The Hulk meets The Guardian & The Newsboy Legion

 I had some pretty crazy neighbors during my 20 years living in Brooklyn, but it was nothing like this.  Let's hope they can find some community building exercises to work on together.

The Thing and The Guardian

I am glad that the Guardian has found somewhat of a second life as a supporting character in the Superman books. Sometimes it can be tough to update golden age characters for a modern audience, but I think having him as the head of security for the Cadmus Project was a good decision. Grant Morrison introduced yet another Guardian as part of his Seven Soldiers event, but that version has not been seen since, so I am unsure of what his status currently is. It was a pleasant surprise to see the Guardian show up in an episode of the animated Young Justice series, as he was one of those DCU characters that never got an appearance on Justice League Unlimited. Hopefully he will return and we can see him in cartoon action once again.

Batman and The Newsboy Legion

This was a request, and it brought me back to reading those great DC 100-Pagers with all of the wild reprints. I thought the adventures of The Guardian and the Newsboy Legion were pretty cool, mostly due to the early Jack Kirby artwork. I liked that the Guardian was secretly a beat cop and I really dug his gold shield. In fact, I would love to see a period crossover between him and Captain America. The two WWII shielded Kirby characters together, that would be great!
