I know of at least one occurence of naturally evolved gears, which is one more than I would have expected.

I liked Circuitbreaker. I liked how Marvel wasn't afraid to explore different ideas in their comics.

Real talk: The 'Nam still holds up. The middle or so definitely becomes a bit less focused, but goddamn does that series still hold up. Hama strikes again.

Hell yes it does. I wish they'd put more up on Unlimited, used to live that book back in the day.

Circuit Breaker was hilarious in that they forced her into 2 panels of an issue of Secret Wars 2 a week or so before her appearance in Transformers. gently caress you, Hasbro!! Original character do not steal!!!

There is also that one bacteria that essentially emulates an outboard engine as it swims. Creationists thought it was proof it was made by a God until people pointed out the perfectly scientific reason it existed. Well, creationists still thought it was proof but there is no pleasing them.

It’s a pretty big leap from “Down with the man” to “I hope we sell the government more missiles this year.” They must have cut him a pretty fat check to get him so sell out so comprehensively. I can’t wait to hear all about his superhero adventure!

What's profoundly funny is that gives the impression that the defense contractor superhero team is, in fact, a completely bog-standard action hero team. I think you can find the same young-rebel-turned-sour-expert archetype in so many stories that it's hard to name a single example.

It was only released on their website, briefly. They planned to give out the physical book after the panel, but, well....

That book does not belong in the funny thread because there's nothing funny about it.

Take it to the thread where this is being discussed as I'm sure there's much in there worth making GBS threads on.

This is the same Batgirl from a few years ago, right? I mean, it's probably the hair, but that batgirl looked like a teen and this one looks more adult.

Going by the costumes I think this is probably a flashback scene.

E. Not that that makes it make sense that she looks older here but Babs age has been very flexible since the beginning of the new 52 and nobody was sure what was canon or how long she had been paralyzed or whatever. It's completely dependent on the artist at this point.

It's a plot detail in the GI Joe comics that Major Bludd is actually a godawful poet, and his poetry has only been published in the newsletter of a prison he was in.

The funny thing is, he's not the only member of Cobra who does that trick. Destro's mask was also rigged with explosives or electricity. It takes a very specific combination to take it off. Which Duke managed one time with a perfect punch to Destro's face.
