The character synopsis for Iron Fist back in the day was odd enough given that it's speaking in the second person but the weirdest part is definitely the first line mentioning his dad's balls.  Source is any old school Iron Man comic but specifically this is from his Marvel Premiere days.

Maybe it's a thing like Zeus birthing Athena only out of the crotch, xenomorph-style.

Finally getting around to Morrison's Doom Patrol and this made me chuckle: Doom Patrol (v2) 23.

I don't suppose anyone happens to have the pages from the old What The--?! Marvel parody comic from the early '90s, where Reed Richards invents a Skrull detector and uses it, only to discover he's the only one in the room who isn't a Skrull? Failing that, does anyone remember what issue that was?

That's cause it's Tatanga, the villain from Super Mario Land on the game boy, which this is a tie in for. When I was a kid, I got in a bad car accident once, and my grandparents got me these books, and the Valiant one for the cartoon series to read during my hospital stay.

I really, really like the unexpected swerve where they torpedo the metaphor and actually talk directly, unambiguously about homophobia. Involving cave men named Adam and Steve. This is a good loving comic.

Actually they're waiting at county general to patch him up. The cop is like the one good cop on Monster Beat, and apparently last time the docs screwed up the bandages, so he's sticking around to make sure it's done right.

quite stretched out posted:so is it like a cop comic version of Ugly Americans? because I could dig that Well the main central character has been Prudence (where "Code Pru" comes from) the EMT with the rear end, also working monster beat, and it's less of a comedy, but otherwise, yeah pretty much. I loved Ugly Americans, by the way. Cinema Purgatorio is an anthology book spearheaded by Alan Moore that I've liked 100%. Moore's effort (teamed with his LoEG buddy Kevin O'Neil) has a faceless narrator having dreams (?) of going to this old theater that shows dark, twisted versions of genre theater, often removing the artifice of hollywood. Code Pru is actually a Garth Ennis joint but doesn't feel as misanthropic as he normally does. Kieran Gillan does Modded, about a sort of mix between Mad Max setting, and a Pokemon or Shin Megami Tensei type world where things are not so bright and cheery, and a fairy like girl has to have her mentor show her the ropes of how violent the daemon-fighting is in an attempt to rescue her first creature, which was kidnapped by an awful trainer. There's also The Vast by Cristos Gage, which is a very Pacific Rim esque story of Kaiju running amok that also have the ability to mutate the world around them. And finally, Max Brooks brings us A More Perfect Union, a what if where the American Civil War is fought instead of brother vs brother, man vs monster. It's decent if for no other reason than he loads it with historical accuracies, and usually has a text history lesson afterwards detailing the real story for the characters places and technologies he uses. Every story in the book is a winner to my personal preferences, and I'd read a whole book of Code Pru

I really wish they'd bring Tatanga back in the games some how. And Wart. I mean, most of Mario 2 made it into future games, but not Wart.

I gotta be honest. Every "marriage" comic people have posted is loving dumb. It isn't satire it's just dumb. "Hey, what people got upset... about heterosexual marriage?!" is weird and meaningless and incoherent even as a joke. Like why are they calling them perverts? It only works as a cheap copy-paste of gay marriage arguments but they don't follow logically over from "marriage is not a thing." Maybe I'm missing something.

No, you're about right. Everyone is impressed because it's a Flintstones book with decent art and novel writing. It's like watching your fish jump out of the tank and start singing Katy Perry. Sure it's not "Carmen," but you're watching a fish sing out of water you're already so far beyond expectations you can't help but be ecstatic.

Maybe I'm missing something. It's not just that it's a thing. The concept of monogamy, fathers knowing who their children are, ect after cavetribe polyamory is the societal shock. I didn't actually actually like this week's comic much, but free love being the conservative stance of cavemen is funny. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Oct 7, 2016 |

They could completely drop the Flintstones thing and just have a clubbingly dull "social commentary" comic. All things being equal, though, maybe I would rather have this than "There is a fourth wall in comics. Whoops I forgot to tell a joke!" for the millionth time.
