I've been tempted to pick up the World's Finest omnibus--it seems like it'd be pretty fun and I love those Silver Age plots. Was that what you were reading from?

What's the run-down on the various humor comics? What If can get close sometimes, but stuff like Not Brand Echh and What the...?

I never read any of them, can anyone explain what their deal is?

They're like Mad Magazine but all the jokes are about Marvel Comics. It requires you to have a general knowledge of Marvel characters and/or recent events (for example there's a 6 page parody of Secret Empire), but other than that it's just stupid pretty easy to get jokes.

They're not really around though. Even though that page says "Next Issue", Uatu's right, there won't be one. The only reason it's #14 is because Marvel released a bunch of single issues of old canceled series using their original numbering. NBE #13 came out in 1967. What The- ? last came out in 93. There was another humor comic that came out after Secret Wars called Secret Wars Too that was basically the same thing as both those series, dumb jokes.

I feel like that'd be enjoyable in a MTG Unglued way. Are any of those collected somewhere? Or are they on Marvel Unlimited?

So I finally got around to getting the latest Atomic Robo volume Atomic Robo and the Ring of Fire. I get to the end and what do I find?



Well, not exactly. He's still MIA after the Time Bomb explosion that sent Robo back to the 1800s. BUT it was a bunch of entries from Dr. Dinosaur's SUPER SECRET BEST PLANS EVER file.





I don't know if it's available outside of this volume, but god drat every page of this file is gold.
