That is the phenomenal art team Gurihiru. The fact that they are not at the helm of an A-list ongoing is Exhibit A in the case against the modern American comics industry.

It is the backup story in the otherwise terrible "World War Hulks: Captain America vs. Wolverine" from the equally terrible World War Hulks crossover event, as penned by our own Hyperactive.

I would assume he flew out the open window you can see a few panels down behind Sue. So he turned and flamed on out of there.

Pretty much Gurihiru and Sana Takeda are the only ones who actually draw kids as kids and not really small adults.

The Funny Panels thread is on something of a Taskmaster roll at the moment and it reminded me to post this but this doesn't quite belong there. Avengers: The Initiative #13, for a criminal Taskmaster is something of a softy. Basically, the large guy is Butterball, a new Initiative recruit that Taskmaster has been doing his best impersonation of R. Lee Ermey only to be stymied at every turn by Butterball's invulnerability. However, when a bunch of C-list villains show up to kill Taskmaster he ends up pitching in during the fight only to be captured but at the same time giving a bunch of other Initiative members the chance to blast them and him both, leading to the villains running away. Afterwards, this happens:

Butterball's pose in that picture really makes it for me. His confidence has just been shattered by his heroes, but the villains put him on top of the world.
That issue is really gets me.

She thought he was breaking up because the challenges they face were too big. He's saying, "You don't get it, that just means the obstacles we have to overcome are just that much bigger." They're two teenagers in love - poo poo gets overly dramatic at times, yo.

I suppose. And having them do jobs to "Earn their redemption" or something would just put it back into Thunderbolts territory, never mind blackmailing or otherwise coercing them. DC fanboys would be howling about the Suicide Squad ripoff before the first issue hits the stands.

It really is a shame because I enjoyed the riffs on Ocean's 11 and The Usual Suspects Marvel did. I also followed Villains United/Secret Six, so I suppose I'm into bad guys or former bad guys trying to do good.

Even more so since directly points out the sacrifices of American war veterans, which makes any hate mail it generated even more odious.

I really do like it though, nicely done, and the message is something really in line with Superman's own philosophy vs Superman gives a lecture on farm safety.

Hey, it's not like he isn't qualified to talk about farms. Really, you've inspired me to think of a one-shot where Superman illustrates safety on the farm and in other highly-dangerous industries a la Staplerfahrer Klaus, except instead of him getting wrecked the equipment does. He regrows the super-mullet and doesn't tie it back when working near an industrial fan, wears loose-fitting clothing working a table saw, forgets to disconnect the power to a lawnmower while cleaning it, and so forth.

Gah, of all the better examples I could have picked, why did I use farm! Okay lets say Superman teaching STD stuff.

That would be awesome, but don't forget Shake Hands with Danger either!

I just want to add that people should take a look at the PSA pages, lots of really neat ones.
Title for this one does give a person an unintended chuckle though.

I was kind of confused for a second by the wording in one of those panels and thought Superman brought back the ghost of the racist kid's brother. Maybe he did considering how surprised racist kid is to see his brother.
