According to the World Health Organization’s working definition, long Covid usually occurs three months after symptomatic Covid-19 begins and lasts for at least two months. Long Covid is a condition that arises after acute infection and often includes shortness of breath, fatigue, and “brain fog” but can also involve a wide range of debilitating problems in the heart, brain, lungs, gut, and other organs. A big question, however, looms over the survivors: What about long Covid? Thanks to vaccines, boosters, and increasingly available treatments, most people who get infected today won’t end up in the hospital or die. More than 28 million new cases have been reported since Omicron emerged in the US just two months ago, and the variant now drives 99.9 percent of cases, as of January 22, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So, of course, he spends the mission - to a world where an evil Batman took over the League of Shadows and rules with an iron fist - not so subtly trying to figure out how to establish that he could totally, totally beat Batman in a fight.Even as the number of new Covid-19 cases in the US is dropping, hundreds of thousands of Americans are still testing positive every day. The classic Midnighter move is to open a fight scene by smugly telling his opponent “I already know how this ends,” which is just insufferable enough to make you love him. ![]() Midnighter’s infamous claim to fame is that he has a supercomputer in his brain that allows him to figure out the winning moves in any combat.

We’ll tell you. ![]() But within the comics in which they appeared - and they were not one-offs! - Apollo and Midnighter were not a “breaking up and getting back together” sort of soap opera relationship, but a “If anyone messes with my husband I can and will literally rip their spine out of their body with my bare hands, also, we’ve adopted a baby” sort of relationship.Īpollo and Midnighter, along with everyone else in their Wildstorm setting, were incorporated into DC Comics canon in 2011, and while they’ve had sporadic (mostly great) appearances since then, this year is the first time they’ve actually, finally, met the characters they were meant to lightly lampoon. ![]() Without context, it’s a titter-worthy amusement. This week’s Batman/Superman Authority Special picks up where Grant Morrison and Mikel Janín left off in Superman & the Authority, with a special Batman-themed side quest for Superman’s team of misfits.Īpollo and Midnighter were originally Image Comics characters who, though their origins differed significantly, were obviously, flagrantly, reflections of Batman and Superman.
