Funny / Strange Adventures (2020)

• Issue #4:
  • While getting dressed after being woken up by Rannian guards and knocking them out with his T-Spheres, Terrific sings a local song he heard earlier.
    Mr. Terrific: This is a %@%@ed-up planet. But that song is fire.
  • When he confronts Sardath, he responds by slapping Terrific in the face. Without hesitation, Terrific slaps back.
    Mr. Terrific: You hit me. I hit you. What the %@%@ you think "fair play" means?
  • Adam punching Superman and breaking his hand because of it.
• Issue #6 has some hilarious Mood Whiplash when it cuts from four pages of flashbacks of Adam and Alanna fighting in the war to her and Mr. Terrific looking at the Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture.
  Alanna: You're right. It is a very large spoon.
• Issue #8 sees the Pykkt invading Earth, with Mister Terrific capturing a Pykkt survivor for interrogation. It's already been established that the Pykkt don't speak English and the language barrier is quite steep, so who else should join Mr. T during the interrogation? Why, Batman, of course!
  • Of note, Batman's grammar in Pykkt is atrocious. Mr. Terrific's is not.
• Issue #12 has a flashback on Rann after the war where Alanna complains about the air quality on Earth, followed by a cut to the present where she is smoking a cigarette.
• Out-of-universe: after the series was nominated for three Eisner awards^note Best Limited Series, Best Penciller/Inker Team, and Best Lettering, artist Mitch Gerads tweeted a pledge to post the reference photo he used for a page in issue #1 if it won any (claiming it "involves me and shiny Lycra"). It did not, prompting co-artist Doc Shaner the next day to reply "oh thank god", only for Gerads to reply posting the reference photo anyway.
