Okay, I can't remember which thread we were talking about this on (though I have a good idea), so here's a new one. I finally read these two stories the other night and they're even weirder than I expected. Totally, completely, nutty.

So, uh, celebrities meet spandex...did we have a thread about real-life impostions into the Comixverse?

Do comics' own big-fishes-in-a-small-pond count? Ellis's guest appearance in Powers was funnier than it had a right to be and Morrison inserting himself into Animal Man is still very touching.

Mark Waid made Jack Kirby God!

I like both of those issues, especially the Animal Man (the only AM issue I've ever read). The comics industry soapboxing in Powers was lame, but then again I could see him actually doing that. His writerly cowardice at gunpoint was awesome though.

Most of Ellis' speech-y quotes are taken from Come In Alone, his angry/good book/webthing on where comics were at the turn of the century.

From Comic Book Resources:

In a move that will surely inspire horror, an upcoming episode of "Justice League Unlimited" will feature
musical numbers with the immortal witch Circe (voiced by Rachel York) and a very special song ... by the
Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy). "Since 1991, when we first started making Batman, we always joked
about making 'Batman: The Musical' because Kevin Conroy, who voices Batman, is a fine singer," said
voice director Andrea Romano. "In this episode, Batman is forced to do something humiliating in order
for a spell to be reversed. And what he is forced to do is sing a song, and he sings it wonderfully. You
just don't get to do many musical numbers in Justice League, so that's really, really fun." This cavalcade
of hilarity will also feature original SNL cast member Lorraine Newman as both Justice and Medusa.
Okay.

Do they mention which song?

"Mammy", surely? Or "Papa Was A Rolling Stone".

The best bit's when his secretary reminds him about GOODY RICKELS and Morgan Edge goes into wideeyed shock ("Don't remind me! I'm CHILLED to the BONE!") and instantly assigns him his latest deathtrap for Jimmy and Clark news assignment
