Dwyer was Byrne's stepson, and his assistant briefly. He also drew Byrne's Torch of Liberty for Dark Horse.

I think it's kinda cute that they're blasthing away with these Mega-Huge Flamethrowers of Ultimate Doom, and the best that's happening is the logo letters are getting jostled and maybe chipped a bit.

That's because they took sharpshooting class at Stormtrooper U, KM.

Yeah, not the greatest military academy in the universe, but they do have are highly-regarded in the areas of hovercraft repair and droid programming.

So what ever happened to Butterface -- I mean, "Demolitia"? She looks like she'd be a perfect fit with Didio's current GTA-lite DC Universe.

According to the "DC Database Project": "Demolitia used her teleporter to beam herself away. She has not been seen since."

YAYYYYYYY!

Nice "The Jerk" reference.

Sadly, that Bloodsport comic might have been my very first actual comic book.

I only remember that Superman made a very corny joke involving if he had a dime for every time something happened, which had a punchline about the stock market, and then not getting it, because at nine or so, I didn't fully understand the stock market.

Hey, comparisons to GTA are unfair. The guys behind GTA at least have SOME self-awareness.
