Besides the 3 dimensional symbol and the odd boots, the major
change to Superman's uniform in SUPERMAN RETURNS is the yellow
"S" symbol belt buckle star BRANDON ROUTH sports.  It's
inspiration came almost 50 years ago in 1957.  For a box top and
25 cents, Kellogg's Corn Flakes would sell you a red plastic belt
with an aluminum symbol buckle in full color.

<<WARNING! THIS COLUMN MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!>>

Hello to all my most kind readers, welcome to this week
installment of The Nitpicker's Column! I'd like to start by
giving a shout out to Troy Brownfield and all the people at
Shotgun Reviews (www.shotgunreviews.com), because as of this week
the column is featured in that site: thanks Troy!. So, readers at
Shotgun Reviews got a double dose this week, with last week's
column and this very same installment almost all at once.
Thursday morning, I just saw that last week's column is up on the
site, but in the home page I'm listed as "Martin Cruz".... I
don't know who that guy is... but I know Troy and his people will
correct that quickly. In case any new reader wants to read the
previous installments of the column (this is #13), check out our
corner at Jazma Online
(http://forums.jazmaonline.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=60).

This week brings a mixture of old and new stuff, since I'm always
doing some back reading, and re-reading. We also have several
nits from the fist issue of X-Men: Deadly Genesis, in which I
only found one nit, included in my third column. I recently re-
read it, in what constitutes a big goof on my part (more on this
below), but it was a good thing, like it was pre-destined to
happen, so I could find more nits.

Also, last week had several nits from The New Avengers:
Illuminati, and afterwards Newsarama had Brian Michael Bendis,
writer of that comic, answer a few questions about it, clarifying
some issues. First, on the problem with the Black Panther's name
(T'Challa instead of T'Chaka, as new BP continuity say), Brian
Michael Bendis said to Newsarama that he is going by classic
Marvel continuity (not with those words, but he mentioned
T'Challa's appearances in the early Fantastic Four, and his own
original series).

I salute that, but if you're going by classic Marvel continuity,
why are you doing retcons and having people wear costumes that
don't correspond with the time periods you set yours stories in?
However, after a little thought, if T'Challa's 35, then he could
have been king of Wakanda (and therefore Black Panther) for at
least the past 15 years, and in Marvel time, I'm betting the
Kree-Skrull War wasn't more than 10 years ago, right? If that's
so, then Bendis did nothing wrong, the only thing that's slightly
off is the fact that (according to his new series) when T'Challa
assumes the Black Panther mantle, the US Secretary of State is
"Dondi Reese"... In hindsight, I can't consider this a nit, so
I'm retracting.

Then, about Black Bolt's communication problems he said (sic):
"Black Bolt can't read or write. It's a point of embarrassment
for him and I wish you'd be sensitive enough not to bring it
up."... I love Bendis' sense of humor, he really cracks me up in
his Powers letter column (although he sometimes goes overboard
with the dirty jokes); but this wisecracking answer is obviously
a "Rats, you're right, why didn't we think of giving him a
notepad or something..."

On the topic of Dr. Strange, he just said (and I quote): "And,
yes, Strange has magic gloves."

And finally, as I said in my first column, I never point-out the
blame that falls on an editor's head, because editors are ALWAYS
wrong, and Brian summed up by saying exactly what follows: "There
is a team of editors. So many it's embarrassing to me."

Well, that's it for now, lest we have an introduction that's
longer than the actual column. Let's get on with this week's
nits!
<-------------------------------->
"THIS IS NOT THE NIT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR..."

TITLE: The Nitpicker's Column.

ISSUE: 12.

CULPRIT: MaGnUs (writer?).

NIT-TO-PICK: In my nit about Spiral jamming Magik's powers, I
wrote "(...) I don't doubt that messing with its working is
beyond Spiral's ability (...)", when it should say "WITHIN
Spiral's ability". I have to show my own mistakes, if not, I'd be
a hypocrite, wouldn't I?

NIT-O-METER: This makes the sentence say the complete opposite of
what I wanted to say, but it's understandable from the context...
so 5 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"I KNOW MY DRUGS!"

TITLE: The Mutant Misadventures Of Cloak & Dagger.

ISSUE: 08.

CULPRIT: Terry Austin (writer).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 13, when Cloak wakes up (he's being held
captive) he sees four vials and a needle, and immediately
identifies the vials as "(...) vitamins and nutrient compounds,
liquid proteins... and vials of some sort of hallucinogenic
drug!" How the hell does he identify them at sight, without even
reading a label on the vials or something (and there's no labels
visible in the art).

NIT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"JUST A LITTLE SPELLIN MISSTEAK."

TITLE: The Mutant Misadventures Of Cloak & Dagger.

ISSUE: 08.

CULPRIT: Terry Austin (writer).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 21, The Crimson Daffodil (where is he now?)
says "(...) the  Crimson Daffodil shall TRED the path of
righteousness--"... uh... Terry... the word you were looking for
was "THREAD".

NIT-O-METER: Just 2 Bazzars, not a big deal.
<-------------------------------->
"IT'S A FAMILY THING, YOU KNOW?"

TITLE: New Excalibur.

ISSUE: 06.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer).

NIT-TO-PICK: Colin Hardy, leader of the Scarlet Knights, explains
that he was part of that group of mutants, which belonged to the
Royal Air Force.  On page 4 he says about the team: "We were a
squadron, we were a family. (...) dad, (...) and mum. Two
brothers (...). Two sisters, (...) and 'little' Nell."

Ok, good, so a family of mutants that conforms a group of super
soldiers of sorts... But then he continues with this: "When the
mutator gene catalyzed in me, somehow it passed on the same
powers to us all." WTF?!?!?! Are we supposed to believe that they
were all normal humans and when Colin mutated all the family got
mutant powers? And the same exact ones? Please, that's
sooooooooooo far-fetched.

On another subject, I learned a few days ago that Chris Claremont
is recovering from some health issues caused by cardiac stress.
Chris, I already said it on the Newsarama forums, but get well
soon, even if I'm not completely digging what you write these
days, I still wish you the best.

NIT-O-METER: 8 Bazzars, this is lame.
<-------------------------------->
"WHO'S AFRAID OF A LITTLE RADIATION? NOT LEX!"

TITLE: Superman V1 (formerly Adventures Of Superman).

ISSUE: 651.

CULPRIT: Kurt Busiek & Geoff Johns (writers).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 22, we see that Luthor and his cronies have
been stockpiling kryptonite... and Lex is standing in the midst
of a veritable mountain of the green stuff, which are just laying
there in open crates, and he's not wearing any kind of radiation
shielded suit. Yeah, because after losing one hand to cancer
caused by the radiation from one tiny kryptonite rock on a ring,
he just decided he wants to stand in the middle of a huge room
filled with fist and head-sized chunks of the damn thing.

And speaking of green stuff, I was hoping Clark kept the Green
Lantern Power ring, but, did the Guardians authorize that, or did
Hal just decided to lend him his spare? BTW, isn't that wind-up
Toyman thing VERY creepy?

NIT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars, this is pretty big.
<-------------------------------->
"A NIT NITPICKER FANS CANNOT MISS!"

TITLE: New X-Men V2 (not sure, see rant below).

ISSUE: 25.

CULPRIT: Craig Kyle & Christ Yost (writers, but who knows who
writes the cover text).

NIT-TO-PICK: As I said above, I'm not sure if I should label this
book as New X-Men V2, or just New X-Men. See, this book was
originally called New X-Men: Academy X, but a few issues ago it
dropped the Academy bit of the name. Problem is, what's now X-Men
(or is that X-Men V2? Uncanny X-Men wasn't officially part of the
original x-book's title until about 1984...) was called New X-Men
a few years ago while Grant Morrison wrote it, for what reason, I
can't fathom

So, I guess I should keep calling this book in particular New X-
Men V2... I just wish Marvel, in their pursuit of the almighty
dollar, wouldn't keep re-launching and putting out new #1 issues.
This book is just the second incarnation of New Mutants V2, which
barely made it past 12 issues when it was cancelled and the whole
cast of characters and plotlines were brought-over to New X-Men:
Academy X... I would have just kept on with the New Mutants V2
numbering... of course, we need new first issues on a regular
basis, and it won't hurt to spark up the sales by having "X-Men"
in the title, is there? On that note, I should start referring to
X-Men as X-Men V2.

Now, on to the actual nit to pick... the cover to this issue says
"AN ENDING X-MEN FANS CANNOT MISS!"... but the issue is actually
part 2 of 4 of an arc (which is actually a direct continuation of
last arc, so I don't see why it's a different arc, since there's
no closure at the end of the previous one), so...

Yes, it could be referring to the last page of the issue, where
we find out that William Stryker has the Nimrod sentinel, but...
yeah, not exactly a "CANNOT MISS" ending, now is that? I was more
shocked by the death of Wallflower a few pages before the end of
the issue, to tell you the truth. Not that I really cared about
the character, mind you...

NIT-O-METER: Just 2 Bazzars, it's only some false advertising.
<-------------------------------->
"RULE WITH AN ORGANIC STEEL FIST."

TITLE: New X-Men V2.

ISSUE: 25.

CULPRIT: Paco Medina (penciler).

NIT-TO-PICK: On the second panel of page 13, Colossus reverts to
human form, with an appropriate glow effect around his human
body, signaling the change... but his left hand is still
armored... and he doesn't change by parts, or gradually; at his
mental command his body turns itself into organic metal, in a New
York minute.

NIT-O-METER: This gets 6 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"BLAXPLOITATION AND ANIMAL PRINT MIX JUST PERFECTLY!"

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men.

ISSUE: 472.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer).

NIT-TO-PICK: Yes, we get it, Storm is traveling through Africa,
back in her goddess role... but how are two TIGERS  following her
and attacking along with her (page 4 and onwards)? Secondary
mutation gave her animal control powers?

NIT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars, this is plain stupid.
<-------------------------------->
"MOM, THE CLOUDS ARE MAKING FACES AT ME!"

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men.

ISSUE: 472.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer) or Chris Bachalo (penciler).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 6, Storm uses her powers to conjure up,
well, a storm, complete with strong winds that throw an evil guy
around... but the storm clouds form a humanoid face, complete
with glowing eyes... come on, she was never able to do this....
she has weather powers, not reality warping powers!

NIT-O-METER: 6 Bazzars as well, this is useless and senseless
"special effects".
<-------------------------------->
"I PICKED THIS UP FROM SPIDEY!"

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men.

ISSUE: 472.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer) or Chris Bachalo (penciler).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 9, Sam "Cannonball" Guthrie is wearing
civilian clothes, but on page 13, mere seconds later, he's
wearing his uniform, which BTW, is god-awful, had I ever said
that before? Well, I'll say it again: CHRISES (BACHALO AND
CLAREMONT), GIVE THE POOR MAN A DECENT UNIFORM, NOT THAT REJECT
FROM THE SET OF MAD MAX THAT EVEN HAS A LETTER "C" ON HIS
CHEST!!!

NIT-O-METER: Only 3 Bazzars, I suppose he could be wearing the
uniform under his street clothes.
<-------------------------------->
"WHOZZAT?"

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men.

ISSUE: 472.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 10, Val Cooper doesn't recognize Jamie
Braddock, which I find highly unlikely, being that the O*N*E* has
files on several mutants, even Morlocks.

NIT-O-METER: Just 2 Bazzars, since there's no actual proof
anywhere that Val knows who Jamie is, and Jamie could have messed
up the records on his person.
<-------------------------------->
"FEATURING ELIZABETH TAYLOR AS PSYLOCKE!"

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men.

ISSUE: 472.

CULPRIT: Studio F's Antonio Fabela (colorist).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 14, as well as throughout the issue,
Psylocke's eyes are purple. Her eyes, while original blue, have
been brown since her mind was transferred to Kwannon/Revanche's
body, who was Asian.

NIT-O-METER: Just 2 Bazzars, this MIGHT be a result of Jamie
Braddock bringing her back to life... he might have made some
small changes.
<-------------------------------->
"LET'S JUST FORGET ABOUT YOU BEING A CRIMINAL."

TITLE: Uncanny X-Men.

ISSUE: 472.

CULPRIT: Chris Claremont (writer) and/or Tony Bedard (dialogues).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 19 Psylocke says to her brother Jamie "My
whole life, I worshipped you! My glorious big brother--handsome,
charming, brave, better than James Bond. And then you turn out to
be an overgrown child!" Uhm, Betsy... you left out that he was an
arms dealer and a slave trader, suffering from some selective
memory?

NIT-O-METER: Just 3 Bazzars, this is either Claremont forgetting
about stuff HE wrote, or Tony Bedard's fault.
<-------------------------------->
"CAN'T TOUCH THIS!"

TITLE: X-Men: The 198.

ISSUE: 04 of 05.

CULPRIT: David Hine (writer).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 15, panel 2, Leech says people don't like to
touch him because he takes away people's powers, but his powers
are not touch-based, but proximity-based... he even confirms that
in panel 4, and his power is listed like that in X-Men: The 198
Files.

NIT-O-METER: 3 Bazzars, not a big thing.
<-------------------------------->
"HELP! I'M SHRINKING!"

TITLE: X-Men: The 198.

ISSUE: 04 of 05.

CULPRIT: Jim Muniz (penciler).

NIT-TO-PICK: Page 20. Panel 3. Shadowcat's shoulder. Lockheed.
Muniz, get this straight: LOCKHEED IS NOT THE SIZE OF A HUMAN
HEAD, MUCH LESS THE SIZE OF A HUMAN FIST AS YOU DREW HIM HERE!!!!
Not only you're repeating the mistake you did last issue, you're
worsening it!

Here's a tip: before using a character in a book you're drawing,
look at the references, at least read a single comic where that
character has appeared, or check the character's Handbook entry.

NIT-O-METER: God, this only gets 10 Bazzars because I can't give
it an 11... I'm so tempted to make an exemption....
<-------------------------------->
"NO, THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE, THIS NIT DOES HAPPEN OVER AND OVER
AGAIN..."

TITLE: X-Men: Deadly Genesis.

ISSUE: 05 of 06.

CULPRIT: Trevor Hairsine (penciler).

NIT-TO-PICK: Why did I re-read this issue? Funny story. I was
waiting for issue number 5 to come out, and I stumbled upon this
issue at a friend's, among new issues from other titles, and
didn't realize it was #1. I went "Great, issue #5 is out!" and
sat down to read it. With each page that I read, I thought that
this was all a recap from the past four issues, why would they
use issue #5 of a 6 issue mini-series to recap the previous four
issues?!!?!? Then I got to the short story at the end, the one
about Petra, and smacked myself in the forehead. I hadn't felt
that stupid in a long, long time. As I said before, this was a
good thing, since I paid more attention and found more nits
included in the issue.

Let's start with a classic....on page 2, Beast is drawn almost
exactly as he was before his secondary mutation. That mutation
was never reversed, yet artist keep drawing him the way they
please; Marvel needs to enforce adherence to character designs.
And this happens again in page 8, and page 12....

NIT-O-METER: I'm not giving this a 10 because.... you know what?
Sprock it, I am. 10 Bazzars.
<-------------------------------->
"LOGAN, ARE YOU WEARING PLATFORM BOOTS?"

TITLE: X-Men: Deadly Genesis.

ISSUE: 05 of 06.

CULPRIT: Trevor Hairsine (penciler).

NIT-TO-PICK: On page 4, Nightcrawler is looking at a picture of
him, Colossus, Banshee, Wolverine, Professor Xavier and
Cyclops... and Wolverine is just as tall (if not taller) as
Cyclops. Wolverine is 5'3" tall, Cyclops is 6'3". References and
handbooks Trevor, references and handbooks....

NIT-O-METER: This gets 8 Bazzars, but only because I just had
lunch and that puts me in good mood.
<-------------------------------->
TITLE: X-Men: Deadly Genesis.

ISSUE: 05 of 06.

CULPRIT: Trevor Hairsine (penciler).

NIT-TO-PICK: *Yawn* Page 21, once more, Beast. Although this
time, we can't see his whole body, so the only thing I can point
out it's his face, which looks funky, like halfway between the
pre-secondary mutation look and the post-secondary mutation look.

NIT-O-METER: 7 Bazzars, let's give poor Trevor a rest.
<-------------------------------->
So, that's it for this week, thank you for reading. The average
this week was 5.3 Bazzars, same as last week's; as always the 10s
are offset by 2s and 3s.... Again, thank you Troy and everybody
at Shotgun Reviews, and to all the readers in the different
places this column gets published, which are now three. Wow. :>

That's it for now, until next week, I'll be on the outlook for
more nits, because (almost) nothing escapes...

THE NITPICKER!

OKAY, IT'S TIME TO SWITCH SIDES

Before Warner Oland was known as CHARLIE CHAN, he was famous for
portraying another oriental fictional character.  In fact, he
barely caught a breath before switching sides.  In 1929, he
starred in THE MYSTERIOUS DR. FU MANCHU for Paramount Pictures,
following it with a sequel that same year, THE RETURN OF DR. FU
MANCHU.  In 1931, he played the role again in DAUGHTER OF THE
DRAGON, supporting Fu's villainous offspring.  However, his most
unusual Fu Manchu appearance was a short one.  In 1930's
PARAMOUNT ON PARADE, he was once again FU in a short sketch with
Paramount film detectives WILLIAM POWELL as PHILO VANCE and CLIVE
BROOK as SHERLOCK HOLMES.  This film is noteworthy as being the
first time Holmes died on camera.

[Michael Vance, a professional writer since 1977 and has been
published in dozens of magazines including Starlog and Jack and
Jill, and as a syndicated columnist and cartoonist in over 500
newspapers. His history book, Forbidden Adventure: The History of
the American Comics Group, has been called a "benchmark in comics
history". He ghosted an internationally syndicated comic strip,
and his wrote own strip, Holiday Out, that was reprinted as a
comic book. Vance also wrote the comic books Straw Men, Angel of
Death, The Adventures of Captain Nemo, and Bloodtide. He is

Mark Allen lives in Western Oklahoma with his wife and daughter.
He has been a Baptist minister for over 15 years, and has also
written for the Oklahoma news industry. Having indulged in comics
for nearly 30 years, Mark now enjoys using the written word to
share with others what he believes is a true, and extremely
under-acknowledged, art form.]

Hank Ketcham was master of the punch line without a "set-up",
better known as the single-panel cartoon, and Dennis the Menace
was his masterpiece.

In parallel to the universal "every-man" concept of prose, Dennis
has been every boy for over fifty years. He has been so for two
very good reasons.

1) Ketcham was an astonishing artist. Every Dennis panel is
meticulously staged; everything needed to accomplish his punch
line is included, and nothing more. The balance of black with
white areas is flawless; his line work is fluid and dynamic in
execution and his mastery of human stance and expression are
unsurpassed.

2) Dennis is a 'real live boy', to quote Pinocchio. He is smaltzy
sweet and downright nasty. He is too full of energy and
curiosity, socially awkward, and blatantly honest (especially
with his parent's opinions!)

His father, mother, friends and neighbors are also real live
people. Characterization and dialog ring true because Ketcham was
an astute scholar of the human condition.

As an added bonus for those of us alive in the 1950s, Ketcham
also caught the nuances of that decade.  This reviewer was almost
overwhelmed with memories triggered by simple things like the
shape of an automobile or refrigerator, a discarded toy,
clothing, and the attitudes of that decade.

Yes, young readers, neighbors really did watch after neighborhood
kids, 5 1/2 year old boys could walk around alone with no fear of
being manhandled, and the exuberance of being alive was not
labeled "A.D.D." (Attention Deficit Disorder-ha!!).

I liked the world better in the '50s.  And comics cost a dime!

Dennis the Menace is comics at their highest level of
achievement, and this massive collection receives the highest
recommendation for readers of all ages.
