Can I get some context as to why Galactus is having one of his sentry robots attack Detroit? I'm a sucker for stupid Detroit stories.

The conquering Colonizer aliens are fighting against the High Evolutionary's New Men in a far-flung space battle for a planet and to distract Iron Man from the battle the Colonizers teleport Galactus' Punisher robot to Earth via the moon and with the two of them magnetically locked together and hurtling towards Earth Tony Stark's supercriminal girlfriend Madame Masque mistakes them for attacking nukes and with the assent of Tony Stark's android Life Model Decoy she launches the government's new Super Missile and in the ensuing blast Iron Man and the Punisher robot end up falling smack dab into a Detroit street.

So y'know, nothing unusual.

Surely this is a fan comic or something? I hope I never see a retail product that uses Comic Sans.

That was surprisingly not terribly complicated to follow. In a comic-book-only kinda way.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

As English is very blatantly not that guy's first language, I should think so.

But it says Robo right there in the name. If he was a cyborg, they should have called him cybocop.

Was she fattened by kryptonite-laced lard?

Coincidentally, Man of Steel's Lois Lane is Amy Adams. Adams was in an episode of Smallville where she played a fat girl mutated by kryptonite to have super eating powers or something.

People had very different conceptions of how fat a human being could actually get in those days.

Those magical, halcyon days.

Yeah I think if you cracked 300 lbs. in those days you were considered the 1% of what was even possible for the human frame to endure.

I mean ok he's a little chunky, but I could throw a rock and hit two people like that in the street these days, I certainly don't need to pay a carnival money to see one.

The text bubble would've been unreadable, so it's axed. If you really want, I can try to fit the bubble from the full res sample into the space, but I figured you'd just use the title text if you wanted to keep the haircuts.

Metropolis is the healthiest city in America, what with Superman picking random pudgy people off the ground and cracking jokes about them.

"Hahaha holy poo poo and I thought that saving that sinking tanker last night was a tough deal but daaamn bitch! Next time there's an asteroid coming towards Earth I should just toss your gigantic rear end at it, breaking it right into little pieces. Earth better watch out, looks like Krypton doesn't have a monopoly on problems with red supergiants! Heard that Lex gave up on trying to design a door wide enough for you to walk through and oh Parasite took one look at you and said "are you loving kidding me?" Man you spin around on the roof of a building couple of times and people going to think that some other news company is trying to ape Daily Planet"

There is a rumor that Mort Weisenger was making everyone create stories based on his trip to the psychiatrist. I 100% believe it, and think that if editorial interference has to be the watchword of the day, can't it at least be like that?
