    Thing#6 Featured in LITG - DC Plug

    Seriously Mr Slott, how did this DC logo make it to print? Hehe.

    I have to say, I never noticed the DC logo when I read through it... it's pretty blatant though. Doheth.

    I think it's the logo for the construction company he is working for. I don't remember the name of it, or even if the name is mentioned.

    But it makes sense in my head "SOMETHING Construction".
    amirite?

    Damage Control! They've been in She-Hulk a couple times as well. They're basically a demolition/cleanup crew that picks up after superhero brawls. The logo does look a bit like the Distinguished Competition's logo though.

    The dialogue on the previous page could actually be interpreted as a dig at DC.

    "At D.C., we usually FIX structures, instead of building them from scratch..."

    It's true of Damage Control though, so I didn't pick up on it until LITG put it in this context.

    (still no joy on She-Hulk #8! what's a standing order worth if they don't hold the book for me? )

    I never even figured that out until you just spelled it out. Heheh. Thanks man.

    It's the reason I don't read DCU, or DCU events, it seems all they do is retcon years of history.

    I only got into comic books a couple of years ago and I find DCs practice of "fixing things rather than building them from scratch" incredibly daunting. Like Dan himself says, that's what is so great about the Adventures series, they've no ties.

    I'm looking forward to picking up the 2003 Batman Adventures run soon.
