Senior Woodchuck posted:That's not at all how it went. Peter David got assigned Supergirl, thought the whole "she's a shape-shifting clone of Lana Lang from a pocket dimension where there were another Superboy and Supergirl who were friends with the Legion" was too complicated, so he went with "she's an angel" instead. He did that for 50 issues, then she was just Linda Danvers with Golden Age Superman's powers. 25 issues of that, then he reintroduced Kara Zor-El as part of a plan to rebrand the book as "Supergirls" (with Power Girl eventually coming in as well), but it got canceled, so he wrote both Kara and Linda out of the universe. Nobody ever really mentioned any of it again; the next Supergirl was Lois and Clark's daughter from the future, and she only lasted about a year before DC brought back Kara "for reals". Slightly off topic, but why the hell is the continuity in DC so much more convoluted than Marvel? Maybe I am seeing it differently since I lean towards Marvel comics though.

Some characters are horribly ridiculous. Look at Captain Marvel / Miss Marvel / Warbird / Binary / Carol Danvers (yes this is all the one person)

It's a different kind of complex. DC reboots a lot. Marvel keeps continuity going and assumes everything is canon even when it makes no sense unless they explicitly remove it from canon. Did you know Spider-Man once revealed his identity and then sold his marriage to Satan only for Satan to alter reality so he got hit by a brick so he didn't get married and then Spider-Man's friends helped him erase his identity which was somehow Satan's fault and that also erased Satan stealing his marriage except it didn't and all the events that happened to married Spider-Man still happened except the ones that didn't?

ImpAtom posted:It's a different kind of complex. DC reboots a lot. Marvel keeps continuity going and assumes everything is canon even when it makes no sense unless they explicitly remove it from canon. I think it's a little more than that. DC has a longer history, and due to it being decidedly more addled in the Silver Age, had a lot more baggage going into the '80s. DC also had to deal with things like acquiring the Charleston characters and reconciling the adventures of the Justice Society, so growing up on DC meant having to accept a lot more random craziness than Marvel. Marvel's not immune to it. The X-Men as a franchise has a lot of convoluted time-travel nonsense thrown in, including something like three or four separate, threatening Bad Futures that never quite seem to be permanently averted; the history of Valeria Richards reads like a fever dream; and don't get me started on "The Crossing." One of the big changes in Quesada's tenure as editor-in-chief, however, was the "don't worry about it" clause, where they feel very free to ignore things that are terrible or which make no sense. Dan Slott seems to be the last real continuity cop left at the company, although Al Ewing on a good day can make some crazily deep cuts.

Too, Marvel began as a single universe from the mind of one guy (more or less), and during its formative years it was tightly controlled by the likes of Roy Thomas and Jim Shooter. DC's major characters were all created separately, with wildly disparate histories, and fitted together into a shared universe after the fact.

If we are posting fake newspaper Spider-Man strips, then you've got to go with the most absurd one: To this day I'll think of it and giggle.

I have no idea how to search for the drat things, but my favorite of the cracked doctored spider-man comic strips is the one where Mysterio is gay for Spider-Man, just because it gets exponentially funnier if you read it out loud with proper inflection and timing. "Spider-Man...I'm gay...FOR YOU!" "NO!"

Were these from an SA thread or someplace else? I've only seen the JJ Limp Bizkit one before and now I need to see the rest.

Here's a link to all 20 of them. I remember finding them from somewhere else but that might have gone down. E) Beaten like Spider-Man without a hard hat in a construction zone.

The spiderman strip edits were done by Jay Pinkerton, who was an early Cracked writer/editor and now works for Valve.

I am friends with the guy who did SpiderDub and he said he just started doing it one day, independent of those comics, but he does love them very much. He did some Johnny Quest and Batman, too. They most likely sprang out of the YoutubePoop scene, he used to be pretty big into it while he was in film school.

Also, didn't the aforementioned (non-powered) criminal somehow throw it at him, apparently hard and fast enough for Peter to not only not dodge it but actually daze him in the first place? Plus I think the artist screwed up the chest Spider in this panel.
