Supes hurled the dude into outer space? Man, that'd straight up murder a normal drug dealer and he doesn't give a single poo poo.

I think it was metaphorically also a sexual harassment PSA. "Suck my cigarettes!"

I like to think that's just Gambit's default method of entering anywhere. "Here, let me get that door for you sir" "Nah I'm good" BOOM

Was the artist told to draw a monkey or the world's smallest black man caricature? Or are those two things one and the same for him?

That reminds me of the story arc where the Outsiders split from Batman and one of their first actions is to fight against Apartheid era South Africa. Spoiler warning: It goes really badly for the team.

Just once I'd like to see an action hero beating the poo poo out of a domestic abuser not end with the battered wife taking their husband's side. It's a really tired and reductive way to portray domestic abuse. Just once, I want her to cheer the hero on and kick the jackass in the ribs while he's down. E:

I think there was another one with Wolverine like that. He's chilling up in Canada doing non-X-men stuff, trying to relax, and every night he hears his neighbor beating the hell out of his wife. He always comes home drunk as hell, just ready to fight. One night he comes home, Wolverine is there instead of the wife. Wolvie gets stabbed in the thigh but manages to scare the abuser off. Pretty sure the wife is grateful rather than crawling back to her abuser. I want to say he switched cabins or hotel rooms with her in the end. This was shortly after he had the adamantium pulled out of him, IIRC.

He's on the grounds of the Xavier institute trying to get a grip on his regression into a feral state from the adamantium loss. Superman pretty much broke every bone in the guy's body with that toss.

I like that Superman's still in the middle of changing his clothes while busting into the house. "Excuse me sir, I'm here with the Daily Planet to KICK YOUR rear end"

I'm pretty sure The Pro was an OGN, so there's only the one "issue". Also it's not very good, Amanda Conner art notwithstanding.

The Pro is Ennis at his ugliest and most cynical. He's just a hair's breadth away from turning into Mark Millar there.

I dunno, from that video it looked pretty solidly tongue-in-cheek. I mean...it was crude and over-the-top, but it seemed like it lacked the weird, fetishistic sadism of your average Mark Millar stuff. The comic might be different, though, of course.
