Can God make a printer so big even he can't carry it to some girl's house?

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



you're asking the wrong questions. it's not about carrying the printer, it's about getting a hug after for doing so.

That's almost literally a Spider-Man comic from the Ditko era. That's also one of the greatest comics ever made.

I remember watching this 9-11 documentary and there was a section where they were discussing it's impact on mass media and they interviewed Stan Lee. He talked about the old WWII-era comics and how stuff like the above was the norm.

He said something to the effect of, "...those were different times then. Nowadays we certainly wouldn't publish a Captain America comic where he goes around beating up Muslims!"

Well I should hope not. I mean what kind of tone-deaf idiot would do tha...

Supposedly when DC pulled the project ad a negotiating tactic, Frank threatened to change the characters to be Daredevil and Elektra and that he'd sell it to Marvel.

They also turned it down.

It is a seriously funny series. Basically there exists an agency that helps deal with unruly spirits and the main character of the series is the guy training. The other main character is a young woman who has a conga line of spirits following her everywhere and as the series progresses the line gets longer and more of the spirits show off their personalities.

our every move is the new tradition
Every so often, I go back and reread some of Len Kaminski's run on Iron Man and War Machine from the '90s. It's mostly been forgotten, which I have to figure owes a lot to the general stink surrounding the Avengers franchise in the period immediately preceding the Busiek/Perez years (ugh, Force Works), but Kaminski managed to do a few years of good solid comics regardless. He's actually my dark horse contender for a spot on the top ten Iron Man writers of all time.

I almost posted this to How Wonderful's Pride thread, but figured it would make more sense here. Background: in Rhodey's solo book (1994-1996), the initial setup was that he and Tony are on the outs, so Rhodey has gone solo. He and his girlfriend, Rae DeCoste (who seems to just get straight-up memory-holed after this book was over), move away and Rhodey takes a job as the director of Worldwatch, a non-profit human rights organization.

Naturally, his activities as War Machine conflict heavily with that, and in issue #11, Rhodey decides to come clean with his co-workers and reveal his secret identity to them in an attempt to move forward honestly. When he goes into the office to get that done, however, he finds out that they're already dealing with a completely different scandal.

If you had told me somebody would make a Harry Potter parody manga about a guy with superhuman strength instead of magic, I'd wonder what you were smoking. But Mashle is exactly that and is probably one of the better humor comics out right now.

Almost everyone can do magic, and those who can't are persecuted, he and his family are found out so he uses feats of superhuman athleticism to pretend to be magic. It's very One Punch Man
