For what it was worth.

And all i wanna do, is boogaloo!"


-- Ringo Starr, "I'm The Greatest," written by John Lennon, from the album RINGO (Capitol, 1973)

Totally Worth It
I may be alone in thinking this, but anyone who did not take some joy out of what I feel is the best DC/Marvel crossover ever needs to stop reading comic books, or at least superhero books.
