The Law Is A Ass #424: Arkham Makes An Asylum Of You And Me
Albert Einstein once said, “Glix sptzl glaah,” then he turned one and developed his first working model of the Theory of Relativity; “that lady who feeds me is Mama.” Einstein also reportedly said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” By this definition, I am insane, because I…

The Law Is A Ass # 423: Cyborg Clunks The Parole Evidence Rule
I have a mutant power. (One mutant power; don’t believe any lies Tony Isabella tells about a different power and the silly codename Shattertoy.) I have one power; I get things right for the wrong reason. And, it seems, my power is catching. Because in Cyborg vol. 2, number 1, the book’s eponymous hero showed…

The Law Is A Ass #422: Penguin Issues A License To Kill… Logic
Like I said before, well if they’re gonna make it easy for me… Seriously, the season premiere of Gotham, “Pax Penguina,” didn’t even get out of the teaser before I was thinking, “Well, that’s not right.” It didn’t get three scenes into its first act before the episode confirmed it wasn’t just not right, it…

The Law Is A Ass #421: Daredevil Ends The Art Show, Mural Less
Well, since they’re going to make it easy for me… In Daredevil vol 5 # 11, there was a new villain in town, Muse, a deranged artist who painted a mural on a wall. Given that we’re talking about a comic book, I think you can Banksy on the fact that there’s more to this…

The Law Is A Ass: Aquaman Has Problems With His Immunity System
Aquaman has seen better days. He was king of Atlantis and his subjects actually liked him. He was married to Mera and his wife actually liked him. His villains were so lame not even Jesus could make them walk. Even the Fifth Dimensional imp that appeared in his book was an ally named Quisp and…

Could S.H.I.E.L.D. Have Gotten That Warrant? Search Me.
To be honest, I no longer remember what Jane Foster did to make S.H.I.E.L.D. agents go all the way to Asgardia to look for her back in The Mighty Thor vol 2 # 9. But, to be honest, it probably no longer matters. Whatever it was that Jane had done might…

Bob Ingersoll: The Law Is A Ass #417
HE’S NOT RUNNING A LOKI CAMPAIGN It wasn’t funny the first time, okay? The recent mini-series Vote Loki had the Asgardian god running for President. The series was a political satire with Loki running on the platform that he would lie to America’s face and they would love it. Here’s what followed. Nisa Contreras, a reporter…

The Law Is A Ass #416: The Metal Men Are In Cogito
René Descartes once said, “cogito ergo sum,” which, for those of us not fluent in dead languages means, “I think, therefore I am.” René’s observation was pithy, but it leaves one question unanswered. I understand that because I think, I am; but what, exactly, am I? What am I also happens to be the question…

The Law Is A Ass #415: The Green Hornet Throws A Tamper Tantrum
I think the Green Hornet is starting to believe his own press clippings. The Green Hornet is a hero who pretends to be a villain. By day he’s Britt Reid, publisher of Chicago’s The Daily Sentinel newspaper. At night, Britt dresses up as the Green Hornet and pretends to be the secret crime boss of…

Bob Ingersoll: The Law Is A Ass #414
NEW YORK SHOULDN’T HAVE GIVEN THE X-MEN A PARKING PASS Let’s say you’ve done something really stupid. No, let’s say I’ve done something really stupid; that’s more realistic. There are many answers I could give when someone asked me, “Why did you do that?” However, I presently subscribe to the theory championed by no less…

Bob Ingersoll: The Law Is A Ass #413
MATT MURDOCK HAS SOME INTERESTING CONFLICTS Has this ever happened to you? You’re sitting there, minding your own business, reading your comic books, when something in the story makes you go, “Now, that’s not right!” Of course you have. You can probably count on the fingers of one hand, the number of times you’ve read…
