Crowetron posted:Why do Perry White and J. Jonah Jameson dress the same? Was there some stereotype about the fashion choices of newspaper editors in the 60's? Oh man thank you. I somehow managed to completely forget what comics universe I was in and spent the whole thing wondering "when did Jameson get fat?"

Since they're in/on a Delorean and the woman is firing a proton pack, does that mean the sword is also something 80s? He-Man's sword? Lion-O's?

(There might be a story where they got cut off, but even that shows how important they are)

It's how he flies. Venom like, chomped on his ankle once and wrecked his wings so he couldn't fly for a while.

I like the idea that Cleo and Wong, in making sure people wouldn't freak out at Namor running around naked, were also concerned that people would freak out about the shape of his head. No mention was made of her hair's whole deal with the horseshoe-horn-thing.

Not only is Thor awesome in this issue but also Iceman, who showed up out of nowhere in the previous issue through the use of an actual deus ex machina.

I've seen the "Human Torch (or an analog) uses fire powers to shave" a few times in comics, and I have to imagine that burning your beard off to a smooth shave would be hugely uncomfortable.

They use a lighter to burn off any long, scraggly hairs from your ears. It's very effective and doesn't hurt that much. But I couldn't recommend it for a while beard.

Merry Christmas, goons! 'Tis the season for jolly and cheer, which makes this post extra weird since it's probably gonna put you in a bad mood!! So. About two weeks ago, I became aware of a certain comic by Dark Horse Comics.  Meet Angel Catbird. You can tell he's an Angel Catbird because of his angel wings, and owl head, and aquaman pants, and the cover saying ANGEL CATBIRD. But that's not really what's important here. What's important here is the top name associated with with this munitions fire. Does it seem familiar? That's because it's Margaret Atwood. The Margaret Atwood. The woman who wrote The Handmaid's Tale.  I checked and double-checked. It's the same Margaret Atwood, which makes the existence of this comic ever more baffling. Now, why am I telling you all this? It's simple. Because Angel Catbird  is  loving  awful. Every page is like this. Now the art itself is competent enough, but what seems to have happened here is that Margaret Atwood designed the characters, and the artist (Johnnie Christmas, apparently) did the best with what he was given.  seriously, look at this poo poo  But the best ("best") part is the writing, which is just this absolute trainwreck. I picked a particularly good example here, where the love interest who's known Angel Catbird for all of a day decides to inform the reader of her estrus cycle, and also the main hero just yeeting his Catbird-y-ness off his body by thinking of a washing machine. You have to see this for yourself to truly understand how bad the writing is. And this isn't just like the art where she provided a rough draft and a hack writer ran with it; as far as I can tell, Margaret Atwood wrote the entire script, by herself. And what a script it is, being absolutely filled to the prime with bargain bin cat puns and every single character being horny, made worse by how Atwood would've been like 77 when she wrote this. It seriously reads like her realizing she was a furry and working through it in the form of this comic. I can definitely provide more if you goons are interested in some grade-A garbage; It's the worst loving published comic I've ever read in years and it's hilarious for all the wrong reasons.
