Wow, what a fun issue of Tiny Titans!  This comic is always great, with happy little characters for kids to read, while containing all sorts of fun references to DC comic history for adults to enjoy.  

                         (* CRASH! BOOM! POP! *)

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Hello there!

                                POWERDAD
Who are you?

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
I’m Anti-PowerDad!
                            
                                POWERDAD
Oh, I get it; you’re like me but come from a parallel Earth!
    
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
What are you talking about?

                                POWERDAD
You see, it’s just like in this issue of Tiny Titans!  You see they meet up with opposite versions of themselves…  
                                
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Oh, I love that sort of opposite thing!  “Me Bizarro Number One!”  I especially love it how “Goodbye!” means…
                            
                                POWERDAD
No, no, wait…
                                
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
…”Hello”…
                            
                                POWERDAD
No, not like that!
                                
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
What?

                                POWERDAD
Not, that bizarro stuff.  Not that kind of opposite.  I mean, reversed, like what a mirror does to your image.
                                
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Oh, you mean they all have goatees!
                            
                                POWERDAD
No, no, no goatees!  They’re superhero school kids, and they meet up with their counterparts from other Earths.  Such as Aqualad meets up with…Aquaboy!   

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Oh, I get it!  Like Kid Flash meets up with…
                            
                                POWERDAD
…Flash Kid!
                                
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
And Batman’s counterpart is…Man-bat!

                                POWERDAD
Well, actually, it’s Owlman.

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
What? How’s an owl the opposite of a bat?  I mean, maybe a dove is the opposite of a bat.

                                POWERDAD
Well…um…I don’t know. It’s just what it is. It’s just precedence.

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Oh hey!  I just thought of a great joke!

                                POWERDAD
But I want to tell you more about…

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Oh, come on!  It’s a great joke!  KNOCK, KNOCK!!!

                                POWERDAD
(*sigh*) Alright, WHO’S THERE?
                                
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
WHO!
                            
                                POWERDAD
WHO WHO?

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
HEY, YOU GOT OWLMAN IN THERE?!  Hahahaha!!!

                                POWERDAD
(*sigh*) Can I get back to…
                                
                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Hey, I have another!  PETE AND REPEAT ARE SITTING ON…

                                POWERDAD
Stop!  No more!  

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Okay, okay.

                                POWERDAD
That joke is just tragic!  It actually reminds me of that saying “Comedy is tragedy plus time.”  I think Carol Burnett said that.

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
What?! What are you talking about?! Comedy is putting together a bunch of funny bits that make you laugh.  What kind of crazy insane world is this?  

                                POWERDAD
Well…ummm….I guess you just have to think about it what she…oh, never mind!  I will say that the real tragedy here is that at this time there are only a total of 65 pulls for this Tiny Titans comic on the iFanboy site.

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
“iFanboy”? Don’t you mean “meFanboy”?

                                POWERDAD
Is this more bizarro world references?  I told you…

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Okay, okay!!

                                POWERDAD
Tiny Titans is just such a fun comic!  If more comic readers gave it half a chance I’m certain they’d love it too!  

The downside of this issue, perhaps its biggest drawback is it’s just too short.  I really wanted more, but honestly that’s okay.

But its strength, as with all the Tiny Titan comics is it’s just so darn happy!  

Comic shops are filled with serious, adult comics with characters who fight at the drop of a hat, and it’s just so nice to have one which emphasizes fun and a level of understanding which makes me warm inside.

In fact, it makes me feel inspired!

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Wait, Tiny Titans?! Issue 35?

                                POWERDAD
Yes, you should pick up a copy, especially if you have a younger child in your life to share the experience with.  Writers/Artists Franco and Baltazar really have a good time…

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Oh, sure!  It IS a good one.  I already read it.

                                POWERDAD
You already read it?  

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Yup, I picked it up Tuesday from my local comic shop.

                                POWERDAD
Wait, comics come out on Tuesdays on your Earth? How is that the reverse of Wednesdays here?

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
I don’t know. On my world, comics are scheduled to deliver on Wednesdays, but the distributor is always early! They always arrive in the best condition. The shipper never forgets or loses a box. The publishers are always on time, especially with big events…

                                POWERDAD
Okay, okay, it IS reversed!

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Yes, I agree, it’s a very enjoyable issue. I really liked the surprise cameo appearance of…

                                POWERDAD
Wait, I’m getting confused, if you’re my opposite, shouldn’t you HATE the issue?

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Oh come on, fun is fun! What do you take me for here? A monster?

                                POWERDAD
Also, what’s up with the name “Anti-Powerdad”?  I mean, shouldn’t it be “PowerMom”, or “FeebleDad”, or something like that?

                             ANTI-POWERDAD
Hey, don’t look at me.  I don’t write this stuff.

                                POWERDAD
Oh.
