please read)

[[WARNING! THIS COLUMN MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!]]

"(...) We're scientists, my dear. Time travel at the very least should be considered one of the baseline perks to the profession. Now come on. Who wants to rescue the future by raiding the past?" Dr. Henry P. McCoy, Uncanny X-Men #512.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! This is The Dissector for the last week of June, 06/24. I know I'm a little late, but I'm still in time to not fall behind, hopefully. The Dissector's Picks Of The Week are as follow: Best Book Of The Week was Dark Reign: The Hood #2... a surprise, but it made me warm up to the man behind the hood. Worst Book Of The Week was Justice League Of America #34... I'm really not happy with Dwayne McDuffie's run, and his shoehorning of his Dakotaverse characters.

There was no DT! last week, so we'll go straight to the dissections.
<-------------------------------->
"THAT NASTY GOBLIN SERUM!"

TITLE: The Amazing Spider-Man V1 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 598.

CULPRIT: Jeromy Cox (colorist).

DISSECTION: Jeromy! Long time no seeing! Since column #71, in May, 2008, to be exact. You went more than a year without slipping... but you had to be one of those who insist in coloring Norman Osborn's eyes green instead of blue.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars. Also, Jeromy, why did you color Peter Parker's hair blonde and his eyes blue in a panel?
<-------------------------------->
"COSMIC DISSECTION."

TITLE: Avengers/Invaders (Marvel).

ISSUE: 12 of 12.

CULPRIT: Jim Krueger (scripter).

DISSECTION: Check this one out:


DISSECT-O-METER: 5 Bazzars. There's a few other errors, like "the Original Black Panther" again, and the Winter Soldier having an American-style star on his prosthetic arm, instead of the Soviet one.
<-------------------------------->
"IT'S RAININ' BEREDOS!"

TITLE: Dark Avengers (Marvel).

ISSUE: 06.

CULPRIT: Rain Beredo (colorist).

DISSECTION: Well, Beredo is one more colorist who doesn't know Norman Osborn's eyes should be blue; he colors them brown.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"SAI WHAT YOU WANT."

TITLE: Dark Reign: Elektra (Marvel).

ISSUE: 04 of 05.

CULPRIT: Clay Mann (penciller).

DISSECTION: Again, she grasps her sai in an incorrect fashion.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"BLACK LANTERN FORESHADOWING."

TITLE: Green Lantern V4 (DC).

ISSUE: 42.

CULPRIT: Philip Tan & Eddy Barrows (pencillers) and Nei Ruffino & Rod Reis (colorists).

DISSECTION: Hal Jordan's emblem (after he doesn't have the blue ring) is drawn and colored incorrectly a total of seven times.

DISSECT-O-METER: 8 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"IN THE NAME OF..."

TITLE: Madame Xanadu (DC/Vertigo).

ISSUE: 12.

CULPRIT: Matt Wagner (writer).

DISSECTION: Again, the Lord's Prayer in Latin is incorrect.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars. There's also some incorrect Spanish, of course.
<-------------------------------->
"YOU'RE OUT OF COSTUME."

TITLE: Ms. Marvel V2 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 40.

CULPRIT: Brian Reed (writer).

DISSECTION: The current Ms. Marvel, Moonstone, reforms her costume out of torn street clothes, and the narration box says that the moonstone, no longer physical but an energy within her, is the source of her power and her costume. No, it's not. She's long lost the second Moonstone, which allowed her to manipulate matter.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars. Also, can someone explain me why Danielle Cage is white in this comic?
<-------------------------------->
"AY, BRIAN."

TITLE: Teen Titans V3 (DC).

ISSUE: 72.

CULPRIT: Bryan Q. Miller (writer).

DISSECTION: Bryan, the Spanish expression is "ay", not "aye".

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"SHAVING IS NOT A CONCERN FOR THE MASTER OF MYSTICAL ARTS."

TITLE: Thor V1 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 602.

CULPRIT: Marko Djurdjevic (penciller).

DISSECTION: Doctor Strange's beard is awfully thick and bushy, for a guy who usually keeps it so trimmed.

DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"IN COMMUNIST RUSSIA, ACCENTS MAKE YOU SMALLER."

TITLE: Thunderbolts (Marvel).

ISSUE: 133.

CULPRIT: Comicraft's Albert Deschesne (letterer).

DISSECTION: Two accented letters in Russian are smaller than the rest of the letters in the word.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars each.
<-------------------------------->
"BULLSHIT FOREVER."

TITLE: X-Men Forever V2 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 02.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer).

DISSECTION: I'll let these two panels speak for themselves:


What??!?!? WHAT??!?!?!?!?!?!!?! I can accept that maybe, just maybe, today's Jean Grey, with her enhanced telekinetic control (almost molecular, if not atomic), and/or her Phoenix force remnants, can convert an attack into electricity to ground it into the mansion's electric systems... and it would be very, very hard to believe... but this Jean Grey, from this time? No, sorry. Chris, please, don't "throw fruit" at us, as we say in my country, quit peppering an otherwise readable script with this kind of bullshit.

DISSECT-O-METER: 9 Bazzars. Also, artist Tom Grummet draws Wolverine's glove metal slots for the claws on his skeleton, and leaves hair (head and facial) on his clean bones, which has been stripped of everything else with some kind of energy. Hair? Really?
<-------------------------------->
"ÑORRO."

TITLE: Zorro (Dynamite).

ISSUE: 14.

CULPRIT: Simon Bowland (letterer).

DISSECTION: I'm pleasantly surprised, no bullshit Spanish, and only seven "Ñ"s smaller than the rest of the letters!

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars each.
<-------------------------------->
Whaddaya know? An average of an even 7.0 Bazzars in thirty three dissections. Nice! Now, The Moments of The Week. First up, the JSA seniors, professional cockblockers:


Bastards! Next, Daken will never be worthy of the name Wolverine, but not for the reasons you think...


... but rather because HE DRINKS MARTINIS! THAT'S SO UN-WOLVIE, IT HURTS TO WATCH! Next, I don't know if Harley Quinn is really necessary in the DCU...


... but hers is the best ass in DC currently! Then, something I foresaw:


Poor Harry! And Spidey's not happy about the way Norman treats his eldest son:


Ouch! That's gotta hurt! Last, something that Guido didn't see coming:


I kinda saw it coming... That's it for now, until next time, I'll be on the outlook for more dissections, because (almost) nothing escapes...

THE DISSECTOR!

The Dissector #121.

DISCLAIMER (angry creators, please read)

[[WARNING! THIS COLUMN MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!]]

"My law partner told me the only job with a higher mortality rate than Gotham D.A. is a "red shirt" on "Star Trek"." Kate Spencer, Batman: Streets Of Gotham #1.

Here we are again, with the column for comics released on 06/17! No one cracked the DT! last time; the problem was that Nightwing's gloves weren't right; the blue portion of his costume continues down his wrist and middle and index finger.

Let's go with The Dissector's Picks Of The Week, now. Best Book Of The Week was Batman: Streets Of Gotham #1... solid, and while I liked Batman & Robin, this was more down to earth, and I enjoyed the Manhunter backup feature too. Worst Book Of The Week? Well, Superman/Batman #61 came out last week, and... "Penguello"? "The Ventrilomaker"? Please...
<-------------------------------->
"PHANTOM EYES."

TITLE: Action Comics (DC).

ISSUE: Annual #12.

CULPRIT: Mazi (colorist).

DISSECTION: Chris Kent's (I refuse to call him Lor-Zod) eyes are colored blue/green instead of brown.

DISSECT-O-METER: 5 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"SPAIDER-MUN."

TITLE: The Amazing Spider-Man Family (Marvel).

ISSUE: 07.

CULPRIT: Fred Hembeck (writer, "The Adventures Of Peter Parker...").

DISSECTION: It's "sudoku", not "soduku". Peter Parker wouldn't make that mistake, even before he was Spider-Man, right?

DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars. Also, "everybody", not "everbody".
<-------------------------------->
"I HOPE YOU GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME."

TITLE: Cable V2 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 15.

CULPRIT: Ariel Olivetti (colorist).

DISSECTION: Hope's eyes are colored blue instead of green.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"AXIS BANNER EXCHANGE."

TITLE: Captain America V1 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 600.

CULPRIT: Al Avison (penciller, "Red Skull's Deadly Revenge", first published in Captain America Comics #16, July, 1942).

DISSECTION: Inexplicably, the Red Skull wears a Japanese imperial flag on his chest; which eventually is swapped with a more appropriate swastika.

DISSECT-O-METER: 10 Bazzars. Also, in one of the modern stories, CNN reports that the anniversary of Captain America's death is a day of national "mouring".
<-------------------------------->
"THESE IS THE VOYAGES OF THE DSS DISSECTOR..."

TITLE: The Dissector (Studio Robota).

ISSUE: 120.

CULPRIT: MaGnUs (writer).

DISSECTION: And I did it again! And J. Corbin spotted it again! I say "there is (...) other errors" instead of "there are..." I need to pay more attention... Badge for J. Corbin.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"FLECHA VERDE."

TITLE: Green Arrow/Black Canary (DC).

ISSUE: 21.

CULPRIT: Andrew Kreisberg (writer).

DISSECTION: There's a character thinking in Spanish, and Kreisberg just grabbed his English sentences and threw them into the Google translator. For example, while in English the verb "to be" can mean a condition or a location; in Spanish ("ser") it only means a condition; so "Is she crazy?" can't be translated as "¿Es ella loca?"; you translate it as "¿Está ella loca?", or even better, "¿Está loca?

Andrew, there's millions of Spanish speakers in the US, or you can even look me up on Facebook and I will do it FOR FREE.

DISSECT-O-METER: 9 Bazzars, and there are (look J. Corbin, look!) a few other errors, not to mentioned accented letters smaller than the rest.
<-------------------------------->
"STOP WANKING, IT'S BAD FOR YOUR SPELLING."

TITLE: M.I.L.F. Magnet (Moonstone)

ISSUE: 01.

CULPRIT: Tony Lee (writer).

DISSECTION: Tony... the word is "masturbator" not "masterbator". Just as an FYI...

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"STAR SPANGLED PALETTE SWAP."

TITLE: Mighty Avengers (Marvel).

ISSUE: 26.

CULPRIT: Marko Djurdjevic (cover colorist).

DISSECTION: U.S.Agent's uniform is colored incorrectly; his gloves are black instead of red, and the star on his chest is yellow instead of black.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars each. Also, USAgent is not the right spelling.
<-------------------------------->
"DEMON'S HEAD, HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT."

TITLE: Outsiders V2 (DC).

ISSUE: 19.

CULPRIT: Peter J. Tomasi (writer).

DISSECTION: Ra's al Ghul's name is written with a tilde (~) over the "u", but it should be written even without accents, or with a tilde on the "u" and the first "a", or without any tildes.

DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"BLEACH IT, KID."

TITLE: Savage She-Hulk (Marvel).

ISSUE: 03 of 04.

CULPRIT: Marte Gracia (colorist).

DISSECTION: Captain "Marvel Boy" Marvel (aka Noh Varr) has white hair, yet Gracia colors it dark grey; even when the white portions of his costume remain white; so it can't be a lighting issue.

DISSECT-O-METER: 5 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"THE STRENGTH OF A WHALE!"

TITLE: Vigilante V3 (DC).

ISSUE: 07.

CULPRIT: Marv Wolfman (writer) and/or Rick Leonardi (penciller).

DISSECTION: Since when does Tobias Whale have superstrength? Yes, he's a Kingpin rip-off, so he's "fat" with muscle; but not enough to punch through a car's roof, or cause gigantic dents on the vehicle's hood.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"HE'S BALD, HE CAN'T HAVE TELEKINESIS!"

TITLE: X-Men: Legacy (Marvel).

ISSUE: 225.

CULPRIT: Mike Carey (writer).

DISSECTION: Exodus is overly surprised when Charles Xavier appears to have telekinetic powers, saying that "Xavier has no telekinetic powers!". Yes, Xavier doesn't have any "teke" (as Claremont likes to say) now, but he did have low level telekinetic powers; and his genetic make-up includes that kind of ability, which Cassandra Nova exhibited.

DISSECT-O-METER: 4 Bazzars. Snakebyte brought to my attention the fact that Xavier calls exodus Bennet du "Parris", instead of "Paris", twice. I don't know if I would have noticed on my own, I like to think I would have, but Snake told me before I read the comic. Badge for him.
<-------------------------------->
"CAJUN STRESS."

TITLE: X-Men Origins: Gambit (Marvel).

ISSUE: One-shot.

CULPRIT: Rob Steen (letterer).

DISSECTION: Readable issue that does nothing but tell what we more or less knew about Gambit, but of course, with lots of Cajun dialogue, has accented letters (and other letters like the "ç") are smaller than the rest of the letters.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars each, for a total of nine dissections.
<-------------------------------->
"COPULATON BREEDS POPULATON."

TITLE: Young Liars (DC/Vertigo).

ISSUE: 16.

CULPRIT: David Lapham (writer).

DISSECTION: Freedom, Arizona, "Populaton": 897.

DISSECT-O-METER: 1 Bazzar.
<-------------------------------->
Average for this week was 6.1 Bazzars on thirty-four dissections; pretty standard. just two Moments Of The Week, and they're both about taunting Norman! First up, just because you paint, is it art?


I love it... SNAP! Then, What If... Spider-Man was a midget cowboy?


I can't believe it's taken us about 40 years to make fun of Norman's hair! That's it for now, until next time, I'll be on the outlook for more dissections, because (almost) nothing escapes...

THE DISSECTOR!

The Dissector #120.

DISCLAIMER (angry creators, please read)

[[WARNING! THIS COLUMN MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!]]

"(...) Would it kill them to wear the same uniforms?" Cyclops, about the All-New, All-Different X-Men, Uncanny X-Men: First Class Giant-Size Special #1.

Alright, here we are with the column for comics released on 06/10. The Dissector's Picks For The Week are as follow: Best Book Of The Week is X-Factor V3 #44. Peter David delivers a solid book month after month. Worst Book Of The Week was Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape #2... horrible art, and a wannabe "The Prisoner" plot. Off you go!
<-------------------------------->
"CAN YOU READ THOSE FROM HERE?"

TITLE: Action Comics (DC).

ISSUE: 878.

CULPRIT: Diego Olmos (artist).

DISSECTION: General Lane and his staff member have GINORMOUS name tags on their uniforms; readable at several meters.

DISSECT-O-METER: 5 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"SUMMER UNIFORM, AGAIN?"

TITLE: The Amazing Spider-Man V1 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 597.

CULPRIT: Marco Chechetto (artist).

DISSECTION: Wolverine (Daken) is again wearing his uniform with short sleeves, then with long sleeves, etc.

DISSECT-O-METER: 8 Bazzars. As usual, Norman's eyes are colored incorrectly.
<-------------------------------->
"CONTROL GROUND TO TOM MAJOR."

TITLE: Anna Mercury 2 (Avatar).

ISSUE: 01 of 05.

CULPRIT: Warren Ellis (writer).

DISSECTION: Again, Ellis has Mercury get in touch with her control by saying "Mercury, Launchpad."; when it should be the other way around. Communication protocols require the initiating party to announce who she's addressing first, then identify herself.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"THE NEW BATMAN DISSECTION."

TITLE: Batman (DC).

ISSUE: 687.

CULPRIT: Ed Benes (penciller) and/or Ian Hannin & JD Smith (colorists).

DISSECTION: See if you can spot this one.


DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"ME JAMIE, YOU JANE."

TITLE: Booster Gold V2 (DC).

ISSUE: 21.

CULPRIT: Matthew Sturges (writer).

DISSECTION: Jamie Reyes says that "you have to pay henchman", instead of "henchmen".

DISSECT-O-METER: 2 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"SONT DES MOTS QUI VONT TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE, TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE."

TITLE: The Dissector (Studio Robota).

ISSUE: 119.

CULPRIT: MaGnUs (writer).

DISSECTION: Last column I wrote "Also, can we remember that John Stewart's chest emblem is MOT the same as Hal's?"; instead of "NOT." Thanks to Emerre for noticing this; he gets a badge.

DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars. Also, I just noticed I wrote "quarts" instead of "quartz" in another column.
<-------------------------------->
"DOCTRO WHO."

TITLE: Doctor Who: Autopia (IDW).

ISSUE: One-shot.

CULPRIT: John Ostrander (writer).

DISSECTION: Donna uses the word "eaisly" instead of "easily".

DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"HEY, YOUR ARIAN-NES IS FAILING!"

TITLE: Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape (DC).

ISSUE: 01 of 06.

CULPRIT: The Hories (colorist).

DISSECTION: Captain Nazi's hair turns, inexplicably, black for a panel, then goes back to his regular blond.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"THIS BOOK IS CLICHÉ."

TITLE: GeNeXt United (Marvel).

ISSUE: 02 of 05.

CULPRIT: Ed Dukeshire (letterer).

DISSECTION: Cliché, with a smaller "é". I'm tired of this particular error; I mean, even not speaking any language other than English, can't you see how wrong this looks?!?!? I mean, you're a letterer, your entire job revolves about lettering... or are you just someone slapping words on pictures?

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"MISS AMERICA-CCENT."

TITLE: Miss America 70th Anniversary Special (Marvel)

ISSUE: One-shot.

CULPRIT: Dave Lanphear (letterer).

DISSECTION: Two more accented letters smaller than the rest of the word.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars each.
<-------------------------------->
"WHO NEEDS PUNCTUATION?"

TITLE: Sherlock Holmes (Dynamite).

ISSUE: 02.

CULPRIT: Leah Moore & John Reppion (writers).

DISSECTION: The sentence "Sherlock Holmes stands accused of murder gentlemen." could use a comma before the word "gentlemen".

DISSECT-O-METER: 1 Bazzar.
<-------------------------------->
"I GOT DRESSED IN A HURRY?"

TITLE: The Flash: Rebirth (DC).

ISSUE: 02 of 05.

CULPRIT: Ethan Van Sciver (artist).

DISSECTION: Kid Flash's costume, particularly his boots, is incorrect. Thanks to Kal for letting me know, he gets a badge for this even if I would have noticed it on my own.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"¡OH NO, UN MONSTRUO!"

TITLE: Titans V2 (DC).

ISSUE: 14.

CULPRIT: Eric Wallace (writer).

DISSECTION: There's a couple of other errors (Beast Boy's eyes colored blue, an accented letter smaller than the rest of the word); but there's one writing gaffe I can't help but mention: Cyborg walks around his own neighborhood; and someone (in the "appropriately" clichéd Spanish) calls him a demon and is scared of him. Did Wallace miss the fact that Cyborg is a member of the second or third better known hero team in the DC Universe? A team that has PUBLICLY saved the world a few times, and helped save it several dozen times?

Yes, we get it, Cyborg is weird; he's shunned because of his appearance... but not to that extent. Maybe someone doesn't look him in the eye when talking to him, or something like that... but fear, like this? No.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"BLASTED GOGGLES!"

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men (Marvel).

ISSUE: 511.

CULPRIT: Greg Land & Terry Dodson (pencillers).

DISSECTION: Again, Cyclops sleeping with any kind of eyewear?

DISSECT-O-METER: 8 Bazzars. What's worse, colorist Justin Ponsor decides to color Cyclops' eyes red, when he's not wearing his glasses... his eyes are open and he's not blasting? What?
<-------------------------------->
"IN POST-COMMUNIST RUSSIA..."

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men: First Class Giant Size (Marvel).

ISSUE: 01.

CULPRIT: Jeff Parker (writer).

DISSECTION: So, a mid or late nineties Colossus is plowing the Xavier estate to grow crops because "How are we to eat if we do not farm?" Again, what?

DISSECT-O-METER: 10 Bazzars. Also, there's crap German, and one pencilling dissection.
<-------------------------------->
"PICARD FOREVER."

TITLE: X-Men Forever V2 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 01.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer).

DISSECTION: Well, this was pretty good; except for "Remy Picard"... pretty good as long as you keep it within the context of the early nineties, I guess. There were only a few dissections, none too major. One of them was that the X-Men go to "Avilla" in Spain; when the place is actually named "Ávila".

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
So, we had twenty-eight dissections, with an average of 6.1 Bazzars. The usual, I guess. Now, two Moments Of The Week, the first one because of its lameness:


SOPHIE von Doom? SOPHIE?!?!?! SOPHIE?!?!?!?!? Okay... Claremont... okay... Next up, something cool:


Having fun as a secret agent in parallel universes! That's it for now, until next time, I'll be on the outlook for more dissections, because (almost) nothing escapes...

THE DISSECTOR!

The Dissector #119.

DISCLAIMER (angry creators, please read)

[[WARNING! THIS COLUMN MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!]]

"(...) My years with Mr. Tesla have taught me that there's one underlying scientific principle to ALL existence. (...) EVERYTHING explodes." Atomic Robo, as he cranks up the dial of a lightning gun to ten, Atomic Robo And The Shadow From Beyond Time #2.

Greetings, and welcome to the column covering the dissections in comics released on 06/03. Straight into the fray; last week's DT! was not solved, I'm very disappointed. Namor, in the panel I show, is wearing his trademark green speedos... with white lines on the side; when he's never had those before.

The Dissector's Picks Of The Week are as follow: Best Book Of The Week is a tie between The Amazing Spider-Man #596 and Atomic Robo And The Shadow Beyond Time #2; I couldn't decide between the two so I just went with both. Worst Book Of The Week was Ultimatum #4; not that bad, but weak, and this whole event has been badly paced. Now, dissections!
<-------------------------------->
"ONE IS HIS SUMMER COSTUME."

TITLE: The Amazing Spider-Man V1 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 596.

CULPRIT: Paulo Siqueira (penciller).

DISSECTION: Wolverine (Daken) wears a costume with short sleeves; but on the first page, he's wearing a full sleeved costume; then in the rest of the issue, short sleeves.

DISSECT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"DIE KINDER."

TITLE: The Boys (Dynamite).

ISSUE: 31.

CULPRIT: Simon Bowland (letterer).

DISSECTION: Ah, Simon... you don't learn, do you? The ü in "Führer" should be the same size as the rest of the letters.

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"THE DISECTOR."

TITLE: The Dissector (Studio Robota).

ISSUE: 108.

CULPRIT: MaGnUs (writer).

DISSECTION: I just noticed I wrote "powerles" in that column instead of "powerless".

DISSECT-O-METER: 1 Bazzar.
<-------------------------------->
"MASK OF UNCERTAINTY."

TITLE: Exiles V2 (Marvel).

ISSUE: 03.

CULPRIT: Salva Espín (artist).

DISSECTION: Can someone explain to me how the Black Panther is wearing his mask after escaping his cell, when he didn't have it before?

DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"BLACK LANTERN, WHITE GLOVES."

TITLE: Final Crisis Aftermath: Run (DC).

ISSUE: 02 of 06.

CULPRIT: Freddie Williams II (artist).

DISSECTION: And the fuck up continues... John Stewart's costume is wrong; with him wearing white gloves and the wrong chest emblem.

DISSECT-O-METER: 8 Bazzars for the gloves. Also, Firestorm is colored as if he's Ronnie Raymond, not Jason Rusch; and his costume is also Ronnie's. Seriously, are the people making this comic not aware of the fact that Jason is Firestorm these days?
<-------------------------------->
"MIGHTY DISBANDMENT."

TITLE: Mighty Avengers (Marvel).

ISSUE: 25.

CULPRIT: Dan Slott (writer).

DISSECTION: The "previously" text says that after Secret Invasion the New Avengers disbanded... they didn't they went underground.

DISSECT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"PUNISH ME, WILL YA JOE?"

TITLE: Punisher: Naked Kill (Marvel).

ISSUE: One-shot.

CULPRIT: VC's Joe Caramagna (letterer).

DISSECTION: Come on Joe, I expect more of you! "Pokémon" has an accented "e", but it has to be the same size as the rest of the letters!

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"HEY, JUNIOR."

TITLE: Star Trek: Crew (IDW).

ISSUE: 04 of 05.

CULPRIT: John Byrne (writer).

DISSECTION: There are several dissections, small ones; the one I chose to write up is the fact that Pike is mentioned as a "junior officer", when his rank is Lt. Commander. Junior officers are the ones holding a rank of lieutenant, or lower.

DISSECT-O-METER: 5 Bazzars. One a good note; this book is enjoyable, and Byrne has Number One read Vulcan philosophy, foreshadowing her emotionless, computer-like behavior in The Cage.
<-------------------------------->
"WHITE LANTERN, BLACK GLOVES."

TITLE: Superman: World Of New Krypton (DC).

ISSUE: 04 of 12.

CULPRIT: Brad Anderson (colorist) and Pete Woods (artist).

DISSECTION: Why is John Stewart Caucasian?

DISSECT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars. Also, can we remember that John Stewart's chest emblem is MOT the same as Hal's?
<-------------------------------->
"CO-LOM-BI-A! CO-LOM-BI-A! CO-LOM-BI-A!"

TITLE: Universal War One: Revelations (Marvel/Soleil).

ISSUE: 03 of 03.

CULPRIT: Denis Bajram (writer), Paul Benjamin (writer, adaptation), uncredited translator.

DISSECTION: The South American country is called "Colombia", not "Columbia".

DISSECT-O-METER: 9 Bazzars. Also, "Del Gado" is not a last name, "Delgado" is.
<-------------------------------->
This week's column had an average of 6.2 Bazzars in seventeen dissections... oh, and I didn't feel like having a DT!, couldn't find a dissection that fit that mold this time around. That out the way, we have a slew of Moments Of The Week. First up; The Punisher can kill you with a sock!


Badass! Next, more Punisher. How do you escape a tall building in lockdown before all its inhabitants are gassed?


Easy! You build a ladder out of dead bodies! Then, Atomic Robo and I think alike:


Yes, we're both nitpicking bastards! Next, behave around Ares...


Or he'll pimp slap ya! Still on the Dark Avengers:


Norman Osborn, Academy Award nominee? And last, watch out...


Don't wear too many piercings near turbo magnets... That's it for now, until next time, I'll be on the outlook for more dissections, because (almost) nothing escapes...

THE DISSECTOR!
