Is this your first time reading DC Beach Blanket Bad Guys Summer Special
Yep! Pretty fun collection of stories.
What DC Villain is your favorite?
Oof, that’s a tough question. Like “which of your children is your favorite” tough. Of the characters in this story, I think I’d go with either Joker or Luthor.
Which story was your favorite?
Another toughie. There really wasn’t a bad story in this. Props to the Joker/Bizarro story for parodying BVS without doing the same “Martha” jokes everyone and Deadpool did a thousand times. The story with Luthor and the Supes fan was neat. The Mr Freeze story was great to show the humanity underneath, as was the Giganta story.
Nope! I read this when it came out. I like anthologies like this.
Overall, I’ll be boring and say the Joker. But he’s been WAY overused.
It’s hard to choose, but the Black Manta take sticks out for me. Forgive me for this display of blood lust, but I think he should have killed the lady at the end, though. Seems more Manta-ly to me.
That is a tough one. I like them all for different reasons. Lex is fun to watch. Joker is chilling and funny at the same time. Granny Goodness is creepy, yet so good at her job. Black Manta owns every scene he’s in. The Condiment King, is well, the Condiment King . I think DC has the best Villains.
The Deathstroke one is still with me! That kid was cold-blooded. I couldn’t believe what I was reading - great story!
Here’s a few of my favorite moments:
