And don't forget to take care of each other out there!
In "Lois Lane's Greatest Rival", at first I thought Lois was pretty harsh to demand that Superman spend a lot less time with Jimmy Olsen, one of his best friends, but, when Jimmy crashed their honeymoon, I lost just about all sympathy for him. That's completely disrespectful. Also, by the way, how could the Jeticopter travel through airless space?
ReplyDeleteThe biggest flaw I see in "The Amazing Hydro-Girl" is the one you mentioned. Surely, Dr. Mason should have told someone what the antidote to the hydronaut serum was, but, even if he didn't, wouldn't the astronauts who drank it also drink water at some point? If he didn't warn them that drinking water was the antidote, they'd unknowingly lose their ability to stay underwater, which seems pretty dangerous.
"Get Lost, Superman" was kind of a goofy Silver Age story, but I guess it was good to see Superman get his comeuppance for all the times he's "taught a lesson" to Lois and Lana. I thought his trouble in trying to time travel back to keep Lois and Lana out of the "Deep Freeze" was just an odd manifestation of the then-current "rule" in DC comics that the past could not be changed, no matter what.
