Oh, we all know what it's like. Your ex shows up, and he needs your help, and even though all the bitterness and pain is still there, so is the sense of obligation from shared experience, so you help him out.
Then you find yourself shot to death by Kyrgystani mobsters and lying face up in a ball bin at a children's restaurant play area.
Well, that's just what happened to poor Joey, the Human Flame's original, um, "partner in crime".
Still, the old magic was there between them! They composed as their final joint endeavor this delightful haiku of defiance entitled, "You think I'm scared of you?"
"I killed the friggin'
Martian Manhunter!" "Screw you,
Mike! I'm outta here!"
Martian Manhunter!" "Screw you,
Mike! I'm outta here!"
Of course, this is from the first issue of the already-legendary Human Flame miniseries "Run", so you've all probably seen it already.
What haiku can you compose to celebrate the return of the Human Flame, mourn the loss of Joey, or ponder the ignominy of finding yourself shot to death by Kyrgystani mobsters and lying face up in a ball bin at a children's restaurant play area?
