"Jimmy Olsen's Super-Pet", in which he adopts a super fast-growing dinosaur, who apparently also reproduces asexually, is just wrong on so many levels.

Lois's first line from her first story:
"That hussy-- kissing Clark in public! Hasn't she any manners!"

Jeepers, 'boot! That's Lois's first line in a Superman story, not her first line in one of her stories!
Though I suppose "After all, I do get some stories on my own!" might qualify.

But note that the line 'boot quoted is in response to what I believe to be the historic first instance of the super-speech impediment, when Clark says, "W-What do you say to a-- er-- date tonight, Lois?"

There's a difference between a story Lois appears in and a Lois story, just as there's a difference between a thread Reboot posts in and one of Reboot's threads. So quit trying to claim my thread, 'boot!
Anyway, I am all finished with the with the Superman Family Showcase! One of the reasons that I think it rocks so much is that you've got all the grooviness of the Silver Age Superman's world, but the focus is on Jimmy rather than Superman. This gives the stories a lot more dramatic potential, because Jimmy's far more human and fallible than Superman.
Next up, finish Metamorpho! Then Teen Titans comes out in a week and a half, and I've still got to buy the Jonah Hex volume (which I'm really looking forward to)!

Bah! I haven't been motivated to read the Metamorpho volume at all, until tonight!
Just read Metamorpho #10, featuring the debut of Urania Blackwell, not to mention Stingaree, that villain of the DC Ages!

I can't wait to read the debuts of more massively important DC villains like Stingaree!

Jillikers! The more I read, the more the Metamorpho series reminds me of an old 60s cartoon by Hanna-Barbara or something.
You got to love the fact that they asked reader to write in to determine whether or not Element Girl lived.

One of the greatest bits of dialogue in the history of comics:
Urania Blackwell: You'd better not, Metamorpho, or I'll tear her limb from dyed hair!
Sapphire Stagg: Dyed Hair? All of you came out of a bottle!
