At last, the world has discovered Mr. Terrific.
Thanks to James Gunn and actor Edi Gathegi, Mr. Terrific has emerged as the scene-stealer of the big blockbuster Superman.
A character who was at best a C-lister has now joined the A-ranks of DC’s pantheon – at least for the moment.
But what a moment it is.

He’s a champion of the underdog.
A warrior who wields his mighty powers to help those in need.
A model of compassion and decency.
Of course, MAGA despises Superman.
Really?
This is the latest round in the culture wars?
Man, it must be exhausting finding things to get outraged about.

Sure, the much anticipated “Hush” sequel “Would You Be Damn Quiet” – er, I may have that title wrong – dropped this week with 87 variant covers.

With artist Todd Nauck delivering a blast of glorious double-spread pages featuring hundreds of characters, the issue is a sort of heroic spin on “This is Your Life.” Courtney Whitmore, better known as Stargirl, looks back on her life and her adventures with the first and greatest team of super-heroes.
The climax of the tale finds Courtney delivering her high school valedictorian speech and looking forward to her future.
Hardly the time-trippy cosmic battle royale fans are used to.
But if that’s all you’re seeing, you’re missing the point.

In my continuing battle to celebrate the most ridiculous comic books ever published, I present to you my greatest find:
“The Story of the Year!” the cover proclaims.
Hell, let’s make it the century and call it a day.
“Batman Becomes Bat-Baby!”
It’s a premise so absurd, you just know you need to know more:
