A splash page from Superman #688

So what do you guys think of this scene? My view of it was that Mitch was hitting on ~~Mon-El~~ Jon, what with the "strapping fellow" comment and him telling Jon not to be a stranger. The awkward use of ... I forget the word, but it's like "positive adjectives" would be foreshadowing if it were a guy and a girl. James Robinson's been pretty LGBT friendly from what I've seen in Starman, so this wouldn't surprise me.

This book is pretty neat. Is anyone else here picking it up? I LOVE Renato Guedes' art so much, and the writing is picking up.

That panel where he tastes the.. what is that, a sammich? pizza? is that what a panini's supposed to look like?

The panel where he tastes the food and his hand is all curly curled is a great bit of observational drawing.

I didn't read it as flirting, but now you've mentioned it, I can see that. And I am seeing THINGS in the sentence about engines pulling in at stations.

	What on earth is a "sammich"? Is that different from a "sandwich"? :) And no, panini should NOT look like it's been cut from a pizza, they are rectangular in shape, not sliced from a circle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is different only in its spelling. I've been trying to get over my derision of the word sammich because it's so comfortable to say. So I use it at opportunities such as this! (Reply to this) (Parent)
