It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. But within the comics in which they appeared - and they were not one-offs! - Apollo and Midnighter were not a “breaking up and getting back together” sort of soap opera relationship, but a “If anyone messes with my husband I can and will literally rip their spine out of their body with my bare hands, also, we’ve adopted a baby” sort of relationship.Īpollo and Midnighter, along with everyone else in their Wildstorm setting, were incorporated into DC Comics canon in 2011, and while they’ve had sporadic (mostly great) appearances since then, this year is the first time they’ve actually, finally, met the characters they were meant to lightly lampoon. Without context, it’s a titter-worthy amusement. This week’s Batman/Superman Authority Special picks up where Grant Morrison and Mikel Janín left off in Superman & the Authority, with a special Batman-themed side quest for Superman’s team of misfits.Īpollo and Midnighter were originally Image Comics characters who, though their origins differed significantly, were obviously, flagrantly, reflections of Batman and Superman. Johnson has been prepping all year for the Man of Steel to take a strike team of powerful but low profile superheroes to the planet Warworld, in order to rescue a secret group of Kryptonians who survived the planet’s destruction. After nearly 10 years of existing in the same continuity, Batman and Superman have finally spent some canonical time in the same room as Midnighter and Apollo, thanks to Action Comics scribe Phillip Kennedy Johnson.
