Nothing quite that level, but it's still a total mess with a handful of genuinely good moments. It's one of those weird tie-ins where they try to sketch out the mythology before the canon stuff has been able to figure itself out, like the Marvel Star Wars comics or NOW's Terminator stuff.

Fun fact: That scene got them cancelled because Capcom was pissed. But it did last long enough to have Street Fighter's first ever crossover as E. Honda fought Malibu Comics superhero the Ferret!

Can't say I blame them. That was just... bad.

Also, impromptu makeout session between Ryu and Chun-Li, who've never once shown an ounce of romantic interest in, well, anyone.

I bought that book when I was like 6 or something and it was one of the most "what the gently caress" moments of my young life.

Guy was a name before it just meant "human male." I believe it started being slang for idiot after Guy Fawkes failed to blow up parliament, and then migrated definitions.

I just checked and it turns out you're right that the people featured in my joke were all born before 1847.

Sure, but how many are named "Koi"? Rooks are a different species of corvids than crows or ravens, not a name or another term for "crow" For a person, it would be like naming someone Neanderthal.

Which now that I think about it, isn't that bad of name.

Quantum and Woody #1



Quantum and Woody #2

The series is about two brothers who get their powers from these special bracelets, but they have to clang them together once every 24 hours or they'll die. In the latest run, they get in a huge fight and go their separate ways.



The argument had to do with the discovery that Woody's biological father is still alive. Later, Woody is blackmailed into working for some criminals and they explain that they have his father. Woody wants proof.
