YOU GUYS. There's a Tintin spoof in Teen Titans Spotlight #11!
It's Spotlight on Brotherhood of Evil. Warp teleports himself, Brain, Mallah, Phobia out of a shoot-out in France and accidentally get transported to an alternate universe. Getting hit by one of the assassin's lasers had scrambled Warp's brain and he now he can't remember how to get back. Before they can work the problem, they immediately get caught in a kerfuffle between some weird mutant people and a redhead riding a wolf. They manage to dispatch the mutant people in short order.
It's Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus!
Apparently, in this world, things went pear-shaped after Explorers On The Moon.
The moon landing year given is the same one as when the story first started being published in serialised form, a full 14 years before the real moon landing happened. I find it interesting that Herge very deliberately left out any fantastical or impossibly sci-fi elements, making what was a futuristic story for its time feel incredibly grounded in reality, but this comic takes an international intrigue plot and goes entirely bananas.
SNOWY WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
GENERAL RASTAPOPuOULOS!
Tintin & The Mad Max Fury Road!
The Brotherhood decide to help out just to survive and steal the tech they need to unscramble Warp's powers from the Ark to get home. With Brain and Mallah leading the show, Tin and the freedom fighters take the citadel and bitchslap Rastapopoulos. Predictably, he tries to pull a Lex Luthor on Tin.
Apparently villains hate listening to other villains monologuing.
They're reunited with Professor Calculus. Aww.
Mallah's reaction to self-sacrificing heroic bullshit is so funny. And relatable tbh. 😂
When everything's done and dusted it turns out the whole thing was orchestrated by Dr. Mist with the help of French intelligence as a social experiment or something. Neat twist, but meh.
Incidentally I pity everyone who didn't grow up reading the Tintin comics. It's truly a timeless, all-ages series with no pandering or infantilization. Explorers is my favourite book after Red Rackham's Treasure. It's art and writing calibre is a stark contrast with this pulpy '80s DC comic. Though ngl, I missed seeing Thompson and Thomson.

And last but not least, some comics I picked up last Friday. Really happy to find the Donna Troy one as the Teen Titans Spotlight ones seem harder to find in my neck of the woods. Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, I don't know.

Blenders from Hell
Teen Titans Spotlight #20
Not fun.
Cyborg investigates a strange blender, discovers an invasion...
Odd, dreary story. Why are there no people in the shopping mall?
On Sale Date: December 1, 1987.
2/10

6882. Since Starfire and Raven didn’t spend their childhoods on Earth, they tend to be clueless to certain pop culture references.

So tired of comics where Dick feels like he has to reassure, apologize, and reconcile with Bruce. I want more comics where Bruce takes actual responsibility for his actions and apologizes clearly, sincerely, and extensively to Dick. And without expecting Dick to automatically forgive him just because he apologized or expressed affection.
