Month: November 2005

  • Best Title Ever?

    I defy you to find a better title than “Heroes with Dirty Hands!” Sadly, it did not, in fact, have to do with Superman and/or Batman developing OCD. Wednesdays and Thursdays are going to remain random, btw.

  • Tuesday, Take Two.

    You know what? That first post isn’t so funny. I’m going to post a second. Ah Young Love! Adventure Comics #343 tells us the tale of how Pete Ross and Clark Kent first met. Sniff. It’s so nice to see two boys find each other in this crazy world.

  • Menage Tuesday!

    The world looks mighty good to me, ’cause Tootsie Rolls are all I see! Whatever it is I think I see, Becomes a Tootsie Roll to me! I wish Tootsie Rolls were all I saw in this old ad! Don’t look now Tootsie, but I think that young man is reuniting his tootsie roll with…

  • Male Chauvinist Mondays: The More Things Change…

    In the first LoSH story, we get to see that even in the 30th century some things never change: “Ha-ha! Kal-El got beat up by an icky girl! What a wuss!” You know Cosmic Boy, I wouldn’t be ragging on girls while standing next to one who could erase your mind!

  • I Hope She Belted Him Good.

    Yes Iris! Tell that pig where to get off! This is why I love DC. If this were a panel from The Avengers, it would probably feature The Wasp thinking “Oh Hank is so right. I’d best go home and bake like I’m supposed to!”

  • Hal Jordan, Ladies Man.

    Yellow Fear Monster, or just being a dick? You decide!

  • Uh-Oh.

    Hercules just couldn’t hold it anymore. That’s gotta be embarrassing.

  • The Avengers Take a Stance on Immigration.

    I hate when comic books get political.

  • SuperVegan.

    “But you don’t understand, I can see their souls!” (Sorry, Superman #220/Birthright reference. Might be TOO geeky for some.)

  • *blink*

    “Mommy? What’s that man doing to Black Canary?”

  • This One’s For West

    Beating His WHAT? Panel is from IM 38 Why oh WHY is this the first thing that springs to Tony Stark’s mind? Oh, and by the way, the issue is that he’s an ex-con. But he’s an ex-con because he’s poor and black, and if you were a Black Marvel Character in the early years,…

  • It’s the War-Capades!

    “A genius?” Frankly, anyone who can sell the idea of rocket-powered roller-skates to the Pentagon may be a genius, but more along the marketing type. Imagine trying to hit a target with a rifle while moving at those speeds; plus note the lack of protective gear of any kind.

  • Responding to Deleted Comment.

    In my first post attempt of the day, “The Reverend’s Confessional” asked how I was. I deleted the post, killing the comment, but thanks for asking Rev. I’m okay. Daughter is fighting a virus and so is my Far Better Half, and I’m fairly sure I have it… but that’s life. Now… let’s throw an…

  • There Are No Words.

    I’m sorry, but this is just creepy. “Burn the comic and pour drain-o in your ear” creepy. It wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t look like Billy and Freddy were waiting their turns…

  • More Kinky Fun With Iron Man.

    He’s an armor-clad sex fiend, I tell you! Iron Man #77, for all your fisting needs!.

  • My Mind is Boggled.

    So I downloaded a “half” chapter of “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck” (which is on my Holiday Wish List). The chapter in question is translated, and something tells me not by an official translator. Why do I say that? See for yourself: Wow. The idea of a Disney character saying “bitch” just blows…

  • How Disappointing.

    When the Weather Wizard dubbed his weapon an “electro-vibrator wand” I was expecting much more… mundane but entertaining uses for it. Especially since he’d just gotten out of Prison.

  • Poppa Spanks — for Real!

    You know those scans of Batman threatening to spank a woman that are floating over the internet? Well, that’s not the only time… It’s worse in context. He’s spanking her for trying to kill herself. It ends up on the front page of the paper. I bet that stopped her from wanting to end her…

  • Performance Anxiety.

    Poor Backlash! There, there big guy, it happens to everyone. Me? Oh G-d no. I’m all man. Oh don’t cry! Okay, so the writer of Iron Man #224 WAS probably thinking this

  • “She’s one of those people who explore caves”

    “Spelunker?” “Not yet, but I’m hoping to this weekend!” What Batman doesn’t mention is that Yumiko left after he asked her to dress up in a little red and green outfit and swing from a trapeze for him.

  • Complete Namor’s Sentence!

    Iron Man Annual #10 brings us this gem! 1) Stare at my mighty torpedo! It is not meant for surface dwellers such as you! The Mighty Namor is no mere piece of Meat! Hello? My eyes are up here. Imperious Rex! 2) Continue to disparage my manhood! Know you not how cold the ocean is?…

  • Bat-Revenge!

    “Save the guy who’s tried to kill me about a thousand times? Thanks, but no thanks.”

  • Breathing Only Pure Oxygen Causes BRAIN DAMAGE.

    Or so I’m starting to think. Case in point: Mr. Element, from yesterday’s post (scroll down, people!) came back one issue later with a new name and a new power: Wait. He can turn anything he wants into anything else… so he uses that amazing ability to… rob a bank? This is not a Very…

  • Mr. Element says “High, Kids!”

    Mr. Element is a wacky Flash villain who’s obsessed with the periodic table. However the below panel from Showcase #13 gives us a bit of insight into his mind: Um, I may be wrong, but isn’t it ungood to breath in straight Oxygen? Or is Mr. Element really Woody Harrelson?
