"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
So I just got my slightly-dogeared TPB of Dini's Batman: Detective book and I had forgotten just how loving good these six stories were. The Riddler one involving him taking Batman to an underground BDSM club made me :stare: a bit when I saw the book was earmarked under "Young Adult." The "Slayride" story with Joker and Robin with dead parents in the back of their SUV would be enough to give any kid nightmares.

Here's a "motion comic" of the issue (with some pretty horrible amateur voiceover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3pq8iP__HM (note: turn your speakers down once the Christmas carol starts playing)

Captain Marvel comics are just kind of like that. They are the same person but also different people. It's a bit weird but they're pretty consistent with it.

Were Captain Marvel comics where people with obscure fetishes hung out before the internet? That scientist seems way less outraged by such a bizarre and humiliating punishment than I'd expect.

The latter, definitely. Like, on a critical level, it's pretty laughable, but it's definitely a fun time if you're a wrestling fan.

If the art didn't look like Greg Land trying to imitate Michael Kupperman, it'd probably be a much better read. As it is, extremely iconic wrestlers look nothing like their real life counterparts, and characters' faces fluctuate wildly from panel to panel.

He's a black man wearing a cape. Clearly the best person to take the role is Mr. Colt .45 himself, Billy Dee Williams.

Tony Stark has given JJJ the Mk II suit in exchange for a donation to his favorite charity. JJJ turns it into Manbot, a remote controlled robot that tracks Spider-Man's heartbeat. Also note that the Sunday colorist and Daily colorist are having a disagreement over Iron Man.





But that may not be the end of Manbot!

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.

When you think about it, a lot of the stuff that nerds have today were supervillain staples. Multiple monitors, cameras everywhere spying, "cool" nickames they gave themselves, crippling inferiority complexes coupled with a desire to look down on everyone and SHOW THEM ALL, etc.
