The Essential Mr. Bones, Part 3

This is the third part of my "Essential Mr. Bones" series. For the previous parts, click here.

This is from Infinity, Inc. #32. It's written by Roy and Dann Thomas, and illustrated by Todd McFarlane.








In #34, Bones appeared in anti-smoking PSA.


#35 takes place during the Legends crossover, where Darkseid had Glorious Godfrey turn the public against the superheroes.


Later, Brainwave is injured.


In #36...











The guy getting high on all the emotion turns out to be the Psycho-Pirate; this leads in to his appearance in a later storyline.

Infinity, Inc.#38 is illustrated by Martin King; McFarlane's last issue was #37. The cover is by Vince Argondezzi.




Rick Tyler, aka Hourman, is wracked with guilt after thinking he killed the supervillain the Wizard. He tells Beth he thinks that "maybe, down deep, I'm just as rotten as Bones and his buddies."


Meanwhile, Lyta is worried because Hector isn't answering her calls.






After the remaining members of Infinity, Inc. arrive, the judge calls upon Penny Dreadful. Bones tells her she looks pale, but she says she's okay.






Later, the subject of Carcharo gets brought up; Jade mentions how he had his sharks attack a cruise ship and how he kidnapped Wildcat. Wildcat comes to Helix's defense, much to Skyman's chagrin, saying that they had nothing to do with Carcharo's attack. The judge demands to know what the relationship between Carcharo and Helix was.




Beth Chapel is called upon next.




Wildcat's parents arrive, with her mother confirming that she and her sister were patients of Dr. Love. Wildcat's father says that she is "living proof of what the others of the Helix experiment might have become-- if they lived in a good home--a loving home." Wildcat tells the judges that Helix deserves a second chance, because they never really got a first one. 

The judges say they agree, but that they "can't, in all good conscience, turn these flagrant lawbreakers loose on the streets."




Next time: Mister Bones joins Infinity, Inc!

Aw,Lyta Trevor, if only you knew what future a cruel uncaring DC multiverse had in store for you....

So Bones eventually gave up crime, but not smoking.

Smoking is more addictive than crime! THAN CRIME!!!

I like how the Helix is being treated with a Black and Gray morality instead of being inherently evil. It's a theme that's hard to find in the current DCU.

This loyalty makes me wonder what split them up long enough for Mr. Bones to become director of the DEO.

Without giving away what happens, that question will be answered in a later post.

Good, good! I lost track of him after the shark attack and never saw the result. Thanks for this, it's filling one of the gaps in my reading.

Man, old school Todd McFarlane art is weird to look at. (It's like having one of those "Yes, Chuck Austen worked on Miracleman" moments.)

...is it just me, or does Skyman come off as a massive prick here?

Everyone else is saying, "While he has committed crimes in his past, Bones and his pals aren't so much evil as they are-"

Skyman: "HANG that sonnva bitch!"

Keep in mind that he comes from the 1940s (he was a member of the Seven Soldiers of Victory when they got lost in time) so he's a little old-fashioned.

Also, he's not the only one who doesn't like Bones; Jade and Obsidian don't like him either.

Yeah, but WHY don't they like him? I mean, it's not like Mr. Bones is a particularly endearing character or anything, but their dislike of him seems disproportionate to what he's actually DONE. I mean, what has he done? He kidnapped Fury - which she herself forgave him for - went on a bank robbery/shopping spree through town, and teamed up with Carcharo. It's not like him and Helix are vicious criminal masterminds or anything - they're basically a superpowered kid gang. Bones even helped out as an ambulance driver (because he was going stir-crazy, admittedly) and alerted them to the villain outside their gates. Sylvester's acting like he's freakin' Dr. Doom or something.

Mr. Bones started off rhyming, inexplicably, all the time. Is it fair? No. But it's a fact: it you rhyme for no reason, everyone thinks it's a treason.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; and if you stick to a metre, well, you couldn't be cheaper.

No offense, man, but that's a LOUSY rhyme. I could do better, any ol' time. I venture to say I'd do better than that - I'd pull a brand new one right out of my hat.

Let me impart a secret to you - I can rhyme like mad, and I'm white, too.

My brain is still stuck on the fact that Mr. Bones appears to be starkers in the hospital bed. Full frontal male nudity!

That would've made Dr. Manhattan less . . . well, just less.
