Free Comics Sat\u00adur\u00adday hap\u00adpens the first Sat\u00adur\u00adday in May. Its an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty for pub\u00adlish\u00aders to intro\u00adduce new read\u00aders to their pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtions and a chance for comics stores to draw a crowd on an oth\u00ader\u00adwise weak\u00ader sales day. Either way, there were over a dozen dif\u00adfer\u00adent titles to choose from this year and of course, at least one had to have some form of com\u00adic book mind con\u00adtrol plot ele\u00adment. I looked and I found this:<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung Justice \/ Batman Super Sampler\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n

In the first half of this dou\u00adble issue, Young Jus\u00adtice<\/a> (orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly from the com\u00adic then the ani\u00admat\u00aded series on Car\u00adtoon Net\u00adwork<\/a>, con\u00adsist\u00ading of Robin, Kid Flash, Super\u00adboy, Miss Mar\u00adt\u00adian and Aqual\u00adad) is called to defeat one of the Jus\u00adtice League\u2019s old foes, the Psy\u00adcho Pirate<\/a>, who is steal\u00ading a con\u00adtain\u00ader of plu\u00adto\u00adni\u00adum. By means of the Medusa Mask, the Psy\u00adcho Pirate can manip\u00adu\u00adlate the emo\u00adtions of any\u00adone around him, and that includes inno\u00adcent bystanders sud\u00adden\u00adly filled with hatred of Young Jus\u00adtice. When that does\u00adn\u2019t stop them, the Psy\u00adcho Pirate ampli\u00adfies their own emo\u00adtions of inad\u00ade\u00adqua\u00adcy and despair and the team becomes emo\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly entranced, but Kid Flash\u2019s accel\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded metab\u00ado\u00adlism allows him to push through the emo\u00adtion\u00adal bondage. As for the Psy\u00adcho Pirate, Kid Flash dis\u00adarms him with a lit\u00adtle \u201cmud in his eyes\u201d and removes the mask, stop\u00adping its effects. But that isnt the end. The Psy\u00adcho Pirate is in the pay of anoth\u00ader vil\u00adlain, the Atom\u00adic Skull<\/a> who want\u00aded the plu\u00adto\u00adni\u00adum and is more capa\u00adble of fight\u00ading off Young Jus\u00adtice to the point of escap\u00ading almost<\/em> with the goods.<\/p>\n

Side note: the back of this issue adver\u00adtis\u00ades Warn\u00ader Broth\u00aders\u2019 Sat\u00adur\u00adday Morn\u00ading Stars!<\/a> DVD line, includ\u00ading Swat Kats, Chal\u00adlenge of the Gob\u00adots, Thun\u00addarr the Bar\u00adbar\u00adian, Mr T and The Her\u00adcu\u00adloids. I men\u00adtion this because the final three list\u00aded all have at least one episode with hyp\u00adno\u00adsis \/ mind con\u00adtrol episode, and I would sus\u00adpect the oth\u00ader two have at least one, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
