"Good grief. Why can't I have a normal dog cover like everyone else?"

So many dogs to choose from.

And I hated everything about this issue.

[CaptainEurope]

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Why indeed?

I definitely hated it too. The cover made me hopeful, IIRC. I hated this entire arc and I remember people defending it, which is their right, of course, but the whole thing seemed pointless and mean-spirited to me.

[SquirrelMan]

[Jack Dracula]

The goodest doggo.

I didn't read this, but I've heard about...isn't this where spoilers:

Wonder Dog kills Marvin and cripples Wendy?

end of spoilers

At this time I think DC was still leaning heavily in the grim tone. We were getting Identity Crisis with Sue Dibny spoilers:

getting sexually assaulted

end of spoilers. Cry For Justice where Speedyspoilers:

has his arm chopped off and his little daughter killed

end of spoilers. And then the follow up where drug addicted Speedy spoilers:

beats up some guys holding a dead cat

end of spoilers!

It was getting close to unintentional self parody.

Yup. It's hard to believe this grimdark schlockfest was written by the same guy who wrote all-ages fun like Gravity and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane.

[Nschornhorst]

Yeah, and they did all they could to erase Impulse (my fave) and other 'fun' or 'lighthearted' characters during that era too. Or at least it seemed so.
