Which character most enjoyed his appearance in Super Friends #18?

Amazo, the android who really likes his job destroying things and fighting superheroes...






...or self-satisfied Superman?








********************

All of those images are drawn by the great J. Bone, and in most cases they're just small parts of single panels. Bone really fills the panels with so many fun little details that scanning the background players' expressions is enormously rewarding.

If Super Friends #18, which Sholly Fisch scripted, doesn't win the Eisner for best single issue next year, there is no justice in the universe. Because, you see, not only does the comic have smug, smirking Superman and happy dancing Amazo on, like, half it's pages, it also has two other things going for it:

1) Sad Batman:



2.) The Bizarro/Bizarro Flash race:
(Their expressions in that second panel just kill me).

Amazo has better fashion instincts than I do

I never thought I'd say that of a guy who spends most days dressed only in a pair of green pants with darker green horizontal stripes, matching wristbands, and what looks like a bathing cap that's a few sizes too small for his head, but check out this image, yoinked from one of the activity pages of this week's Super Friends.

If someone—say, Professor Ivo—were to say to me, "Hey Caleb, pick out a pair of extremely tight pants in whatever color you like, and make sure they match anything." Well, I'd probably pick out a pair of black pants, because black goes with everything, right?

Well, Amazo went with brown pants and you've gotta admit, they go pretty well with the rest of his outfit. And when the rest of an outfit consists of Batman's cowl, Superman's cape, Aquaman's shirt, a glove each from Flash and Batman, and a boot each from Wonder Woman and Superman, well, that's no mean feat.

Looking good Amazo! You should really consider wearing outfits like this more often.
