YAY! Thank you! I am forever in your debt, 'cause that had been driving me nuts.
It's a bit odd that they actually mocked up a cover rather than use a real comic, however! Especially since they refer to real comics in the dialogue occasionally. But at least now we don't have to wonder.
I also love the implication that he's just been to Earth, so he had to hit the comic shop and pick up a big pile of all the issues he'd missed. *g*
I really adore how they've worked John's comic geek-ism into the show, because he's so totally the antithesis of the stereotypical comics nerd, and I love seeing a character who's obviously a comics fan and also a cool action hero. How rare is THAT? (And it's realistic, too! I live in an army base town, and lots of the guys from the base are regular patrons of our local comics store. Apparently comics, especially the superhero and military-action ones, are very popular with soldiers.)
