Aug 17, 2006 in Ads, What Were They Thinking

Taken from an issue of Whiz comics, featuring the Magnetic powers of VOLTO!

I’d like to take a closer look at panel one, please…

Check that first panel.

“Fagged out? Try Rice Krispies!”

Um, yeah…

Scary Ad.

I have nothing against the NRA, but this ad from WHIZ frightens me.



Poor Captain Marvel Junior..

Aug 14, 2006 in Captain Marvel, What Were They Thinking

So young Freddy Freeman is crippled by Captain Nazi and ends up being empowered by Captain Marvel.

Oh great, so now he doesn’t have to live life as a cripple.

Right?

Wrong!

“You will have to go through life in your own form…you little gimp.”

That’s just mean.


Captain Over-Compensation!

Poor Captain Marvel clearly has issues

It’s the Flying Willy of Death!

Don’t you miss the good old day when one could get away with teasing other races in public like that?

“Sorry Guys.”

Captain Marvel’s a bit too rough.

Experimentation is good, but safety words are better.


Words you Don’t See Much In Comics Anymore.

Aug 07, 2006 in Captain Marvel, What Were They Thinking

At least, not in this context.

In broad daylight, no less!

It’s like a really, really wrong sort of batsignal.


Why the Sphinx is cool.

Not the ancient wonder of the world, but the supervillian. Old Nova bad guy, also fought the FF when Wolfman wrote it (in a storyline that basically wrapped the series “Nova” volume 1 up).

His origin?

He’s the Egyptian Magician Moses/Moshe “pwned”.

I don’t know why that struck me as worth noting, but it did so… here it is.
