The New Titans #75 (April 1991)



Holy fuck! So many Wildebeests! The cover is right! I’m shaking my stick like crazy and I can’t shake it at all of them! Although I do have a boner now.

Dick’s statement is not a statement of sheer disbelief on this cover. He means it logically. Wildebeest simply cannot be Joseph Wilson, aka Jericho. Unless all of those times Jericho said he was banging chicks after painting nudes of them, he was really being an evil mastermind obsessed with this whole Wildebeest Pyramid Scheme. Also he was just pretending to be mute, I guess. That seems, at least a little bit, politically incorrect. I mean, I don’t go around faking a limp so I can get the Cerebral Palsy discount at the Mustang Ranch.

I think Jericho went nuts when that asshat barber shaved off his sideburns some issues ago. Now he just looks like a grinning Rob Liefeld with a horrible perm. I’ll scan that picture in next because I have some other words to say about it!

Speakin of words to say about things, I’m really hoping Jericho chooses next issue to do the whole bad guy explanatory monologue thing because I really can’t fucking figure out how or why this is happening. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! I do remember actually being upset about this revelation way back when because Jericho was the only likeable member of the Titans. So why not fuck that up, right Wolfman?! Prick. I blame the New Editor on the book, Mister Jonathan “I’m So Fucking Funny I Crack Myself Up Writing Letter Column Replies” Peterson.


Shouldn’t a father always know his own son’s name?!

Hey Tony S. Daniel and James Bonny?! See how Douchéstork reacts to finding out Wildebeest is his son here? See how Nightwing reacts? Nightwing calls him Jericho because that’s his teammate and Dick is a consummate professional who knows to use codenames at all times. See how Jericho’s loving father knows and uses Jericho’s actual name?! That’s a father who cares about his son! Your Douchéstork has not once used Joseph’s real name! Because he doesn’t know it, right?! He’s an absentee father who never really gave a fuck about Rose and Joe and Grant, right? He just wants to seem like he cares about something when he’s really just a psychopath who cares only about his reputation and money.

Also, doesn’t Joseph look a little bit like a badly permed Rob Liefeld?
